Introduction: A Market on the Move
Welcome to the Santa Clarita real estate market update for July 2025! I’m Connor MacIvor, your first-responder-turned-realtor with over 25 years of experience as a licensed real estate agent (CALDRE 01238257) in the Santa Clarita Valley. With a background as an X-LAPD motor cop, firearms instructor, and drug recognition expert, I bring a no-nonsense, strategic approach to real estate. My mission is to guide you through the complexities of buying or selling a home with clarity, honesty, and a touch of Gen X humor. Whether you’re a buyer eyeing a dream home or a seller considering your options, this comprehensive guide will arm you with the knowledge to make informed decisions.
The Santa Clarita market is at a pivotal moment. As of July 22, 2025, we have 800 active listings, a significant jump from just a few weeks ago. Speculation around Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and potential changes to the Federal Funds Rate could push mortgage rates lower, potentially into the high threes or low fours. This could unleash a wave of activity, with sellers who’ve been holding onto low-rate mortgages finally listing and buyers jumping into a competitive market. Let’s break it all down—inventory, interest rates, buyer and seller strategies, and how to stay ahead in this fast-moving market.
The Current State of the Santa Clarita Real Estate Market
Inventory Breakdown: 800 Listings and Counting
As of July 22, 2025, the Santa Clarita Valley boasts 800 active listings, a notable increase from recent months. This surge signals a potential shift in market dynamics, but demand remains strong, with buyers quickly absorbing new properties. Here’s a snapshot of the last seven days of market activity, based on the latest data:
This data, sourced from the Santa Clarita real estate market as of July 22, 2025, shows a vibrant market with opportunities for both buyers and sellers. The 800 listings, while higher than recent months, are still low compared to historical norms, keeping buyer competition fierce.

Interest Rates: The Game-Changer on the Horizon
The Federal Funds Rate is making headlines, with speculation about Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s leadership and potential rate cuts. While not directly tied to mortgage rates, the Fed’s actions have a cousin-like connection. A drop in the Federal Funds Rate could push mortgage rates into the high threes or low fours, a range that would ignite the market. Here’s why:

Buyer Strategies: Navigating a Competitive Market
Why You Need a Buyer’s Agent in 2025
The real estate landscape has changed significantly, with new rules requiring written buyer-broker agreements before viewing homes. This ensures transparency and protects both parties. As a buyer, working with an experienced agent like me gives you an edge. Here’s how:
Key Considerations Before Signing a Buyer-Broker Agreement
Before committing to an agent, ensure they’re a member of the local board, like the Southland Regional Association of Realtors, for maximum market access. My post at https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/your-realtor-needs-to-be-a-member-of-our-local-board-to-market-effectively explains why this matters. Also, review the agreement carefully—understand the terms, commission structure, and duration. For a deep dive, visit https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/buying-a-home-key-considerations-before-signing-a-buyer-broker-agreement.
Timing Your Purchase
With rates potentially dropping, should you buy now or wait? Waiting could mean lower rates but fiercer competition. My advice: prepare now. Get pre-approved, avoid major credit purchases (see https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/why-you-should-not-make-any-major-credit-purchases), and work with a lender to understand your options. Explore lender types at https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/types-of-mortgage-lenders. If you’re ready to move, book a consultation at ZoomMeSCV.com to discuss your strategy.
Seller Strategies: Maximizing Your Home’s Value
Why Pricing Matters
Pricing your home too high is a common mistake that leads to expired or canceled listings. Of the 800 listings, 6 expired and 12 canceled this week, often due to overpricing or poor marketing. My post at https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/pricing-your-home-too-high-maybe-the-reason-its-not-selling explains how to avoid this pitfall. A free market analysis at https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/free-market-analysis can help you set a competitive price.
Presentation is Everything
In today’s digital age, your home’s online presence is critical. Listings with professional photos, 3D virtual tours, and enabled syndication features attract more buyers. I noticed a canceled listing recently that relied on cell phone photos—amateur visuals don’t cut it. Ensure your agent uses high-quality marketing tools, as discussed in https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/making-a-good-first-impression. All buttons—virtual tours, floor plans, and more—should be enabled on platforms like https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/active-listings.
Seller Concessions and Commissions
New commission rules allow flexibility, but offering competitive concessions can attract buyers. My guide at https://www.santaclaritaopenhouses.com/blog/seller-concessions-explained-a-first-responder-realtors-guide-to-selling breaks down how to structure offers.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Real Estate
As an AI influencer (check out my YouTube channel at youtube.com/@aiwithhonor), I’ve integrated AI into my real estate practice to enhance efficiency and accuracy. From analyzing market trends to predicting buyer behavior, AI tools provide a competitive edge.

Yes, I earn referral fees when you work with agents I recommend. But unlike national platforms like Zillow or Realtor.com, I personally know and vet every single agent in my network of 17 trusted professionals.
My recommendations are based on YOUR specific needs and the complexity of your situation—not who pays the highest referral fee. I live in Santa Clarita Valley, and my reputation in this community depends on your success. Local accountability matters.
