Are you thinking about moving from Los Angeles to Ventura County? If you’ve been waiting for the right time to buy a home in Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, or surrounding areas, this spring might be your best opportunity. Why? More homes are hitting the market, and sellers are more open to negotiation—giving you better options and more leverage.
Let’s dive into what this means for you.
1. More Homes for Sale in Ventura County = More Choices for Buyers
For the first time in years, buyers aren’t facing extreme competition. The number of homes for sale in Ventura County and Simi Valley this February was the highest in the past five years.
What does this mean for you?
✅ More homes to choose from in Simi Valley, Moorpark, and Camarillo
✅ Less competition compared to previous years
✅ A better chance to find a home that fits your needs and budget
Experts predict that housing inventory in Southern California will continue to rise throughout 2025, making this a prime time for homebuyers to enter the market.
🏡 Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at Realtor.com, explains:
“Buyers will not only have more home options . . . but they are also likely to find somewhat lower asking prices and more time to make decisions – all buyer-friendly factors as we inch closer to the busy homebuying season.”
2. Sellers in Simi Valley and Ventura County Are Willing to Negotiate
With more homes available, some sellers are making price reductions to attract buyers. That’s a huge advantage if you’re planning to buy a home in Ventura County this year.
🔹 More negotiating power – You can ask for closing cost credits, repairs, or a lower price
🔹 Less pressure to rush your decision – Homes are staying on the market longer
🔹 Potential for a better deal – Especially on homes that have been listed for a while
Not every seller will drop their price, but buyers now have more leverage than they’ve had in years.
