Welcome! Don and Leslie have been full time Realtors in Ventura County for over 30 years. It's been fun watching as "little" Victoria Avenue (and many other streets) have morphed into what they are today.
Just as our local communities have evolved, we've seriously considered for the past several years how we could someday "give back" and "finish well" - expressions that can mean a lot of things to different people.
As part of our research into opportunities for service, in early 2013 we contacted a Peace Corps recruiter who helped us start our journey. But our new path wasn't going to be as straight and easy as we thought! And so we began a transition into something completely different from the routines we've known for the past 30 years - and have begun a path that's leading into the exciting unknown. This will be our story!

For single family homes, the trend is mostly downward depending on the size of the home. The larger homes in Camarillo showed an increase in $/Sq.Ft. Condominiums in Oxnard also showed an increase in $/Sq.Ft. while Camarillo and Ventura were downward.

The May pending numbers are in for Camarillo, Ventura and Oxnard. Camarillo continues on about the same as in May 2007 but Oxnard continues to be white hot in homes that are in escrow! Ventura is seeing a fair spike in activity.
The National Association of Realtors came out with this statement today:
“PENDING HOME SALES UP 6.3 PERCENT IN APRIL
The number of pending sales contracts for existing homes rose 6.3 percent in April, according to the latest Pending Homes Sales Index from NAR. The Index rose to 88.2 in April, up from 83 in March.
’Pending sales contracts have picked up notably in areas undergoing significant price drops,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist “Bargain hunters have entered the market en masse, especially in areas that have experienced double-digit price declines, but it’s unclear if they are investors or owner-occupants.’”
