$965,000Sold PriceOctober 2025Closed$10,000 under listvs List PriceThousand OaksMarketWhen 205 Larkhill St closed in October 2025 for $965,000, it marked another successful representation for the DB Real Estate Group in one of Thousand Oaks' most family-focused neighborhoods. This single-story home in the sought-after Summerfield neighborhood showcased precisely why discerning buyers continue to prioritize this market, even as inventory levels fluctuated throughout 2025.
The home presented beautifully from the moment potential buyers stepped inside. A bright and inviting floor plan filled with natural light, vaulted ceilings, and a seamless flow between the living spaces created an immediate sense of spaciousness throughout the 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and nearly 2,000 square feet of well-cared-for space . The property's appeal extended beyond the interior, with a spacious lot with oversized RV access, a generous side yard, and multiple outdoor areas to relax, entertain, or garden . This combination of move-in readiness and future potential proved exactly what buyers were seeking in this price range.
October 2025 represented a fascinating moment in the Thousand Oaks market cycle. The median sale price of homes was $1.1M, up 3.1% since the previous year , while homes were selling in around 43 days on the market compared to 34 days the year before . This slight softening in pace created opportunities for strategic pricing, which proved crucial for 205 Larkhill St. The sale at $965,000 positioned the home competitively within the broader market context, where the average homes were selling for about 1% below list price .
The Summerfield neighborhood continues to attract families drawn to Thousand Oaks' renowned quality of life. Thousand Oaks is known for its safety, high-quality school districts, and a diverse selection of neighborhoods that offer investment opportunities for various buyer types . The location provided the perfect balance of suburban tranquility and urban convenience, with the home being walkable to Trader Joe's, parks, The Oaks Mall, and countless dining and shopping options .
Within a few miles of Larkhill Street, residents enjoy access to some of Ventura County's most celebrated outdoor recreation. Paradise Falls drops 40 feet into a large pool along the Arroyo Conejo in Thousand Oaks , accessible via Wildwood Regional Park's 1,765 acres of sweeping grasslands, prominent ridges and peaks like Lizard Rock, and oak and sycamore-lined riparian canyon . For dining and entertainment, The Oaks features more than 100 specialty retailers, including Apple, Nordstrom, Zara, and dining options such as Wood Ranch, Plata Cocina Mexicana, The Cheesecake Factory, Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar, and Pedals & Pints Brewing Company . Mastro's Thousand Oaks, an OpenTable Diners' Choice winner for 2025, continues to be a top destination for unforgettable dining in the Conejo Valley .
This sale exemplified the importance of precise market positioning in October 2025's environment. With the listing priced at $975,000 and closing at $965,000, the strategy acknowledged the market's slight shift toward greater negotiation while still capturing strong value for the sellers. The buyer profile reflected typical Thousand Oaks demographics: families seeking top-ranked schools and the scenic beauty, excellent schools, and high quality of life that make Thousand Oaks one of the most desirable places to live in Ventura County . The property's condition, with newer windows and great bones in excellent condition , allowed buyers to envision both immediate livability and long-term customization potential.
