I am selling a house in Santa Barbara to use the funds in Dayton and Memphis.

@Barbara Warren Th due diligence period is in the Contract that you are assigning, at least it should be.  

I am a designer and a realtor in Santa Barbara, CA.

Because all the locals all know the triangle of Diana Street, Joanna Street, and Barbara Street is a place to avoid, the worst nexus of the high hood where the local drug trade lives and breathes.Yet Diana, Joanna, Barbara Street houses are still getting sold to OOS and institutional investors.The other thing that's happening is that people are buying cheap-construction properties in the same hoods for inflated prices, stuff that's obviously heading for a teardown.

It's the only way any normal person can afford a house here in Santa Barbara.

@Max Zappas I would expand you definition of central coast down to Santa Barbara.

And Barbara Harrison, if you have children.

I am in Santa Barbara and looking to buy and commute as i dont have enough money to play the game here in SB.Been looking at Ventura area for a while but also so is very expensive.

The Santa Barbara market (as well as others) make it really difficult to get in but I will work with what I am given.

This was the first new construction near Santa Barbara.
