“Amy Mosley, was an amazing experience from start to finish. She made what could have been a stressful home-buying process feel so much easier by guiding us every step of the way. As first-time homeowners, she took the time to explain all the home-buying basics, answered every question we had, and made sure we felt informed and confident throughout the process of buying our home in Lake Forest, CA. She was incredibly quick to respond whenever we reached out and always kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. When our escrow became unexpectedly long and challenging, she was a strong advocate for us, consistently looking out for our best interests, getting us the best terms and helping us navigate every obstacle. We truly couldn't have asked for a better agent. Her professionalism, knowledge, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference. We are so grateful for everything she did to help us get into our new home and would highly recommend her.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Montecito currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market even as conditions cool compared to prior years. A typical home value over the latest rolling three-month period is about $5.7 million, down more than 12% from a year ago, while median list prices are roughly flat year over year, suggesting sellers are adjusting but not dramatically cutting asking prices.
Behind that seller-leaning gauge, inventory and supply help explain the balance between buyers and sellers. Active listings are down about 14% from a year ago, and months of supply has dropped nearly 30% year over year to around five months, tightening options even as prices ease from earlier peaks.
Demand trends show a nuanced picture for buyers weighing opportunities in this high-end market. Homes sold over the rolling three months are slightly below last year, and the share selling above list price has fallen sharply from early 2023 levels, while the average sale-to-list ratio sits near 96%, reflecting more negotiation room for buyers. Whether you’re a buyer seeking value in a shifting luxury market or a seller aiming to position a property effectively, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands these dynamics and can guide your strategy.

Also, you don't just get Tony backing you up, you get his team. He's surrounded by professionals who are there to take care of you. From the working with his lender and all the services providers you need to complete the sale and hire for repairs afterwards, Tony has you covered. After the purchase of my home, Tony provided me with some amazing people to prepare our home for our move in. Painters, electricians, plumbers, just to name a few. They all work with Tony and take care of me as a valued client just like Tony did throughout this entire experience.

If you're looking for a realtor who is professional, trustworthy, hardworking, and truly has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend reaching out to Nicole. You'll be glad you did. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions. Finding Nicole was one of the best things that could have happened. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to take the time to explain things in detail. Even when I thought I had done all the research possible, she always had helpful insights and advice that made a big difference. What stood out most was her dedication. No matter when I reached out, she was quick to answer my questions and made me feel supported. It never felt like I was just another client; she truly cared about helping me find the right home.

Being older and recently widowed, she helped guide me into a place that would serve my needs for more years than what I had anticipated. A comfortable, affordable, community-minded environment.
