Leslie posted her detailed statistics for Ventura, Oxnard and Camarillo yesterday and I was very curious to see if I could see any trends starting to emerge. With all the negative housing news in the media (nationally), I wanted to see what was going on in our neck of the woods.
What surprised me was the trending of number of homes sold over the past 12 months – trend lines are up strongly for all 3 cities.
As far as trending over the past 12 months for home prices, Camarillo has softened, but Ventura and Oxnard have remained flat, which isn’t bad all things considered.
Leslie has started showing the percentages of distressed sales (foreclosures and short sales) and it’ll be interesting to see how those change over time. It would appear lenders are beginning to get more aggressive in starting foreclosures so I wouldn’t be surprised to see those percentages begin to increase a bit over the next several months.

With the 4 wings all finished now on my Tiger Moth project, and after attending a huge airshow in Wisconsin this summer (EAA’s Oshkosh show), I got the crazy idea – could I power my Tiger Moth on electricity? How cool would that be?!? The short answer is no – because energy storage isn’t there yet.
But this past week, NASA (with Google sponsoring prize $$) had a competition under the CAFE (Comparative Aircraft Flight Efficiency) foundation with a top prize of $1,350,000 for the winner, to be announced on Monday (yesterday).
Because most of the aircraft were electric (or hybrid), I was very interested so Leslie (bless her!) and I went up over the weekend to see these e-airplanes. Who won?
