Private Park @ Hidden PinesHidden Pines is a lovely little gated community located in northwest Santa Maria. It boasts a private park and streets, and borders the Santa Maria Riverbed walking trail. The homes were built approximately 15 years ago and feature tile roofs and 2 car garages. The development is surrounded by other popular developments, Cherry Blossom Ranch, Essex at Willow Creek, and the gated community of Regency Estates. Hidden Pines offers convenient access to Highway 101 and is walking distance to Presiker Park. The association fee is about $65 – $75 per month. The last resale I found for the development was a bank owned 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1400 square foot home which sold for $200,000 on January 30, 2009.

The most exciting news about the La Ventana development in Santa Maria is the fact that it will soon be a gated community. I think this is a good decision and will improve the desirability of the neighborhood overall. There are many buyers looking for a gated community in the Santa Maria and Orcutt area, and the La Ventana community has a lot to offer: a beautiful community club house and pool, generous floor plans, gorgeous luxury town homes, and a convenient location near Marian Medical Center.
I know the media is saying that the real estate market is in the dumps. And I guess if you were hoping to get housing boom level prices for your home, it is. But if you are a Santa Maria or Ocutt home owner who needs to sell your home, you should know that the Santa Maria real estate market is hot! Why do I say that? Because homes that are priced in line with today's market that are not short sales, sell in less than a week. I feel as if this is a hidden secret of today's market place. Everyone believes that it is hard to sell your home right now, but even short sales that are well priced are receiving multile offers right now.
