Thousand Oaks is a quiet bedroom enclave about forty five minutes northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Thousand Oaks homes sit on a beautiful plateau surrounded by rolling hills and scenic Southern California mountains. The municipality got its name from the numerous oak trees that grow in the area, and is the most populous portion of what is called the Conejo Valley.

The City of Thousand Oaks is only twelve miles inland from the Pacific Ocean and thirty nine miles west of L.A. The city was recently named one of Money Magazine’s Best Places to Live, which is a big honor, and has significantly boosted the desirability of Thousand Oaks homes.

Searching for Canadian real estate is a different experience than searching for real estate in the United States. If you are looking for Winnipeg real estate, for instance, you will find that up-to-date Winnipeg real estate listings are hard to find on the Internet. The best way to get the most accurate and current listings is to contact a Winnipeg real estate agent, because they have access to the most recent data.

Many agents do not like to link to live MLS listings in Canada, because broker reciprocity agreements place the listing broker’s contact information on the listing. This increases the likelihood that the listing agent would get the phone call from a potential buyer rather than the agent who linked to the MLS in the first place. The system is stacked in favor of listing agents, which just tends to discourage buyers’ agents from promoting listing agents’ properties.
