There are currently 337 residential properties on the market in the Ventura area. The average home has 3 bedrooms and 2.32 bathrooms, is 1665 square feet, has been on the market 135 days and is $588,319. The most expensive home on the market is a 10 bedroom beach home priced at $5,950,000 that came on the market last Fall of 2010.
