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!

Snapshot analysis of June statistics

Oxnard is the most telling for changes in June data. First, for single family homes sold in all home sizes, the Sold Price was higher than the List Price. For Oxnard condos, the List Price was higher than the Sold Price, BUT notice how much higher the average List Price jumped compared to previous months. Finally, as noted earlier, inventory levels have plunged in Oxnard. Ventura and Camarillo are approximately holding steady so far.

Los Angeles Times headline today about home prices

The LA Times main headline today, “Southland home prices looking up”, stated that median home value prices rose 6.4% in the Southland from May to June, and that fewer than half of those sales were foreclosures. Foreclosures continue at a high pace and the economy is only now starting to get back on its feet. See Leslie’s just posted focused statistics on home sales, homes that have gone into escrow (“Pendings”), and inventory levels for Ventura, Oxnard and Camarillo.
