43 homes closed across the 8 Santa Clarita Valley cities in the last 7 days at a $850,000 median, $424.51 per foot.
Median days on market was 21. The average was 48.4. That gap is the whole story.
In the same 7 days, 21 other sellers pulled the plug. Every one of them had an agent. That was not the problem. Having the wrong kind of representation was.
Between April 12, 2026 and April 19, 2026, 43 residential homes closed across Valencia, Saugus, Canyon Country, Newhall, Stevenson Ranch, Castaic, Acton, and Agua Dulce. Single family, condo, and townhouse. The median sold price landed at $850,000. The average stretched to $868,077. Median price per square foot was $424.51. Average was $441.30. The highest sale was $1,680,000 in Stonegate, Valencia. The lowest was a $257,500 condo on Lyons Avenue in Valencia. One week. One valley. 43 wins and a story most agents will never show you.
Valencia carried the week. 17 of the 43 closings came out of the master-planned volume engine of SCV, at an $850,000 median and a 13-day median days on market. When Valencia is dialed, Valencia moves. Saugus followed with 9 closings at an $865,000 median and 22 median DOM, family-focused neighborhoods pulling strong mid-tier demand. Canyon Country matched the Saugus count at 9 closings with a higher $870,000 median, but the days on market stretched to 48 because the value tier of the Valley punishes pricing mistakes faster than any other area. Castaic closed 4 at a $792,000 median and 16 median DOM, water and space still pulling lifestyle buyers. Newhall posted 2 closings at a $487,500 median with a 64-day median DOM, the character-home entry point into SCV where patience is the rule. Stevenson Ranch put 1 premium closing on the board at $1,100,000 in 7 days, the premium tier moving fast when dialed in on a small inventory. Acton recorded 1 closing at $900,000 after 114 days on market, and with a sample size of 1 no seller should read that as a trend. Agua Dulce posted 0 closings this week. Horse property has a patient buyer pool, and one quiet week does not change what homes there are worth.

Median days on market on those 43 closings was 21. Average days on market was 48.4. That 27-day gap is not a rounding error. It is the entire story. Median is honest. Median tells you what the typical home did. Average is what happens when overpriced listings, neglected prep, and wrong marketing drag the math up and to the right. Homes that hit the market dialed in, priced to the comps, photographed like they mattered, marketed with intent, moved in roughly 3 weeks. Homes that did not sat. And while they sat, buyers saw the days on market climb and smelled blood. Every day past 21 is a day a buyer writes a lower offer. Correct pricing is not a theory. It is what the median is telling you every single week.
In the same 7 days that 43 sellers closed, 21 other sellers gave up. 4 expired. 11 were canceled. 6 were withdrawn. Valencia alone accounted for 10 of those 21. Saugus lost 4. Canyon Country lost 3. Stevenson Ranch lost 2. Castaic and Acton each lost 1. Newhall and Agua Dulce each lost 0. The part that should stop you is the top of that list. A $1,234,560 listing in Stevenson Ranch expired at 92 days on market. A $1,125,000 listing in Saugus withdrew at 87 days. A $1,100,000 Acton home canceled at 16 days. Another Stevenson Ranch listing expired at $1,050,000 and 89 DOM. Over $4 million in equity decisions went into the drawer this week. None of those homes sold. None of those sellers made the move they wanted. All of them paid their agent in time, energy, and the cost of a stalled life.
692 active residential listings sit across the 8 cities right now. 69 of those came on market in the last 7 days. At the current weekly pace of 43 closings, the valley is running a monthly absorption of roughly 186 homes, which puts us at 3.7 months of supply. That is still a seller-leaning market. Under 6 months of inventory is by definition sellers favored. But a favorable market does not carry a wrong strategy. 21 sellers just proved that in one week.
Here is the line we keep coming back to. Every one of those 21 sellers had an agent. They signed a listing agreement. They paid for photos. They put a sign in the yard. They let buyers walk through their home at inconvenient hours. And at the end of 87 days, 89 days, 92 days, they pulled the listing with nothing to show for it. Having an agent was not the problem. Having the wrong kind of representation was. Most agents in this valley represent buyers and sellers. Same brokerage, same agent, same week. They have to be neutral. They have to play both sides. When your listing gets an offer, nobody in that office is exclusively rooting for you to win.
We never represent buyers. Ever. No dual agency. No split priorities. No second client on the other side of the deal. When a buyer's agent calls us, they are negotiating against a team that only works for the seller. When an offer comes in, nobody on our side is quietly rooting for the buyer to win. Pricing strategy, prep, marketing, negotiation, net proceeds. That is the entire job. One client. One outcome. 27 years in this valley doing this one thing.
Valencia. Saugus. Canyon Country. Newhall. Stevenson Ranch. Castaic. Acton. Agua Dulce. If you own a home in any of those 8 cities and you are thinking about selling in the next 6 months, the conversation is free. Undivided loyalty, every day of the listing.
