Across the 13 San Fernando Valley communities tracked here, 418 single-family homes closed in June 2026. Weighting every ZIP-level median by the number of sales behind it puts the midpoint of that market at $1,220,000, with a sales-weighted average of $1,357,215. Individual city medians run from $843,000 to $2,444,000.
Every citywide figure feeding this roll-up is Chicago Title’s CITY TOTAL row — an unweighted average of that city’s ZIP medians, not a sales-weighted median — and the regional midpoint here is sales-weighted across the ZIP medians precisely to avoid that distortion. Cities whose CITY TOTAL diverges more than 10% from their sales-weighted figure are withheld and publish their ZIP tables instead.
That midpoint is derived from 28 ZIP-level medians covering 418 closed sales. It is not a median of individual transactions, because the county report publishes ZIP and community medians rather than sale-level data — and it is deliberately not an average of the city medians, which would weight a one-sale community the same as an eighty-five-sale one. The city table below is the version that actually describes the market.

The communities that do not publish a median, and why
1 of the 13 do not carry a citywide median. Each one says why rather than showing a number that would not survive scrutiny.
- Northridge — 25 sales. No citywide median: The county report's city figure ($1,667,000) is an unweighted average of the ZIP medians and is distorted by a thin ZIP — 91326 at $3,363,000 on 1 sale(s). Sales-weighted, the city runs nearer $1,190,440. Publish the ZIP table, not one number.
How this figure is built
Thirteen west and central San Fernando Valley communities are tracked here. Lake Balboa sits inside ZIP 91406 and is reported with western Van Nuys rather than separately. Figures refresh in the first week of each month when the county reports roll. The rules applied here are the same ones applied on every city page: twelve sales is the floor below which no median is published, a citywide row whose unweighted average diverges from the sales-weighted figure by ten percent or more is withheld in favour of the ZIP table, and multi-ZIP communities publish the table rather than a blended number.

If you are buying in the west and central San Fernando Valley
The regional midpoint is a budgeting anchor, not a pricing tool. Practically, LAUSD attendance is address-based and boundaries shift; hillside parcels south of Ventura Boulevard carry fire-zone and insurance exposure that flat-lot streets do not. Shop by commute and district first, then by community, then check the ZIP-level figure on that community’s guide before you write — the citywide number is an average of markets that often do not trade alike. The buyer guide covers the offer sequence.
If you are selling in the west and central San Fernando Valley
Price from closed comparables in your own tract from the last 90 days, adjusted for condition and lot — not from this page’s midpoint and not from a portal estimate. In this region specifically, the Valley rewards buying the ZIP and the side of the boulevard rather than the city name — several communities here spread 30–90% between their own ZIPs. The seller guide covers the sequence, and a tract-level CMA is the tool for the actual number.

Why do some the San Fernando Valley communities publish no median?
