More Homes on the Market
Active listings surged 31.3% from last year, reaching 1,815 homes in Q4 2025. Buyers now have more choices and can secure homes that truly fit their lifestyles. Sellers must use strategic pricing and deliver standout marketing to attract attention in a busier market.
Sales Remain Strong
Closed sales increased slightly from last year, with 5,908 transactions completed—a 3.8% rise. Total closed volume climbed 4.2%, exceeding $12.6 billion. This shows that demand remains solid, and well-positioned, thoughtfully presented homes continue to sell.
Pace and Pricing
Homes averaged 47 days on the market in Q4 2025, compared to 40 days in Q4 2024. While homes stayed on the market slightly longer, the market moved quickly, especially in a desirable county like Ventura. The average sales price inched up to $1,072,758—a 0.4% rise from last year—demonstrating that values remain steady even as more listings emerge.
What This Means for 2026
As we move into the new year, strategic planning will be key. Buyers can take advantage of greater inventory and thoughtful negotiation strategies, while sellers who prepare their homes carefully and price them wisely can still secure strong offers.
