According to the Santa Maria Times, the Santa Maria Planning Commission approved the application for two new hotels to be placed on Roemer Court. The municipal code had to be modified to allow for the height of the structures. The plan is to build a Fairfield Marriott and a Candlewood Suites. The developer is aiming to attract tourists to the Fairfield, and business travellers to the Candlewood property. This will add 160 hotel rooms to our city.
The Nipomo real estate market remains healthy with 202 active listings. My last snapshot took place April 21, 2007, and at that time there were 206 homes on the market. Forty eight homes are under contract as pending or contingent, so the pipeline looks good too. In the past 30 days, 19 homes have sold, 16 listings have expired and 41 homes have been newly placed on the market. The most expensive new listing during that time is a multifamily property which sits on 40 acres and boasts a single family residence, a guest cottage, as well as two additional rentals. It is being offered at $1,750,000.
