Forecast — Next 90 Days
Standard Granada Hills demand should remain stable through summer 2026. The June school-year-end migration window typically pulls 8-12% additional demand from buyers wanting closes before Fall semester. Insurance market improvements (some major carriers signaling return to new business) should reduce buyer-side friction modestly through Q3 2026.
