Buying and selling: what to know
If you want horses, confirm the zoning and lot rules for the specific property before you buy, since not every big lot is zoned for them. Hillside lots toward the Santa Susana Mountains can be in state-mapped fire hazard zones, so get an insurance quote early. Some buyers also ask about the former Santa Susana Field Laboratory in the hills to the west, where cleanup is still underway; review the disclosures and the state's current information during escrow.
For sellers, the first month matters most: homes that sold in their first 30 days averaged 99.9% of asking, and of the 234 listings that came off the market without selling, only 55 sold after being relisted.
