Mortgage Broker Madness “I
have lots of good friends who have walked away from the business. Got to be too hard.” Miners? Bomb defusers? NFL quarterbacks? Nope. Mortgage brokers. The speaker was himself a Santa Barbara mortgage broker, who requested anonymity. Like everyone who’s not stuck in a mine knows, the easy-money days leading up to 2008 are long gone. In their wake are higher hurdles and tighter restrictions aimed at preventing a return of the meltdown. That was certainly the case for my friends who recently bought a house in San Roque. They had great numbers and sought a loan from the same bank with whom they’d had a mortgage for 30 years, never missing a payment. How’d it go?“They put us through the wringer,” they said. “How Difficult Is It To Get A Mortgage Nowadays?” says a big headline on the Financial Samurai blog of Sam Dogen of San Francisco. “Brutally Difficult And Extremely Painful,” he answers his own question. He then goes through the agonies he faced, despite being a retired Wall Streeter with a healthy income and assets, healthy deferred income, a spotless record of past mortgage payments, etc. In the midst of all that comes this wounded cry:“SHOOT ME NOW!!!!” Ask the question a few hours south of Sam, here in Santa Barbara, and you might get a different response. Tougher than ever to get a mortgage? “Not necessarily,” said Lori Murray, vice president and mortgage lending officer at American Riviera Bank. “We’re doing a lot of loans—great volume.” It can be “more challenging” these days for those who write off significant amounts of income, but for those who show steady paychecks, “the requirements aren’t a lot tougher than pre-2008.”
Murray created the mortgage department at American Riviera three and a half years ago, well after the 2008 crunch, but she’s been in the industry for 25 years. “I’ve been through the ups and downs,” she said. “When I started, the interest rate was 19 percent. Today it’s a lot like making loans in the 1990s and early 2000s.” What’s new and tricky are the TILARESPA Integrated Disclosure (TRID) rules and forms, prompted by the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial law. TRID went into effect on October 3 with a goal of simplifying the mortgage process, but it is causing confusion. “It’s a whole new can of worms,” said Murray. “There will be some delays until the industry gets used to it.” So we have a split so far: one side in mortgage hell, the other not so much. To break the tie, I called in Harlan Green, owner/broker of Bankers Pacific Mortgage in Santa Barbara and, yes, a money/ mortgage columnist. “Not that bad,” was his verdict. Yes, 2008’s credit bubble burst did create “a lot more rules and regs, what you’d call an overreaction to a horrible event.” So now borrowers have to have more ducks in nice, neat rows. But overall, “A plain vanilla loan should be easy.” Even so, lenders can be picky in the new era.“Some want to cherry-pick—720 or better on credit score,” Green said.“But it can go down to 620 for FHA, and they’re really cheap, with a 3.25 rebate — large enough to pay for mortgage insurance.” So the decision leans toward the sunnier side of the mortgage street, at least here in Santa Barbara, except for my friends up in paragraph five. If in doubt, visit a mortgage broker. “It’s still the basic stuff: Verify income, credit, and assets,” Green said. “If it looks good, great—on to the next.” n

his generously propor-
tioned Victorian-style residence was built in approximately 1875 and owned by Wheeler W. Pierce, a gentleman farmer. Little is known about him or his family, other than in 1882, the city assessment records show Pierce owned $50 worth of furniture, a $50 wagon, and $135 in livestock, including a horse, colt, and cow. The cash value of his real estate was placed at $450, with improvements valued at $600. Of all the grand homes in Santa Barbara to survive since the 1870s, this is one of the very few that was built in excess of 3,500 square feet, spread across a flat, usable corner lot. The majority of the home’s asymmetrical exterior is designed in period siding of the 1870s, known as shiplap vernacular. This horizontal wood veneer covers the base frame of the home, while the eaves, porches, and rooflines are festooned with varying degrees of decorative tracery and spindlework at virtually every corner, turn, and projection along the façade. The Pierce family owned the house for nearly 70 years, and the current residents have enjoyed the property for more than 40 years.
Original Owner: Wheeler W. Pierce Year of Construction: 1875 Architect: Unknown Based on information from, among other sources, Survivors; Santa Barbara’s Last Victorians, a publication of the Santa Barbara Historical Museum.

by Dennis Allen Ideally the fan switch has a timer or thermostatic-control element for automatic shutoff. Most people who have whole-house fans keep their windows closed from early morning until evening so that cool air inside the house doesn’t escape. Whole-house fans are most effective in dry climates with cool nights, exactly what we enjoy here on the South Coast. Because they can depressurize a home, an installer must make certain that, if there is an atmospherically vented furnace or water heater in the house, there is no risk of backdrafting—a serious safety issue. These fans create a big hole in the ceiling, which will leak a lot of heat in winter unless properly sealed. The best solution is to buy a unit with motorized insulated doors. Tamarack Technologies makes the best fans with tight sealing doors. They range in price from $600-$800. This brand’s fans also tend to use less energy and are quieter than other brands.

T
he warmer weather we’re experiencing in Santa Barbara this year, with new record highs almost every month, is making many think about how to stay cool in our homes. Usually the first thought is to get air conditioning. Another option worth considering is the whole-house fan. This attic-mounted fan exhausts air at night, specifically to cool the house when the heat of the day has passed and the outdoor temperature has dropped enough to feel comfortable — below 75 degrees or, better yet, below 70. The main advantage of a wholehouse fan over an air conditioner is the energy savings; the fan draws just 10 to 15 percent of the power used by a central air conditioner. (Whole-house fans are intended to be used in homes that are not air-conditioned.) Whole-house fans also cost a fraction of typical air conditioners and are less disruptive to install in an existing home. In most cases, a whole-house fan is mounted in the attic floor over a central hallway. Once the outdoor air temperature cools down in the evening, the homeowner opens a few downstairs windows (be sure to have the fireplace damper closed) and turns on the fan. The fan pulls air from the hallway and blows it into the attic, and then outside through attic vents. Since whole-house fans are relatively powerful, they quickly exhaust the hot indoor air, often in as little as an hour, allowing cooler outdoor air to enter through the open windows. Once the house has cooled off, the fan can be turned off and the windows closed.
our water meter is an important conservation tool. It not only measures the amount of water you use, but it can also show you if there is a leak on your property. The City of Santa Barbara has posted a YouTube video (go to youtu.be/elU2QCjCPqg youtu.be/elU2QCjCPqg) that shows you how to read your water meter. — Madeline Ward, City of Santa Barbara

many bedrooms, artfully disguised behind a mirrored doorway. If one has to leave the house, this closet would make prep time enjoyable, too. Continuing through the upper level, a gleaming kitchen leads to an equally enchanting dining room, and I believe there are two fireplaces. I have to admit, however, that I didn’t pay as much attention to the details of the house as I should have. It’s beautiful; I simply kept getting sucked out to that view. The living room has vaulted ceilings and two balconies, which both overlook the pool, distracting me once again. There are trellised patios that feel like sitting rooms off of both the upper and lower levels, focusing on the freshwater pool and spa, complete with a cabana and an outdoor fireplace. It looks and feels like a luxury resort. Coffee in the morning as you watch the dolphins or wine in the evening as the sun goes down would be daily delights from this private mountaintop perch.
I had to tear myself away from this home and its view because it was time to take Scout for a walk. Luckily for Scout, I’m not in the market right now, so we’ll keep enjoying the beach up close and personal, which already feels like a dream every day. But if I woke up to this view laid out before me in a picture-perfect expanse, I certainly wouldn’t complain. 1211 Harbor Hills Drive is currently for sale in Santa Barbara, listed by Kellie Roche and Randy Freed of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. Reach Kellie at 705-5334 or Randy at 895-1799.

the channel, and a huge expanse of coastline encompassing all of Santa Barbara and beyond in both directions. Not quite 360 degrees but well over 180, it’s simply breathtaking. I think my jaw literally dropped. The house is perfectly perched on its lot, with nothing obstructing the awesome vista, which promises sunrises, sunsets, and everything in between. I walked out the French doors from the living room to the balcony and found myself standing on what I knew would be my favorite part of the house: a romantic curving stairway that leads from the upstairs patio down to the pool, with the view as the backdrop every step of the way. I could have remained outside the entire day, but it was the house itself that I had come to see. Back inside, I toured through the lower level first. It holds three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a family room. I thought I was walking through the master bedroom suite when I saw the beautiful tub in one of the bathrooms downstairs, but the actual master-bedroom suite upstairs made me realize my error when I saw its bathroom with a huge sunken marble tub and dual-head shower. The gorgeous master bedroom has plantation-shuttered windows along one entire wall to take full advantage of the spectacular view and a walk-in closet bigger than

’m a beach walker. My dog, Scout, is the lucky recipient of, and my primary excuse for, a couple of long walks on the beach just about every day. Hendry’s and the harbor are my usual haunts, but I’ll drive to Haskell’s or Hammonds if I have the time. My friends joke that they don’t need to move from their couches — they can enjoy Santa Barbara sunsets and scenery just by following my Instagram feed. My first thought when I pulled up to 1211 Harbor Hills Drive and saw the view was, “Wow. If I lived here, I wouldn’t ever need to leave home again.” This beautiful Mediterranean home is located at the end of a cul-de-sac on the side of a hill at the top of the Mesa. As I parked my car, I enjoyed a sneak preview of the view before I even went into the house. Once through the front door, I realized that the street view paled in comparison to what awaited me from within. My attention was drawn straight through the living room to the panoramic view of the islands,

riviera Rising out of Santa Barbara’s Eastside is this neighborhood that gives the region its “American Riviera” tagline. An undulating series of ridges covered in houses with the best views in the world, the Riviera is almost entirely residential, save for the legendary, and recently remodeled, El Encanto hotel and restaurant and the office complex that surrounds the Riviera Theatre. Because of the city and ocean views, the properties tend to be costly and rise in price with their elevation, but a number of houses requiring TLC hit the market each year and can spell a great deal.
Area highlights
retired couples, and those willing to pay extra money for outstanding views. Market: Single-family homes, often with
grannie units, usually with views from the deck that go forever.
Lifestyle: For those who love looking at
the twinkling lights of a cityscape but don’t necessarily want to live in the heart of it. Fourth of July, enjoying the sunset from
Perfect For: Those who appreciate the
value of views over lot size.
Around the Area Rising out of Santa Barbara’s flatter Eastside neighborhood, the Riviera is a mostly residential ridge that stretches from the Santa Barbara Mission down to Sycamore Canyon. There is one commercial hub, home to an office park, the Riviera Theatre, and the legendary and recently remodeled El Encanto hotel and restaurant. Once Santa Barbara’s streetcar held tightly to cables that ran the length of Alameda Padre Serra, and there are still many tiny stairways that connect this neighborhood. The view is the Riviera’s main attraction, and most homes feature a deck that overlooks the Channel Islands, Pacific Ocean, and cityscape of Santa Barbara, from the shoreline all the way to Hope Ranch. Property lots tend to be tight and steep, but the homes are designed—some by world-class architects—to emphasize the views. The prices tend to get higher as you climb in
