The week in Ojai
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in Ojai, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The Ojai file →The largest reduction on the desk was 11849 Sulphur Mountain Road — down $525,000, from $4,475,000 to $3,950,000, listed by BHHS California Properties.
14 listings changed status: 7 active under contract, 4 pending, 3 sold. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
5 homes came to market, asking from $1,500,000 to $3,995,000.
That is the week, address by address. What any one of these rows means for a house on the same street is the question the file answers next.

NeighbourhoodDowntown / The Arcade
Glass magnate Edward Drummond Libbey financed architects Frank Mead and Richard Requa's 1916-17 Spanish Colonial Revival redesign of Nordhoff's Main Street into the Mission-style Arcade, pergola, and post office bell tower that still anchor Ojai Avenue; the town renamed itself Ojai the following spring.
