Oprah Winfrey just pulled off a jaw-dropping real estate flip in Montecito, selling a historic Spanish Revival ranch for $17.2 million—more than double what she paid in 2019. Locals are buzzing about what this means for the area, especially since the buyer’s identity is still a mystery (with rumors swirling about Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi). With Oprah’s sprawling estate portfolio, this sale could signal more changes ahead for Montecito’s luxury market. How do you think these mega-deals impact the vibe and community feel in our town? #RealEstate #Montecito #OprahWinfrey
