The Oxnard homes for sale trend for the 3rd quarter 2009 has shown a marked drop off from 2008 levels, but substantially higher than 2007.  Here are the spreadsheet numbers. But you’ll note the 1st and 2nd quarters were substantially higher than 2008. The drop in the 3rd quarter is a direct reflection of the fact that inventory levels are down, especially for the first time buyer. These numbers come from the Oxnard MLS.
