This is the Granada Hills 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). Granada Hills sits in the northwest San Fernando Valley, with the Knollwood Country Club area, the Granada Hills Charter High catchment, and a strong mix of 1950s-70s ranch tracts and updated mid-century inventory. ZIPs 91344 (primary) and 91394 (Knollwood-adjacent).
Headline numbers (Q2 2026)
May 2026 snapshot for the Granada Hills detached single-family market. Pulled from Combined LA County MLS on the first business day of the month. Primary ZIP 91344 with a portion in 91394 (Knollwood area). Single-family detached only; condos and townhomes are tracked separately. Knollwood Country Club homes are included in the median with flag in the sub-area breakdown.
The $985K median is up 3.6% year-over-year - tracking northwest San Fernando Valley appreciation. DOM at 21 days and LTS at 99.0% put Granada Hills in a tight seller's market. The Granada Hills Charter High School draw extends well beyond the immediate boundary because of the magnet enrollment process - that adds school-driven demand particularly through Q2.
| Metric | May 2026 value | vs May 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Median sale price (SFR) | $985,000 | +3.6% |
| Median days on market | 21 | +2 days |
| List-to-sale ratio | 99.0% | -0.3 pts |

Inventory and supply
Active inventory in Granada Hills is 142 detached homes at the May snapshot, up 18% year-over-year. The increase is concentrated in the $1.0M-$1.3M Knollwood-adjacent move-up band. Older central Granada Hills inventory under $900K is barely changed. Months of supply runs 1.4 citywide - tight seller's market.
Above $1.4M, supply runs roughly 2.5 months - moderate. Knollwood Country Club (the gated golf-course community) inventory is perennially thin (typically 6-12 active listings) because turnover is low. The luxury slice above $1.8M is small and concentrated in Knollwood Estates and the larger flat-acre lots near Balboa Boulevard.
New listings in May totaled 148, up 9% from May 2025. LAUSD school calendar drives Q2 buyer urgency. Granada Hills Charter High is the single strongest school-driven demand pull in the area - magnet enrollment process attracts families from across the northwest valley. Other Granada Hills schools (Patrick Henry Middle, Knollwood Elementary, El Oro Way) also drive measurable buyer attention.
Days on market trend
21-day median DOM is two days slower than May 2025. Granada Hills DOM follows the broader San Fernando Valley curve. Knollwood Country Club listings run their own slightly longer DOM because the gate buyer pool is more discretionary. School-tier homes (in-boundary for the highest-rated schools) move fastest within the citywide curve.
By price band: under $900K is moving in 16 days. $1.0M-$1.2M at 21 days. $1.3M-$1.5M at 28 days. Above $1.6M, DOM extends to 38+ days. Knollwood Country Club homes typically run 35-50 days depending on specific lot, view, and condition.
| Price band | Median DOM | Sample size (90 days) |
|---|---|---|
| Under $900K | 16 | 72 |
| $900K - $1.1M | 20 | 98 |
| $1.1M - $1.3M | 24 | 62 |
| $1.3M - $1.5M | 32 | 38 |
| $1.5M - $1.9M | 45 | 22 |
| $1.9M+ | 65 | 10 |
By-neighborhood breakdown
Granada Hills divides into several distinct sub-areas. Knollwood Country Club (gated, golf course) carries the highest median at $1.85M. Knollwood Estates (the larger flat-acre lots adjacent to the country club) at $1.52M. Granada Highlands (hillside view tracts) at $1.25M. Central Granada Hills (the broad 1950s-70s ranch tracts) at $935K. South Granada Hills (older inventory south of Devonshire) at $880K. The Balboa Boulevard corridor has mixed inventory bridging to Northridge.
Within Central Granada Hills, the in-boundary lines for Patrick Henry Middle and El Oro Way Elementary drive measurable price differentials - homes inside those boundaries trade $40K-$80K above otherwise-comparable homes outside.

| Balboa corridor | $995,000 | 20 | 18 |
By-price-band breakdown
The $850K-$1.2M bands together represent 65% of trailing-90-day closings. That is the family-buyer heart of the Granada Hills market - Central, North, and South Granada Hills, plus the Balboa corridor. Above $1.4M is a smaller slice anchored in Granada Highlands, Knollwood Estates, and Knollwood Country Club. Below $850K is mostly older south Granada Hills inventory.
Buyers in the $1.5M+ band have some leverage - LTS at that level runs 97-98%. Sellers under $1.1M are in the strongest position; well-presented Central Granada Hills homes in-boundary for the top schools see multiple offers in 12-18 days. Knollwood Country Club sellers should plan for longer DOM and structured concession negotiation.
| Price band | Closings (90d) | % of total | Median LTS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under $900K | 72 | 23.8% | 99.4% |
| $900K - $1.1M | 98 | 32.5% | 99.2% |
| $1.1M - $1.3M | 62 | 20.5% | 98.8% |
| $1.3M - $1.5M | 38 | 12.6% | 98.2% |
| $1.5M - $1.9M | 22 | 7.3% | 97.5% |
| $1.9M+ | 10 | 3.3% | 96.5% |
Buyer takeaway
For Granada Hills buyers in Q2 2026, the playbook is school-driven. Under $1.1M in Central or North Granada Hills (in-boundary for top schools): tight market, clean pre-approval, ready to decide in 24-48 hours. $1.1M-$1.4M: balanced; full inspection and reasonable credits. Knollwood Country Club: gated lifestyle, different buyer profile, plan for 35-50 day timeline.
Granada Hills Charter High is the single strongest school-driven demand pull. The school is a charter with magnet-style enrollment - verify the enrollment process on the GHCHS website. Many families buying in adjacent neighborhoods (Porter Ranch, Northridge) are doing so specifically to be close to GHCHS but the school does not require in-boundary residence in the same way as a traditional LAUSD public school. Verify before assuming.
Seller takeaway
Sellers in Granada Hills under $1.2M face a strong market through Q2. List in May-June for peak buyer attention. School-tier in-boundary homes are the strongest segment of the strong segment. $1.2M-$1.5M is more competitive with Granada Highlands and Knollwood Estates resales overlapping. Knollwood Country Club: plan for 40-60 day DOM and lean on professional photography, drone, and gate-amenity messaging.
Price-reduced Granada Hills listings sold for 96.2% of original list on average in May. The most common pricing mistake: comparing across school boundaries without adjusting for the school premium. A home inside Patrick Henry Middle boundary and a home outside but otherwise comparable can have a $50K-$80K differential.
