Explore Padaro Beachfront in Santa Barbara - Plus an Avocado Ranch Estate

[@leeanderson497]

I really like your channel. I am 75, born and raised in S.B most beautiful city anywhere! My folks bought a brand new house at 1311 Chino and we were there for 14 yrs until we moved out to 4683 Atasco Dr next to San Marcos H.S. Folks paid $9,000 for the Chino house and around $17,000 for the other. I saw a house in the 1400 block of Chino, built in the 30's going for over 2ML and the other place was worth about the same! I live in the Phoenix area now, but love to watch you show off that paradise. Thank you!

[@joesbparker]

Well thanks for watching and I appreciate you leaving a comment. Glad it’s giving you some time to visit your hometown virtually. Have a great weekend.

[@margiesplace259]

Joe, big smile on my face when I heard the waves crashing. Thank you so much for showing all these homes and thank you for being such a great mentor. Love your videos. Can't wait to move back home. soon...

[@joesbparker]

Glad you got to enjoy the ocean for a little little bit in the video. Thanks again for your support. Appreciate you watching in commenting.

[@Rick-m3c]

Great video Joe. I wish you would have spent a little more time on the outside of that last house. Beautiful property. Keep the vids coming, I watch them all. I really enjoy the insight you give regarding the montecito/Santa barbara community.

[@joesbparker]

Yeah, there was a lot to see there. I could’ve spent the whole video on that property I think. I often will work with active buyers and do private tours for them on video so if you ever find yourself in that position where you’re looking to purchase, I’d be happy to go back to any properties or any new ones that I haven’t covered and do a private video for you.

[@curiousgirl.4134]

Joe, doesn’t $12M seem high for this house? I know its got the awesome location with beach access but comparing to “like” price in Montecito with views, more land and upgraded homes? 🤷‍♀️ I lived in DEL Mar and Encinitas in San Diego which had the train cruising nearby … I guess Del Mar has gotten pretty much like the Padaro home that the price seems to be $10M for location on the beach? We have gotten insane on the prices to be on the beach haven’t we?

[@joesbparker]

Yes, it does seem overpriced and clearly the market is telling the seller that as well since it’s been on the market for so many days. Seems like beachfront premium can be hard to pin down, but it is a real thing and it definitely jacks up prices I’m wondering when that will change? At what point will beachfront start losing value with ocean levels rising?

[@douglasthompson9482]

Vastly overpriced….cut it to 4million then we’ll talk. I love Santa Barbara but it’s overpriced. Looking to get a second home but maybe Palm Springs might be better.

[@joesbparker]

@douglasthompson9482 call me Palm Springs is too hot. I can negotiate that price down for you.

[@historicphoenix2263]

Oh you went to 1865 Cravens Lane!!! I love that one SO much!!! Did it smell weedy?

[@joesbparker]

Yes, you could smell it. It wasn’t overwhelming that day, but it was definitely in the air.

[@SqueakyPeeps]

My hubby and I are cyclists and one of our favorite rides is thru Padaro Ln going from Ventura to Santa Barbara. I always said that if I won the lottery I'd buy a place on Padaro for sure....until I saw this video. I love super quite surroundings and the beach front properties are anything BUT that. With the sounds of the crashing waves, the train, and the 101 fwy, you can have those homes. I'll for sure take the Montecito house with it's beautiful landscaping and it was a much better price for the size. It also looked like a California coastal home (minus that hideous tile). It had such charm and great architectural details, and a POOL! Plus my neighbors aren't looking at me thru their windows, they are far away. The landscaping reminds me of the LA Arboretum. I would move in tomorrow.

[@joesbparker]

Well, I’m glad we got your future plans squared away and have you focused in on what you’re gonna buy when you win the lotto. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment.

[@divasamai2251]

Thanks for sharing! I’m learning a lot about high end real estate.

[@joesbparker]

You’re so welcome thank you for watching. Appreciate you leaving a comment.

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

I love that Avocado Ranch home...love the privacy and the classic architecture. 7 Million is a bargain for that place with 5 acres.

[@joesbparker]

Agreed. There’s some crazy values in this market when you compare it to some of the stuff that absolutely gets hammered by buyers the moment it hits the market. Even as a local broker it’s sometimes hard to wrap your mind around where values are property to property.

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

@@joesbparker I spent a lot of my life going to Newport Beach and renting beach house there. Always said if I won the lotto thats where I would live. But now as an old guy I would say I would rather live in a quiet private place like that Avocado property. Truly a private compound....love the pool area, the green house and raised bed gardens and the understated style of the home These must be trying times for a realtor with the 7% rates. People dont understand that 7% is not a bad rate historically. I bought my home in 97 with a 7.5 rate and later refi-ed to 5% 15 year. Problem is real estate is unaffordable because the prices have not corrected yet with the higher rates. I imagine a lot of your sales are all cash. What a great area to be a realtor in.

[@SuperMassman]

GREAT VIDEO ☝️😑 1st house need a lot of work, but it's directly on the beach, I'LL TAKE IT ☺️

[@joesbparker]

Yeah, that one’s got a lot of people tripping out because it needs so much work but like I mentioned it one of the comments you can’t get on Panera lane for under 10 million.

[@GoCatGo-lp5bq]

Regarding the 2nd house (the Hamptons house), my thought on the mirror above the kitchen sink: Lots of kitchen sinks have a window above them. I noticed the mirror had a reflection of the windows/outside in it -- the next best thing to having a window above the sink. Washing dishes can get rather boring, so it's nice to glance out a window occasionally.

[@joesbparker]

Good point, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@SirCarlosMusicBMI]

🎉🎉🎉 Hi Joe 👋🏼 I’m going to try and comment on each home. The first one just seems to be way overpriced for what it is. The views are absolutely amazing BUT the house is not reflecting the price. Nothing fancy at all. House #2 is so stunning and I love the east coast feel of it. So much amazing details involved in the entire house like all the beautiful tile work, Rich wood all over, The design alone is overwhelmingly gorgeous ! When you first enter the property it Blows my mind by how Grand it is. Lanscaping and placement of the different features outside are so stunning and perfect. Love all the fireplaces in the bedrooms, and those Columns are something that I’ve put in many of my homes. I could really see myself having coffee out off the master bedroom porch. Can you tell that I love this one? #3 houses I love the location and views But the actual house Just does not vibe with me, The tile work throughout seems very outdated to me and actually the entire house just feels old and ready for a total re-do. House #4 7.5mil on 5 acres????? Oh my gosh! I could move in to this home just the way it is today ❗️ I’ve been commenting as I go and I really thought that I loved the East Coast looking house but this one absolutely blows my mind. It has everything on my wish list and MORE! The view alone from the front of the house is overwhelming , just beautiful 🤩. But then it goes on and on. Being that it was built originally in the 30’s shows so much charm , I really love it that you can live in this area with only single pane glass windows. The Tile work is some of my favorite colors and is very stunning. From the floors to the courtyard are so perfect (and beyond my wildest dreams) and is something that I’ve only dreamed about. And the price compared to the other ones seems like a deal. If I had this home I would not be in any hurry of going to heaven (Well you know what I mean). This has been such a wonderful video today. Thank you SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS TO US. Blessings from Paso Robles, California, Carlos 🙏❤️🙂

[@joesbparker]

Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I agree with you. Mostly that was amazing the second home on Padaro but not really my style. I do appreciate all the elements you were pointing out though. Like you I do love that one up on Cravens, the 5 acre ranch with avocados and views very special. Like always appreciate your support.

[@oldwave6106]

Great… another Santa Barbara real estate agent. S. Padaro Lane. Nestled inches from the train tracks.

[@joesbparker]

Sounds like you’re not the biggest fan of real estate professionals? All good I feel the same way sometimes lol. The Lane the beachfront location where you can either choose to hear the breaking waves or the passing train.

[@oldwave6106]

@@joesbparker nah… sorry. I had a couple ex girlfriends that were agents. I’m sure it stems from that 😝

[@solarplexus4003]

That 5 acre Carpenteria property would be really good for someone into prepping.

[@joesbparker]

Absolutely that would be a dream to be able to hunker down there during the apocalypse

[@solarplexus4003]

@@joesbparker Zuckerberg and other rich are building bunkers. They must know something😁

[@solarplexus4003]

Can't believe the simple plywood construction of the beach house cost that much.

[@joesbparker]

Reminds me of the #1 rule in real estate.

[@roshellboudreaux6263]

Joe, I guess 12M is location, location, location because the homes 🏡 needed to be renovated, am I right?

[@joesbparker]

That’s right it’s impossible to get anything on the beach for under 10 million these days it seems like.

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

No doubt if I was wealthy Santa Barbara/Montecito would be my choice to live.....Big Sur also

[@joesbparker]

Yes, you can’t beat it Big Sur incredibly beautiful as well. Definitely a lot cooler and wetter in the winter months.

[@debrahalcrow1933]

Cravens a special property but would need a crew to maintain.

[@joesbparker]

Yes, that one had so many amazing nooks and crannies and features. It basically had everything you could be looking for in a home in my opinion.

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

Pretty obvious that stop #1 place for 12 million price was all about location

[@joesbparker]

100% can’t beat the beachfront location but still clearly not the right price probably sell for about 10.5 million

[@fauxbro]

You could rent the studio guest house for 3 grand/month in a day

[@joesbparker]

Amazingly, you’re probably right.

[@fauxbro]

Pronounced Podairo lane, dude

Gracias amigo

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

There's a reason why Oprah lives up there.

[@joesbparker]

For sure very beautiful setting to call home.

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

@@joesbparker I read Oprah was driving around Montecito and saw this property that she liked. It was not for sale. The owners were living in "the gate house" while the main house was being remodeled. Oprah just made them an offer they coudnt refuse....I think 28 million...probably worth 100 mil now

[@douglasthompson9482]

The second home is gorgeous but still overpriced. Maybe half the price.

[@joesbparker]

Make an offer

[@stonephilips9361]

Unbelievable, if you have 12mil don’t spend it on a house…. What are the property tax’s on this place. 1% 🤔 oh well what do I know.

[@joesbparker]

Yeah that’s right just over one percent annually. Appreciate you watching and cementing.

[@danielpriano9290]

The second house to me is by far more worth the money well appointed theother two look very dated and not very good finishes

[@joesbparker]

Agreed. Clearly the other two will probably be getting major renovations by the new owners.
