Compared to March 2025, the median sale price is 1.2% up (from $835,000 to $845,000). Sales volume is 4.1% down year-over-year.

What This Means

Ventura's housing market is showing some real spring momentum as we head into the traditionally stronger selling season. Sales jumped 34 percent month-over-month in March, with 71 homes changing hands compared to just 53 in February. That's a healthy seasonal uptick, though it's worth noting that year-over-year sales are still down 4.1 percent, suggesting the market hasn't fully recovered to where it was a year ago. The real story here is that median prices shot up 10.5 percent from February to March, landing at $845,000. That's a notable monthly jump, though the year-over-year increase is modest at just 1.2 percent, indicating we're not in a dramatic price surge.

What's particularly telling is how quickly homes are moving. The sale-to-list price ratio hit 98.4 percent, meaning sellers are getting nearly full asking price, and homes are averaging just 84 days on the market. This suggests genuine buyer interest and relatively balanced conditions. However, the active listings have climbed to 262 with a median asking price pushing toward a million dollars, which could signal some inventory building and potentially more negotiating room for savvy buyers in the coming months.
