Ventura County Housing Market Update: June 2026
Dated: July 30 2026
Views: 21
The Ventura County housing market continues to show a mix of limited inventory, shifting buyer activity, and significant differences from one community to another. Looking at June 2026 data across Ventura, Camarillo, Oxnard, Fillmore, and Ojai, it's clear that local market conditions can vary considerably depending on where you're looking.
Inventory Remains Limited
In June, the number of homes available for sale ranged from 16 homes in Fillmore to 96 in Ventura among the communities featured in this report.
Compared with the same time last year, inventory was down across all five areas:
- Ventura: 96 homes for sale, down 16.5% year over year
- Camarillo: 84 homes for sale, down 4.5%
- Oxnard: 80 homes for sale, down 18.4%
- Fillmore: 16 homes for sale, down 23.8%
- Ojai: 56 homes for sale, down 21.1%
The decrease in available homes means buyers may have fewer options to choose from, particularly in some of the smaller and more supply-constrained communities.
Home Prices Tell a Different Story From City to City
Median list prices also varied significantly throughout the county.
Ojai had the highest median list price at $2.497 million, followed by Oxnard at $1.687 million and Ventura at $1.320 million. Camarillo's median list price was $899,000, while Fillmore came in at $830,000.
These numbers highlight an important point for both buyers and sellers: Ventura County is not one single real estate market. Pricing, inventory, and buyer behavior can differ substantially from one city—and even one neighborhood—to the next.
How Long Are Homes Staying on the Market?
The median number of days active also varied considerably.
Camarillo had the shortest median at 62 days, followed by Oxnard at 65 days, Ventura at 69 days, Ojai at 70 days, and Fillmore at 97 days.
For sellers, these numbers reinforce the importance of pricing a property correctly from the beginning. In a market where buyers have more time to evaluate their options, presentation, condition, and pricing can all play an important role in attracting attention and ultimately getting a home sold.
What Does This Mean for Buyers and Sellers?
For buyers, the continued decline in inventory means that finding the right property may require patience and a well-defined strategy. Buyers who are prepared to act when the right home becomes available can put themselves in a stronger position.
For sellers, today's market emphasizes the importance of understanding hyper-local conditions. A pricing strategy that makes sense in one Ventura County community may not necessarily work in another.
The June numbers also demonstrate why simply looking at countywide statistics doesn't always tell the full story. Ventura, Camarillo, Oxnard, Fillmore, and Ojai each have their own unique market dynamics.
The Bottom Line
Ventura County's June 2026 housing market is characterized by declining year-over-year inventory, wide variations in home prices, and differences in how quickly properties are moving.
Whether you're considering buying, selling, or simply curious about what your home is worth, understanding the numbers specific to your community is more valuable than relying solely on broad market headlines.
