Oxnard Shores, Ventura County, Summer 2026 | 📸 Joanne Carolan

Hello to friends old and new!

As you may remember, we’ve been in real estate for over 35 years here in Ventura County. While much of our earlier work focused on real estate investments, ten years ago we formed The Carolan Group (Jeff and Joanne) with RE/MAX Gold Coast and we moved across town to the Las Posas Estates in Camarillo where we are now the #1 Realtors in number of homes sold. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of families buy and sell homes throughout Ventura County and parts of LA County. If you or someone you care about ever have questions about the market or need a trusted real estate advisor, let us be the realtors you call!

Looking forward to staying connected,

Jeff & Joanne Carolan



West Ventura County Market Report

Sept 2025 to Sept 2026

Single family residences (not Condos): Camarillo, Oxnard, Ventura, Somis, Santa Paula, Fillmore, Ojai

Average Sales Price - $1,138,000

Average Days on the Market until Sold - 65

Average Days on Market previous 12 months - 61

Average $ per Sq Ft - $589/sq ft

Number of Transactions last 12 months - 2923



Currently properties are averaging 65 days on the market before they sell, which is significantly longer than historical averages. These conditions constitute a "balanced market" where neither buyers nor sellers have a distinct advantage, as opposed to the sellers market we have been in for the past 7 years. Even with interest rates currently above 7%, homes are still selling everyday. Interesting phenomenon... "Golden Handcuffs": many sellers feel locked into their current homes due to their low, pandemic-era interest rates and wrestle with the idea of selling/moving.

 

 

Number of Active Listings West County - 501

Listings in Escrow - 227
