This monthly recap explains how Santa Clarita Valley closed sales are tallied and what they reveal — median sale price, list-to-sale ratio, and sale pace — so you can read the market's actual results.
The monthly sold-listings recap summarizes closed sales across the SCV — how many homes sold, the median sale price, and the list-to-sale ratio. Closed sales are the truest read of value because they reflect what buyers actually paid. Current figures are updated quarterly. For today’s numbers, use the live search or contact Brian directly.
What the recap covers
It tallies the prior month's closed transactions by city, showing volume, median price, and how close final prices came to asking. Unlike active listings, sold data reflects realized value, making it the anchor for pricing decisions.
- Number of closed sales by city
- Median and average sale price
- List-to-sale price ratio
- Median days on market for closings
Why sold data beats list prices
List prices are sellers' hopes; sold prices are the market's verdict. The recap focuses on closings so buyers and sellers anchor to what homes actually fetched, not what they were asking — the foundation of any accurate CMA.
How list-to-sale is read
List-to-sale compares final price to the last list price. Above 100% means homes are selling over asking (strong demand); near 100% is balanced; below 100% means buyers negotiated down. It is one of the clearest monthly leverage signals.
Lag and revisions
Closed-sale data lags because escrows take weeks to close, and figures can revise slightly as late closings report. The recap notes the capture date so you know how current the picture is; verify before relying on any single month.
How to get the current closings
The recap refreshes monthly and figures move; this page explains the read rather than freezing a number. Contact Brian or use the live search for the verified SCV sold data and a property-specific comparison.
