TL;DR
The Santa Clarita Valley residential real estate market is buzzing with activity as of September 23, 2025. Over the past 7 days, we’ve seen 4 coming soon listings, 73 new listings, 76 price changes, 25 back on market, 33 active under contract, 54 pending, 53 closed, 12 expired, 19 hold, 10 canceled, and 14 withdrawn. Active inventory stands at 722, with average list prices varying widely by status and price bracket. This data points to a dynamic market with opportunities for buyers in lower price ranges and challenges for sellers facing competition. As a seasoned Realtor (CALDRE 01238257) with roots in LAPD and a passion for no-BS advice, I’m breaking it all down – plus how AI tools can supercharge your strategy.

Diving Into the Santa Clarita Valley Market Pulse
Look, I’ve been pounding the pavement in Santa Clarita real estate for years – from the days when open houses meant actual foot traffic to now, where AI-driven searches make everything faster but no less cutthroat. Today’s data dump from the MLS is a goldmine for anyone serious about buying or selling in the SCV. We’re talking residential properties only, sliced by status over the last 7 days. If you’re eyeing a move to Canyon Country, Castaic, Newhall, Saugus, Stevenson Ranch, or Valencia, this is your wake-up call.
First off, let’s address the elephant in the room: inventory is climbing. With 722 active listings, that’s a healthy supply compared to tighter markets we’ve seen in the past. But don’t get too excited – or panicked – without the details. I’ll walk you through each status category, price breakdowns, and what it means for you. And yeah, I’ll sprinkle in some sarcasm because, let’s face it, real estate can be as predictable as LA traffic.
As someone who’s walked the walk – from LAPD streets to AI frontiers – I’m here to share real insights without the fluff. If you’re new to this, check out our glossary at https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/real-estate-glossary for terms like “active under contract” that might trip you up.
Coming Soon: The Teasers That Build Hype
Starting with the “coming soon” category – these are the properties gearing up for the spotlight. We’ve got 4 (or 5, depending on how you count the data snapshot) in this bucket. Why the discrepancy? MLS updates in real-time, folks. But let’s use the detailed stats.
In the $600k-$700k range: One property at $699,999. It’s a 4-bed, 2-bath from 1963, 1,402 sqft. Average $/sqft? $499. That’s solid for entry-level buyers looking for a fixer-upper in a market where everything under $700k moves fast.
Jump to $800k-$900k: Three properties averaging $884,300. Sizes range from 1,637 to 2,756 sqft, built between 1973 and 2021. The high end here screams new construction appeal – think modern amenities without the wait. One’s on a massive 158,945 sqft lot, perfect for horse lovers or those dreaming of a backyard oasis.
Then there’s the lone $1.2M entry: 4-bed, 3-bath, 1989 build, 2,584 sqft at $464/sqft. Overall for coming soon? Average list price $910,580, all 4 beds, mostly 3 baths, averaging 1990 build year.
What does this mean? Sellers are testing the waters with premium pricing in higher brackets. If you’re a buyer, sign up for alerts at https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/dream-home-finder to snag these before they hit active. For sellers, this is your cue to price aggressively – overprice and you’ll join the withdrawn pile.
Active Listings: The Heart of the Hunt
Ah, the active listings – 722 strong. This is where the action is, and boy, is it segmented by price. Let’s break it down, because ignoring these brackets is like showing up to an open house without pre-approval: pointless.
Under $300k: 9 listings, average $281,156. Mostly 2-bed, 2-bath condos or small homes from 1987, averaging 1,201 sqft at $281/sqft. Days on market (DOM) average 78 – that’s stagnation. Why? These are often investor flips or entry-level spots in high-demand areas like Valencia. If you’re a first-timer, this is your sweet spot, but expect competition from cash buyers.
$300k-$400k: 37 properties, avg $357,176. DOM 88, sizes up to 1,792 sqft. Here’s where you see variety – from 1963 builds to 2002. Average $/sqft $379. Pro tip: Use our advanced search at https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/advanced-search to filter by year built if you’re avoiding mid-century surprises.
$400k-$500k: 49 listings, avg $453,658, DOM 78. This bracket’s hot for young families – 2-bed averages, but up to 3/3 configs. New 2024 builds popping up, hinting at developer activity in areas like Saugus.
$500k-$600k: 64 strong, avg $557,473, lower DOM at 56. Better movement here, with builds up to 2025. If you’re upsizing, focus on Valencia or Stevenson Ranch – lots average 257,878 sqft, plenty of room for that pool you’ve been dreaming about.
And it goes on – higher brackets show luxury creeping in. For the full scoop, $1M+ active listings are where estates shine, with averages pushing $1.5M+ in some sub-areas. Total active sum? Massive, but the key is turnover. Compared to July 2025 data (from our archived sitemap at https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/blog, where we noted tighter inventory), this September surge suggests cooling rates might be sparking more listings.
Sellers, if your home’s lingering, consider a price tweak. Buyers, get pre-approved via our mortgage rates page at https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/mortgage-rates – rates are volatile, and locking in now could save thousands.
New Listings: Fresh Blood in the Market
73 new listings in 7 days? That’s a flood, people. This indicates sellers are confident – or desperate – to list before potential rate hikes. Break it down by city: Heavy in Canyon Country and Valencia, lighter in Acton.
From the data, new entries span all prices, but mid-range ($500k-$800k) dominates. Average DOM starts at 0, obviously, but watch these – quick sales here mean buyer demand is alive.
As an ex-LAPD guy, I treat new listings like fresh leads: Vet them fast. Head to https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/active-listings for the latest, or better yet, schedule a viewing through me at 661-888-4983.
Price Changes: The Market’s Mood Swings
76 price changes – mostly drops, I’d bet. In a week? That’s sellers blinking first. Data shows adjustments across brackets, with higher-end properties slashing more to move.
Why? Overpricing is the killer. I see it all the time: Homeowners think their ‘unique’ kitchen warrants a premium, but buyers compare comps ruthlessly. Check our free market analysis at https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/free-market-analysis to avoid this trap.
Sarcasm alert: If you want your listing to gather dust, ignore comps. Otherwise, price it right from day one.
Back on Market: Second Chances or Red Flags?
25 back on market. These are deals that fell through – inspections, financing, cold feet. Average DOM jumps here, signaling issues.
Buyers: These can be steals if you dig into why they returned. Sellers: Fix those inspection hits before relisting. Link to our inspection importance post at https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/importance-of-inspection for more.
Active Under Contract and Pending: Deals in Motion
33 active under contract, 54 pending. That’s 87 properties inching toward close. DOM averages lower here – quick contingencies mean strong offers.
If you’re selling, this is encouraging: Buyers are committing. For buyers, act fast on actives before they flip to this status. Explore pending trends in our blog at https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/blog.
Closed Sales: The Wins That Matter
53 closed in 7 days. Average close prices? From data, mid-range dominates, with SP/LP% hovering near 98-100%. That’s healthy – no massive concessions.
Breakdown: Lower brackets close faster, higher ones take longer DOM. Total sum of closes? Indicates steady absorption. Compared to July (from sitemap archives), closes are up, suggesting summer slowdown’s over.
Celebrate these? Absolutely. If you’re my client, expect the same smooth close – testimonials at https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/testimonials prove it.
Expired, Hold, Canceled, Withdrawn: The Market’s Casualties
12 expired, 19 hold, 10 canceled, 14 withdrawn. That’s 55 listings off the board without selling. Reasons? Pricing, condition, life changes.
Expireds: Often relist higher or lower – don’t let yours expire; adjust. Holds: Temporary pauses, maybe for repairs. Canceled/withdrawn: Seller pulls plug.
Lesson: Market timing matters. If selling, consult early via https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/contact.
Price Bracket Deep Dive: From Bargains to Ballers
Let’s zoom in on brackets across statuses.
Under $500k: Active heavy (95 total), but closes lag. Affordable housing crunch – great for investors eyeing flips in Newhall or Castaic.
$500k-$1M: Bulk of activity (hundreds active), strong closes. Family homes in Valencia thrive here.
$1M+: Luxury segment – fewer but pricier. DOM higher, lots bigger. If you’re in this league, our relocation guide at https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/relocation-1 helps out-of-towners.
Trends: $/sqft rises with price, but value per square foot peaks mid-range. Builds? Newer in higher brackets, older below $400k.
