This is the Chatsworth Q2 2026 quarterly market data page - May 2026 snapshot of price, days on market, list-to-sale, inventory, and closed sales, broken out by sub-neighborhood and price band. I am Brian Cooper, REALTOR at eXp Realty (DRE# 01434286). Chatsworth sits at the northwest corner of the San Fernando Valley, with a distinctive mix of tract homes, hillside view lots, and equestrian-zoned acreage in the Indian Springs and Stoney Point areas. The data below covers ZIP 91311 - the City of Los Angeles portion of Chatsworth.
Headline numbers (Q2 2026)
May 2026 snapshot for the Chatsworth detached single-family market. Pulled from Combined LA County MLS on the first business day of the month. ZIP 91311. Single-family detached only; condos and townhomes are tracked separately. Equestrian-zoned parcels in the Indian Springs and Stoney Point areas are included in the sub-area breakdown but flagged separately due to their distinct comp dynamics.
The $1.05M median is up 3.4% year-over-year - tracking the broader San Fernando Valley appreciation curve. DOM at 24 days and LTS at 98.8% put Chatsworth in a tight seller's market. Inventory is up 20% year-over-year but Q2 absorption stays brisk through July, particularly in the family-buyer Chatsworth Park and Twin Lakes neighborhoods.
| Metric | May 2026 value | vs May 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Median sale price (SFR) | $1,050,000 | +3.4% |
| Median days on market | 24 | +3 days |
| List-to-sale ratio | 98.8% | -0.4 pts |
| Active inventory (SFR) | 105 | +20% |
| Closed sales (trailing 90 days) | 232 | +4% |
| Months of supply | 1.4 | +0.3 |
| New listings (May) | 112 | +9% |
| Price per sqft (median) | $485 | +2.8% |
Inventory and supply
Active inventory in Chatsworth is 105 detached homes at the May snapshot, up 20% year-over-year. The increase is concentrated in the Twin Lakes and Chatsworth Park $1.1M-$1.4M resale band and the Indian Springs equestrian $1.6M+ band. Older central Chatsworth inventory under $950K is barely changed. Months of supply runs 1.4 citywide - tight seller's market.
Above $1.5M, supply runs roughly 2.5 months - moderate. The equestrian-zoned Indian Springs band (above $1.8M typical) is perennially thin because the supply of horse-zoned parcels is fixed and turnover is low. Stoney Point view lots are similar - few in number, distinctive in character.
New listings in May totaled 112, up 9% from May 2025. Los Angeles Unified school calendar drives Q2 buyer urgency. Chatsworth families concentrate around Chatsworth Park Elementary, Andasol Elementary, Sierra Canyon (private), and the Chatsworth Charter High boundary - school-tier homes get sharper buyer attention through Q2.
Days on market trend
24-day median DOM is three days slower than May 2025. Chatsworth DOM follows the broader San Fernando Valley seasonal curve - fastest in Q2, slowest in Q4. The mid-price Twin Lakes and Chatsworth Park tracts move fastest; the equestrian and hillside view lots run their own DOM curves with longer median DOM but more selective buyer pools.
By price band: under $900K is moving in 17 days. $1.0M-$1.2M at 22 days. $1.3M-$1.6M at 30 days. Above $1.8M, DOM extends to 50+ days. Indian Springs equestrian listings typically run 60-90 days because the comp pool is small and buyers are specifically searching for horse property characteristics.
| Price band | Median DOM | Sample size (90 days) |
|---|---|---|
| Under $900K | 17 | 52 |
| $900K - $1.1M | 21 | 68 |
| $1.1M - $1.3M | 26 | 52 |
| $1.3M - $1.6M | 35 | 32 |
| $1.6M - $2.2M | 55 | 18 |
| $2.2M+ | 78 | 10 |
By-neighborhood breakdown
Chatsworth divides into several distinct sub-areas. Indian Springs (the equestrian-zoned area north of Devonshire) carries the highest median at $1.85M because of the larger lots and horse-keeping permission. Stoney Point view lots sit in the $1.5M+ range. Twin Lakes (the master-planned community south of the 118) at $1.32M anchors the move-up tier. Chatsworth Park anchors the family-buyer core at $1.08M. Older central Chatsworth (south of Devonshire) runs lower at $895K.
The Indian Springs equestrian sub-market is the most distinctive. Lots there are typically 0.5-2+ acres with horse-keeping zoning, arenas, paddocks, and bridle-trail access. The buyer pool is specifically searching for horse property and the comp set does not overlap with non-equestrian Chatsworth tracts.
| Sub-area | Median price | Median DOM | Active |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indian Springs (equestrian) | $1,850,000 | 65 | 12 |
| Stoney Point (view lots) | $1,520,000 | 42 | 8 |
| Twin Lakes | $1,320,000 | 26 | 18 |
| West Chatsworth Hills | $1,180,000 | 23 | 14 |
| Chatsworth Park | $1,080,000 | 22 | 20 |
| Central Chatsworth | $985,000 | 19 | 16 |
| South Chatsworth | $895,000 | 18 | 17 |
By-price-band breakdown
The $900K-$1.3M bands together represent 65% of trailing-90-day closings. That is the family-buyer heart of the Chatsworth market - Chatsworth Park, Twin Lakes, West Chatsworth Hills, and Central Chatsworth. Above $1.6M is a smaller slice anchored in Indian Springs equestrian and Stoney Point view lots. Below $900K is mostly older South Chatsworth inventory in need of updating.
Buyers in the $1.6M+ band have some leverage - LTS at that level runs 97-98%. Sellers under $1.2M are in the strongest position; well-presented Chatsworth Park and Twin Lakes homes routinely see multiple offers in 14-21 days. Equestrian-property sellers in Indian Springs should plan for longer DOM but typically achieve closer to ask because the buyer pool is specifically motivated.
| Price band | Closings (90d) | % of total | Median LTS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under $900K | 52 | 22.4% | 99.4% |
| $900K - $1.1M | 68 | 29.3% | 99.0% |
| $1.1M - $1.3M | 52 | 22.4% | 98.6% |
| $1.3M - $1.6M | 32 | 13.8% | 98.0% |
| $1.6M - $2.2M | 18 | 7.8% | 97.2% |
| $2.2M+ | 10 | 4.3% | 96.0% |
Buyer takeaway
For Chatsworth buyers in Q2 2026, the playbook is sub-area-specific. Under $1.1M in Chatsworth Park or Twin Lakes: tight competitive market, clean pre-approval, ready to decide. $1.1M-$1.5M: more inventory to choose from, full inspection and reasonable credits in play. Indian Springs equestrian: specialized search, plan for 60-90 day timeline, lender pre-qualification for ag-residential property. Stoney Point view lots: distinctive inventory, careful comp review on view direction and pad orientation.
LAUSD school boundaries drive measurable price differentials. Chatsworth Park Elementary, Andasol Elementary, and Sierra Canyon (private) attendance boundaries each carry premium. Sierra Canyon is private and does not have a public attendance boundary - proximity and traffic flow are the relevant factors there. Verify on the LAUSD site for public school boundaries. Public-data amenity analysis only.
Seller takeaway
Sellers in Chatsworth under $1.3M face a strong market through Q2. List in May-June for peak buyer attention. $1.3M-$1.6M is more competitive - pricing precision and presentation matter more. Above $1.8M and equestrian: plan for 50-90 day DOM and lean on specialty marketing (drone for acreage, arena photos for equestrian, twilight shots for view lots).
Price-reduced Chatsworth listings sold for 95.8% of original list on average in May. The most common pricing mistake: comparing across sub-areas without adjusting for character. An Indian Springs equestrian and a Chatsworth Park tract home of the same square footage are different products - the buyer pools do not overlap and the comp sets are distinct.

What is Indian Springs Chatsworth?

Lots are typically 0.5-2+ acres with horse-keeping permission, arenas, paddocks, and access to local bridle trails. Median in May 2026 is $1.85M with 65-day DOM.

Is Chatsworth a good area for horse property?
Yes - Indian Springs and parts of Stoney Point are equestrian-zoned with built-out arenas, paddocks, and bridle-trail networks. Chatsworth has historically been one of the largest concentrations of horse property inside the City of Los Angeles. Proximity to the 118 makes commute access manageable. See the /chatsworth-real-estate page for the horse-property sub-area depth.
Is Chatsworth a buyer's or seller's market right now?
Citywide Chatsworth is a tight seller's market - 1.4 months of supply, 98.8% list-to-sale, 24-day DOM. Under $1.3M is the strongest seller's tier with multiple offers common. Above $1.6M shifts toward more balance. Indian Springs equestrian operates on its own dynamics with longer DOM but consistently strong LTS because of the specialized buyer pool.
How does Chatsworth compare to Porter Ranch?
Chatsworth median ($1.05M) runs about $200K below Porter Ranch ($1.25M). The gap reflects Porter Ranch's newer construction mix (Toll Brothers Westcliffe, The Bluffs) and gated communities.
