Here’s your July 2025 Martin Minute for Goleta real estate, covering both homes and condos.

The year-to-date median sale price in Goleta is holding steady, showing only a slight increase over last year — a sign of stability in the market. Sales activity in July was nearly identical to last year, but homes are taking longer to sell, with the average days on market nearly doubling.

Inventory is the big story — it’s climbed sharply compared to last year, giving buyers more choice and reducing the urgency that’s been so common in recent years.

For buyers – with more homes available and a slower pace, you have a prime opportunity to shop carefully, compare options, and negotiate strong terms.

For sellers – standing out is key. Strong photos, smart staging, and strategic pricing will help you capture attention in a market where speed is no longer guaranteed.
