Real Estate Market

Ojai's real estate market is defined by scarcity, uniqueness, and strong values relative to the inland location. The market includes historic Spanish Colonial homes, equestrian properties, wellness retreat facilities, and small agricultural operations. Strict growth controls, including the preservation of the surrounding valley viewshed, severely limit new development. The town's reputation as a wellness and arts destination supports boutique hospitality investments. Commercial properties center on the downtown arcade and surrounding area.

Local Considerations

Extremely limited developable land and strict growth controls prevent new construction. Well and septic requirements impact many properties. The small market size limits liquidity for some property types. Wildfire risk and evacuation considerations affect hillside properties.

Investment Opportunities

Investment opportunities include historic home renovations, boutique hospitality concepts, and wellness-oriented commercial properties. The equestrian market supports specialized residential and commercial investments. Small-scale agricultural operations, including olive groves and citrus, offer lifestyle-plus-income potential. Creative adaptive reuse of unique properties can yield exceptional returns.
