The Montecito market is not one market. It's three.
Developer buyers. Premium estate buyers. Financed middle-tier buyers. Each operates with different motivations, different timelines, and a completely different definition of value.

Two properties closed in one day at full list price. One sat 209 days and sold at a 10% discount.
Same market. Same two-week window. Completely different outcomes.
The Montecito market rewards clarity. It penalizes ambiguity.

Under the decisive leadership of @POTUS, this Department of Justice is delivering on his promise to improve American healthcare. This includes:
• Immediately rescheduling FDA-approved marijuana and state-licensed marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule IIl
• Ordering a new, expedited hearing with set deadlines, to fully reschedule marijuana
These actions will enable more targeted, rigorous research into marijuana's safety and efficacy, expanding patients' access to treatments and empowering doctors to make better-informed healthcare decisions.

Florida governor Ron DeSantis wants to end property taxes.
It would save households $3,400 per year, raise house prices $50,000 to $100,000.
