HEART OF THE HOME

EXEMPLARY SHOWHOUSE: Traditional Home magazine OUTDOOR DINING: After 20 years of providing consummate dining experiences in Santa Barbara’s fitting Mediterranean climate, this outdoor space was due for an upgrade.

Framed by new beams, lighting, and a taupe sunshade, the country kitchen features all-new plastered masonry cabinets, a cast-in-place waxed concrete countertop, Lynx outdoor appliances, and comfortable seating. Designed by Katie O’Reilly Rogers.

Built in one year, this Mission Revival harmoniously blends Eastern and Western influences and an indoor-outdoor fusion that maximizes ocean views through surrounding oak woodlands. Architecture

Pool renovations included adding a built-in spa, a concealed cover with hidden spool, and custom-poured concrete coping that’s grippy but not too abrasive. Inside, crews installed a sauna, a skylight, and further lightened the room with a waterproof plaster finish. New appliances and a flat-screen TV highlighted the outdoor living space.

t happens all the time, especially this time of year. As days run long and nights run cool, Santa Barbarans like to get outdoors. But that doesn’t necessarily require a weekend hike or beach day. Often, it simply means opening the slider to enjoy a late-afternoon cold one or a twilight dinner on the patio with friends and fam. Over the years at Giffin & Crane, we’ve helped countless homeowners take advantage of the pleasant views and temps Santa Barbara is famous for. Here’s a handful of some of our favorite outdoors spaces, with project background and design credits.

BLENDED: Creating a seamless connection from interior

transitional spaces to a private patio and stunning ocean view, the owners of this hillside renovation principally invested in a sliding glass pocket wall for the living room.

The top-hung panels are 12 feet high and 15 feet wide, opening to an upgraded backyard living space with landscape lighting and a flagstone pathway around the home. Ellen Bildsten headed up the architecture, interiors, and landscape design.

Giffin & Crane General Contractors, Inc. has been building custom homes in Santa Barbara since 1986.

Old Mission Holds Drinks at Dusk

O

n July 21, Old Mission Santa Barbara (Old Mission) held the third of four Drinks at Dusk in the Mission’s Secret Garden. These popular gatherings keep getting more so, with about 150 people turning out for this one. Guests got to mingle with Franciscan friars, Old Mission staff, and other community members in the enchanting garden, which is generally off-limits to the public, while enjoying wine, beer, and appetizers from various purveyors and live music by Ybarra Music.

According to Executive Director Monica Orozco, most people have some connection with the Old Mission, but often only from community events held out front. The event series is designed to help break the barrier between the Old Mission and the community, enabling the Old Mission’s staff and the Franciscan friars to meet with members of the community and form real relationships.

Founded in 1786, the nonprofit Old Mission is one of 21 California missions founded by the Spanish Franciscans and today is a major tourist destination, with nearly 250,000 visitors in 2019, the last year before the pandemic closure (it reopened in March 2021). It owns the 15-acre parcel and buildings and is home to a few other separate entities, including the Catholic church St. Barbara Parish, which dates from the 1920s and falls under the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

A community of Franciscan friars has resided at the Old Mission since its founding. About 17 friars presently call this home, but the number in residence frequently rises and falls as the friars’ ministries call them to service here and beyond.

Friars take vows of chastity, obedience, and poverty and minister to people’s spiritual and physical needs. A novitiate established in 2017 provides the first year of education for friars. A new class of three novices just began.

Another separate Franciscan-sponsored nonprofit, the Santa Barbara Mission Archive-Library, was established in the 1840s, and with the later acquisition of thousands of documents, a new wing was built to accommodate the large collection. It is currently closed for maintenance but will reopen within the next month.

The Old Mission is also home to a museum, gift shop, cemetery, and mausoleum. The Mission Rose Garden and adjoining parkland across the street were sold to the city in 1928 and form the Mission Historical Park. The Old Mission

hosts community events, including Fiesta Pequeña (August 3 this year) and I Madonnari along with its own events, which are gradually expanding. The final Drinks at Dusk for 2022 will be held on August 18.

The Old Mission receives no support from any government entity or from any part of the Catholic Church, other than below-market rental payments from St. Barbara Parish, but it is responsible for maintaining the historic buildings, collections, and grounds.

About half of the Old Mission’s annual revenue comes from its tours and another 35 percent from the gift shop and venue rentals. Before the pandemic, it realized it needed to launch a capital campaign for deferred maintenance projects that its annual revenue hadn’t been able to cover.

Then COVID forced the closure of its tour operations for an entire year and the gift shop for a few months. Venue rentals were initially shuttered by COVID and have yet to resume because of capital improvements. The lost income from these sources has made the capital campaign even more critical.

The campaign launched in September 2020 with a goal of $4 million: $1.5 million to cover the costs of the COVID closure and $2.5 million to address the most pressing capital needs. Funds already raised have enabled some roof replacement work. The campaign is $1.25 million shy of its goal.

The friars at the Old Mission provide invaluable service here and beyond. In 2019, in collaboration with the Daughters of Charity at St. Vincent’s, they established the Fr. Virgil Cordano Center, a welcoming place for homeless people to go during the day to rest, have meaningful connections with a caring staff and volunteers, receive meals, do their laundry, and avail themselves of other services. This column soon will feature a separate story on this center.

The friars serve at St. Barbara Parish, at the nearby Poor Clare Monastery, at St. Mark’s in Isla Vista, and as fill-in clergy for many local parishes. The friars also regularly visit patients at Cottage Hospital. Their ministries often take them to other locations, including St. Anthony’s Foundation in San Francisco and St. Francis Center in Los Angeles, which both offer meals and services to homeless people.

The friars also minister at churches serving native people in Arizona and at retreats and renewals at various institutions.

Q: Marsha, can you explain the state of home ownership and private property rights in California right now?

A: First, let me give background on the history of private property and real estate ownership in our country. Our modern concept of private property and real estate acquisition dates from the Industrial Revolution. Wealth was rapidly growing in the cities and a middle-class population developed. Agrarian estate owners had employed people who lived and worked on the owners’ land. During the 18th century, a lot of wealth and disposable income was created in the cities, and this burgeoning intermediate population began to demand their own homes. The bourgeoisie was born.

In 1769, Spanish habitants began settling in what we now know as California. At that time the land was still part of Mexico. After the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, Mexican citizens who owned land in California were granted patents by the U.S. government for their already established land rights. Any land not granted patents was considered U.S. government property. Today, our federal government owns close to 48 percent of California’s 100 million acres of total land. California is third in federal land ownership.

As far as home ownership statistics, California doesn’t have a good showing. California has a 56 percent home ownership rate as opposed to a 65 percent rate nationwide. The state with the largest home ownership is West Virginia, where nearly 80 percent of the state own real estate. Home ownership is part of the American dream, but it’s a lot more expensive and difficult in California.

Message From the President

I

What does it mean to own property?

As real estate has developed there is a “bundle of legal rights” that has become codified. These recognized and established rights are: The right of possession, right of control, right of exclusion (no trespassing), Real Estate Q&A the right to derive income, and the right of disposition (the right to sell). These property rights are recognized in our U.S. legal system.

Along with rights, landowners also have obligations.

One of the primary obligations is to keep their property free from hazards and danby Marsha Gray gers that could cause injuries.

This is a recognized obligation of ownership whether it’s residential, industrial, or commercial property. There is a constant tug of war between private interests of property and that of the public. Homeowners’ rights are curtailed by nuisance laws, zoning laws, property taxes, rental control laws, housing tracts with deed restrictions, and homeowner’s associations.

Real estate is never static. In a never-ending attempt to supply more housing, our California legislature passed the laws SB 9 and SB 10. As of January 2022, there is no longer any single-family residence zoning in California.

New California laws SB 9 and SB 10 allow multi-unit and multi-story buildings on single-family lots. SB 9, which

overrides local control of zoning, has aroused a lot of pushback. These laws are viewed as controversial by all sides of the political spectrum.

For all the back and forth over private property rights, home ownership is a strong positive factor for our state and country. Homeowners have an energetic “pride of ownership” that creates self-respect and satisfaction in neighborhoods, cities, and the overall environment.

HOW REAL ESTATE COMMISSIONS WORK

n order to understand how real estate commissions are paid, it’s necessary to first understand the tool used in the vast majority of all home purchases: a Multiple Listing Service.

Multiple Listing Services are essentially databases of all the homes for sale in a given market, maintained in most cases by local REALTOR® associations. Local REALTOR® associations also make most of this information publicly available for free, and each database often feeds home search sites.

When a seller lists a property on one of these local broker marketplaces with a listing broker, they get access to the largest pool of possible buyers that have been brought to the marketplace by buyer brokers. Meanwhile, buyers can work with any broker and see ALL homes for sale.

So where do commissions come in? Typically, the seller’s broker pays the buyer broker’s commission for finding a ready, willing and able buyer. This creates a larger pool of buyers for sellers and saves sellers time and money by working with an established group of brokers. For buyers, it saves them money at closing and enables the buyer to receive professional representation.

The practice of listing brokers paying buyer brokers enables efficiency, effectiveness and accessibility for firsttime, low- and middle-income and buyers of all walks of life. This practice also has been the driving force behind a thriving American real estate market. From 2010 to 2020, this approach to commissions: • Enabled 88% of homebuyers to purchase their home through a real estate broker • Contributed to an $8.2 trillion increase in total housing wealth • Helped 6.3 million more new buyers become homeowners

For the 90% of sellers who use a broker, outset and any time before the transaction closes. they sell for 30% more on average than homes Broker cooperation benefits consumers. sold off the local broker marketplace as for Broker cooperation in the commission process sale by owner. That means someone working leads to brokers sharing their inventory with with an agent could get $390,000 for their each other.
