Ojai & Oak View Real Estate Market Trend 2012 - 02/29/12 02:23 PM
The data illustrated below shows the Ojai and Oak View Real Estate Market Trend inching its way up, with inching being the keyword here.  After the huge gains shown in 2006 & 2007, the Ojai and Oak View Real Estate Market suffered price depreciation like most of  the nation, but has weathered the storm well and I think that is because it is so desirable.
Interesting to note for the last 3 years the amount of Ojai and OakView Single Family Homes sold has been consistent and if  the numbers for January can be projected for the next 11 months, then 2012 may … (0 comments)

Oxnard Real Estate Market Trend for 2012 - 02/29/12 09:34 AM
The sold statistics illustrated below show Single Family Home prices for the city of Oxnard are showing signs of stability.  Oxnard was particularly hit hard when the real estate market fell apart.  You can see by the number of Oxnard Single Family Homes sold in 2005 and 2006 at the height of the subprime lending fiasco, that it would only be true that most if not all of these subprime loan purchased homes would fall back to the banks or third party investor flippers.
The Oxnard Homes that were purchased with subprime loans have washed through the system for the most … (4 comments)

Seabee Museum in Port Hueneme - 02/27/12 11:25 AM
My husband and I toured the new Seabee Museum in Port Hueneme last week.  It officially opened on July 22, 2011 and is a vast improvement of the old Museum that we visited back in 1995.  It is not completely finished, as it depends on contributions to continue with its development.
The Seabees  are the construction aspect of the military..their motto is "We build, we fight".  From the island hopping of World War II and the cold of Korea, to the jungles of Vietnam, to the mountains of Bosnia, and to the deserts of Afghanistan and Kuwait, the Seabees have built entire … (2 comments)

Thousand Oaks Real Estate Market Absorption Trend for January 2012 - 02/21/12 12:39 PM
The Thousand Oaks Real Estate Market Absorption Trend for Thousand Oaks illustrates that the average home price is in the mid-range range of home prices.
This mid range home price range does not have the buyer competition that the $50,000 to $350,000 price range does, so property does take a bit longer to sell and generally list prices have some wiggle room to move down. However, the data does show that while there is some wiggle room the average list to sales price stays consistently in the high 90% bracket.

The Camarillo Real Estate Market Aborption Trend January 2012 illustrates that the average sales price for the last 3 months is only 3.4% down from the average sales price of 2010.  And while that is not reason to raise the roof in celebration, it does show that prices are beginning to stabilize.

The higher price range may still be subject to price adjustments.
