The report explores the unprecedented intergenerational wealth transfer of $84 trillion currently underway and how it may shape property markets. Locally, younger buyers are drawn to neighborhoods like Meiners Oaks in Ojai and Ventura Avenue in Ventura. These areas offer walkability, vibrant communities, health-conscious amenities, and charming architecture that make them particularly attractive to Gen X and Millennial buyers.
As trends indicate, high-net-worth individuals are in motion, with more than 135,000 poised to migrate internationally in 2025. Ventura hillside and Ojai proper are among the top local destinations for luxury buyers, particularly those relocating from Los Angeles. “Ventura’s appeal has grown tremendously since the pandemic, as it offers temperate weather, mountain views, and access to beautiful beaches—at a price point still accessible compared to other Southern California markets,” explains Larry Krogh, Managing Broker of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty’s Ventura office.
The 2025 Luxury Outlook also identifies prime global cities for investment and examines their impact on inventory and pricing. Here in Ventura County, areas like Santa Paula are emerging as strong investment opportunities due to planned developments and relatively low property prices, creating new frontiers for savvy investors.
