great job, i was reading the irvine housing blog regularly but live in ventura county so nice to read about the local area here. do you cover the oak park area?

I can cover the Oak Park area. I am just a guy who is trying to learn more about real estate and figure out when is a good time to buy. I have no real expertise, but I hope to create a place for those of us in the Conejo Valley area to visit and discuss the local housing market. If you have anything you’d like me to post on, just let me know.

that’d be great if you could check out the sales in Oak Park, it doesn’t seem to me from checking the local Acorn newspaper and Redfin.com that prices there have gone down from their peaks, maybe you could uncover some. Thanks!
