If listed today, this home could sell by November 5, 2025

The property at 1259 Dover Ln is well-positioned in the current Santa Barbara market, offering 3 beds, 2 baths, and 1,277 sqft, with panoramic views in the desirable Riviera neighborhood. Recent comps show similar homes (3 beds, ~1,200–1,300 sqft) selling between $2.07M and $2.18M at $1,620–$1,825/sqft. This property’s last sale price of $1.9M and $1,488/sqft is below market average, suggesting immediate value. Median days to close for comps is under 15 days, reflecting brisk demand despite a slight increase in inventory.

For optimal results, price the property at $2.05M–$2.15M to align with recent sales and maximize perceived value. Minor cosmetic upgrades (landscaping, paint, staging) will further differentiate it. List during late summer or early fall, when buyer activity remains high. Emphasize panoramic views and Riviera location in marketing to attract relocation and lifestyle-driven buyers. Expect a 2–3 week time-to-close if priced competitively. If urgency is needed, offer pre-inspections and flexible closing to reduce buyer hesitation.
