Arick Fuller. a mortgage broker with First Capital provided the following update today:
The conforming loan rate for Santa Barbara will be set to a maximum of $603,000, starting next week. That has been lowered from our current conforming rate of  $729,500, but is significantly higher than the conforming rate of $419,000, back in 2005. Rates are under 6% for owner occupied, and are at ~6% for non-owner occupied, a possible point may be paid. Full docs are needed. Take out the guess work on what you may qualify for. Call your lender and get your pre-approval.
