Ojai Market Snapshot: What’s Driving the 2025 Housing Trends?
As we move through 2025, Ojai’s real estate market is showing signs of cooling — but with opportunities for the well-prepared buyer or seller.
According to the latest data, the median sale price in Ojai has dropped 10.2% year-over-year, currently sitting at $1.2M. Homes are selling faster, with median days on market down to 18 days, a 25% decrease from last year. However, only 9 homes sold in May, down from 14 a year prior — a 35.7% drop in closed sales.
What’s Causing the Shift?
Rising Interest Rates: Higher borrowing costs have reduced buyer purchasing power.
Low Inventory: Ojai remains desirable, but fewer listings are available, leading to selective activity.
Lifestyle Buyers Waiting: Many second-home buyers are taking a “wait and see” approach, especially with economic uncertainty.
What This Means for You
Buyers: With less competition and longer listing times, this could be your chance to negotiate more favorable terms.
Sellers: Pricing strategically and preparing your home for market are more important than ever.
Ojai remains a unique, high-demand market — but success today requires smart timing and expert guidance.
