Castaic Housing Market Update: Prices, Inventory, and Rates (March 3, 2026)
Castaic, CA – March 3, 2026 – Prices eased year over year, marketing times lengthened, and improving mortgage rates could help shape spring demand.
Castaic real estate remained active heading into spring, but the pace looked slower and more price-sensitive, with buyers taking more time and sellers leaning on sharper pricing and concessions.
Top takeaways
- Prices: Redfin shows a median closed sale price of about $820K in January 2026, down 13.7% year over year.
- Time to sell: Redfin reports 91 median days on market (January 2026), pointing to a more patient buyer pool.
- Supply & rents: Realtor.com shows roughly 103 homes for sale, a median list price around $814,500, and a median rent near $3,800.
- Rates: Freddie Mac’s average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 5.98% for the week ending February 26, 2026.
Market snapshot
Redfin reported 15 homes sold in January 2026 (up from 5 a year prior), yet the typical home still took about three months to sell. That mix can suggest that well-priced homes move, while aspirational pricing sits longer.
What to watch next
If rates hold near the high-5% range, more showings and offers may follow—especially for move-in-ready listings. Watch whether price reductions become more common, and whether homes are still closing close to asking.
