The takeaway: Valencia homes sold for 99.6% of list price on average this summer, but about 36% of listings took a price cut first. Priced right on day one, you can still get full value. Priced high, you will likely chase the market down.
Valencia Home Prices by the Numbers
Here are the most recent public figures for Valencia, side by side with Santa Clarita as a whole. Redfin reports a rolling three-month window, which smooths out the month-to-month noise in a market this size.
| Metric (3 months ending Aug 2026) | Valencia | Santa Clarita (citywide) |
|---|---|---|
| Median sale price | $836,596 | $796,473 |
| Change vs. last year | −3.8% | −3.5% |
| Homes sold | 151 (−11.9% YoY) | 508 |
| Median days on market | 40 | 49 |
| Sale-to-list ratio | 99.6% | 99.2% |
| Sold above list price | 30.7% | 32.4% |
| Listings with a price drop | 35.9% | — |
| Median price per sq ft | $460 (+2.7% YoY) | $414 |

Zillow’s view lines up. Its Home Value Index put the typical Valencia home at about $806,500 as of August 31, 2026, down 1.1% over the year. Zillow’s median sale price for July was $827,000, with a sale-to-list ratio of exactly 1.000 and about 36% of homes selling over asking. Homes went pending in a median of 28 days, and there were 316 Valencia listings for sale at the end of August (Zillow Valencia home values).
Put together: a fair range for a typical Valencia home right now is about $805,000 to $840,000, depending on whose numbers you use. Prices are a few percent below last year, not falling off a cliff.
Why price per foot is up while prices are down
This one confuses a lot of homeowners. Valencia’s median price fell 3.8%, but the median price per square foot rose 2.7%. That usually means the mix of homes that sold shifted toward smaller homes, townhomes and condos, which always sell for more per foot. It does not mean your house gained value per foot. That’s exactly why I never price a home off a neighborhood average.
What Sold in Northpark This Summer
For a closer look, I track every closed sale in Northpark, one of Valencia’s larger neighborhoods. Between June 1 and August 31, 2026, 12 Northpark homes closed, from $705,000 to $1,160,000. The median was $928,000, and the homes averaged about $440 per square foot. You can see every address in my full Northpark home sales report.
| Northpark sales, Jun–Aug 2026 | Under 2,000 sq ft | 2,000 sq ft and up |
|---|---|---|
| Homes sold | 5 | 7 |
| Price range | $705,000 – $875,000 | $900,000 – $1,160,000 |
| Price per sq ft range | $429 – $541 | $378 – $476 |
| Median price per sq ft | $461 | $433 |

Two things jump out. First, smaller homes earned a clear premium per foot: a 1,423 sq ft home on Cabrillo Lane closed at $541 per foot in August, while a 2,937 sq ft home on Liana Lane closed at $378 in July. Second, the spread inside one neighborhood is huge. Which tract you are in, your lot, and your upgrades matter more than square footage alone.
Since summer ended, one more has closed: my seller’s home at 23322 Montecito Place sold on September 16 for $727,200, right where we priced it. As of September 29, six Northpark homes were for sale, asking $715,000 to $974,800, which works out to about $468 per square foot. That is roughly 6% above what Northpark homes actually closed at this year, so I expect some of those to adjust.
What This Means If You’re Selling in Valencia
1. Your first price matters more than ever
With about 36% of Valencia listings taking a price cut, the market is telling sellers clearly where the ceiling is. Homes that come out at the right number still sell close to full price and often with more than one offer. Homes that start high sit, and the longer they sit, the more buyers ask what is wrong. I walk through how I set a list price in my guide to pricing your home right.
2. Plan for about 40 days, not a weekend
A median of 40 days on market is actually faster than Santa Clarita overall (49 days), but it is not the instant sale many owners remember from a few years ago. Build that time into your plans, especially if you are buying your next home at the same time.
3. Fewer sales means fewer “perfect” comps
Valencia sales were down almost 12% from last year. With fewer closings, online estimates often lean on older or less similar sales. That is when a hand-built comparative analysis, using the actual homes that sold near you, makes the biggest difference.

My Take on the Valencia Market
Valencia is still one of the most in-demand parts of the Santa Clarita Valley, and buyers are still paying close to asking for homes that are priced and presented well. What has changed is the margin for error. If you are thinking about selling this fall or next spring, start with the real sales on your street, not last year’s headlines. I’m always happy to walk through those numbers with you, even if you are not ready to list.
