ZIP 91355 Housing Market & Real Estate Update (February 24, 2026)

ZIP 91355 (Valencia as the primary USPS city, with Santa Clarita also used locally) in Los Angeles County is showing a slower, more buyer-friendly pace heading into late February, even as pricing remains high by national standards.

Top takeaways

Redfin shows January 2026 median sold price at $755,000, down 5.0% year over year, with homes taking longer to sell.
Realtor.com currently shows about 94 active homes for sale in 91355, with a median list price around $729,000.
National mortgage rates eased again: Freddie Mac puts the 30-year fixed average at 6.01% (week of Feb 19, 2026).

Market snapshot (latest available)

On the closed-sales side, Redfin’s ZIP-level tracker for January 2026 shows the median sale price at $755K (down 5.0% YoY) and $476 per square foot (down 3.3% YoY). Marketing time stretched: homes averaged 64 days on market versus 57 days a year earlier, and the number of homes sold fell to 61 (down from 78). Taken together, that points to softer demand and more negotiating room for buyers than last winter.

On the active-listings side, Realtor.com’s 91355 search currently shows 94 active properties, a median listing price of $729K, and an average of 62 days on market. If you are selling, the key right now is pricing to the newest comparable sales (not last spring’s peak comps) and being ready for inspection requests and repair credits.

Rates watch

Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey shows the 30-year fixed-rate average at 6.01% as of February 19, 2026, down from 6.09% the prior week. Even small rate moves matter in 91355: a tenth or two can change the monthly payment enough to widen (or shrink) the buyer pool for mid-$700Ks homes.

Development and zoning: quick local refresher

If you are thinking about adding an ADU, converting space, or doing a lot split, start with the City of Santa Clarita Planning tools and FAQs. The city’s housing-element update materials also explain how state housing requirements (RHNA) push cities to identify sites with zoning that can support additional housing; in metro counties like Los Angeles, state law uses a default density of 30 units per acre as a benchmark for lower-income site capacity.

What locals are shopping right now

Entry/mid-tier: condos and townhomes (often the payment-friendly way into Valencia-area ownership when rates are elevated).
Move-up: single-family homes around the current median list and median sold benchmarks (roughly the low-to-mid $700Ks range across portals).
Rentals: Realtor.com examples today include apartment options in the mid-$2,000s for many 1–2 bedroom units, with larger layouts higher.
