Oceano, California is home on the central coast of California 12 miles south of San Luis Obispo. This unique town is really still in the making with only around 7,000 residents. San Luis Obispo County has been ranked #6 on the top ten list of places to buy real estate in the United States.
With such a small community, you can expect to have that small village atmosphere with a quality of living that many are seeking. The beach is the hot spot for visitors as it is the only beach in California that still allows off road vehicles on the sandy dune beach. There are around 3,500 acres with 2,000 set aside as preserve. However, during the Snowy Plover nesting season, the riding area is reduced to around 1,100 as this is the nesting home to the endangered bird.
Oceano is a quite town except for all the fun everyone is enjoying on the beach. Homes in the area have gone down in price as the town its self needs a bit of tender loving care, which is now in the process. However, finding that perfect dream home while prices are low for the area is a dream come true. There is plenty of room to grow in Oceano for your family or your business.
The real estate market trend from July to September of 2007 was:
Two bedrooms – average sales price: $311,352; median sales price: $306,904
Three bedrooms – average sales price: $490,754; median sales price: $416,764
Four bedrooms – average sales price: $475,000
Some people do not think of Oceano as the most desirable town in which to call home, however, there is much going on in the way of renovation and remodeling. During the first quarter of 2006, there was a 24% appreciation in homes. The mild winters, awesome scenery, and great schools on the other hand is what is beckoning home buyers.
