This is the West 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). West Hills sits at the western edge of the San Fernando Valley, ZIP 91307. The Valley Circle Estates hillside tracts and Westridge gated golf-course community anchor the move-up tier above the broader 1970s-80s family-buyer tract market.
Headline numbers (Q2 2026)
May 2026 snapshot for the West Hills detached single-family market. Pulled from Combined LA County MLS on the first business day of the month. ZIP 91307. Single-family detached only; condos and townhomes are tracked separately. Westridge (gated golf-course community) included in the median with flag in the sub-area breakdown.
The $1.05M median is up 3.5% year-over-year - tracking the western San Fernando Valley appreciation. DOM at 22 days and LTS at 98.8% put West Hills in a tight seller's market. The proximity to Calabasas and the Ventura County line adds Conejo Valley commuter demand that the more eastern San Fernando Valley cities do not have as strongly.
| Metric | May 2026 value | vs May 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Median sale price (SFR) | $1,050,000 | +3.5% |
| Median days on market | 22 | +3 days |
| List-to-sale ratio | 98.8% | -0.4 pts |

| Price per sqft (median) | $498 | +3.0% |
Inventory and supply
Active inventory in West Hills is 88 detached homes at the May snapshot, up 21% year-over-year. The increase is concentrated in the $1.1M-$1.4M Valley Circle Estates and Westridge-adjacent resale band. Older central West Hills inventory below $950K is barely changed. Months of supply runs 1.3 citywide - tight seller's market.
Above $1.4M, supply runs roughly 2.5 months - moderate. Westridge gated community inventory is typically 4-8 active listings. Valley Circle Estates view lots are perennially thin because of the fixed parcel count. The luxury slice above $1.8M is small and concentrated in custom-built hillside homes along Valley Circle Boulevard.
New listings in May totaled 98, up 10% from May 2025. LAUSD school calendar drives Q2 buyer urgency in the family-buyer tier. El Camino Real Charter High is a strong magnet/charter draw - verify the enrollment process if that is part of your search criteria. Hale Charter Academy serves the middle school tier.
Days on market trend
22-day median DOM is three days slower than May 2025. West Hills DOM follows the broader western San Fernando Valley curve. Westridge gated and Valley Circle Estates hillside listings run their own slightly longer DOM curves because the buyer pools are more discretionary.
By price band: under $900K is moving in 17 days. $1.0M-$1.2M at 22 days. $1.3M-$1.5M at 30 days. Above $1.6M, DOM extends to 42+ days. Westridge gated homes typically run 35-50 days; Valley Circle Estates view homes 35-55 days depending on view and lot character.
| Price band | Median DOM | Sample size (90 days) |
|---|---|---|
| Under $900K | 17 | 32 |
| $900K - $1.1M | 21 | 58 |
| $1.1M - $1.3M | 25 | 48 |
| $1.3M - $1.5M | 32 | 30 |
| $1.5M - $1.9M | 44 | 20 |
| $1.9M+ | 62 | 10 |
By-neighborhood breakdown
West Hills divides into several distinct sub-areas. Valley Circle Estates (hillside view tracts along Valley Circle Boulevard) carries the highest median at $1.78M. Westridge (gated golf-course community) at $1.62M. The Knolls (the Westridge-adjacent move-up tracts) at $1.32M. North West Hills (the family-buyer tracts north of Sherman Way) at $1.05M. Central West Hills (the broad 1970s-80s ranch tracts) at $950K. South West Hills (older inventory south of Saticoy) at $895K.
Valley Circle Estates is the most view-driven sub-area; pad orientation, view directionality, and downhill grade matter materially for value. Westridge gated buyer profile is more discretionary and golf-course adjacent or facing lots carry premium. The Knolls bridges between the gated tier and the family-buyer tract market.
| Sub-area | Median price | Median DOM | Active |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valley Circle Estates | $1,780,000 | 44 | 10 |
| Westridge (gated) | $1,620,000 | 38 | 6 |
| The Knolls | $1,320,000 | 28 | 10 |
| North West Hills | $1,050,000 | 22 | 18 |
| Central West Hills | $950,000 | 20 | 24 |
| South West Hills | $895,000 | 18 | 20 |
By-price-band breakdown
The $900K-$1.3M bands together represent 67% of trailing-90-day closings. That is the family-buyer heart of the West Hills market - Central, North, and South West Hills. Above $1.4M is a smaller slice anchored in The Knolls, Westridge, and Valley Circle Estates. Below $900K is mostly older South West Hills inventory.
Buyers in the $1.5M+ band have some leverage - LTS at that level runs 97-98%. Sellers under $1.2M are in the strongest position; well-presented Central and North West Hills homes routinely see multiple offers in 14-21 days. Westridge and Valley Circle Estates sellers should plan for longer DOM and lean on professional marketing.
| Price band | Closings (90d) | % of total | Median LTS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under $900K | 32 | 16.2% | 99.4% |
| $900K - $1.1M | 58 | 29.3% | 99.0% |
| $1.1M - $1.3M | 48 | 24.2% | 98.8% |
| $1.3M - $1.5M | 30 | 15.2% | 98.2% |
| $1.5M - $1.9M | 20 | 10.1% | 97.5% |
| $1.9M+ | 10 | 5.1% | 96.5% |
Buyer takeaway
For West Hills buyers in Q2 2026, the playbook is band-specific. Under $1.1M family-buyer in Central or North West Hills: tight market, clean pre-approval, ready to decide. $1.1M-$1.4M in The Knolls or Westridge-adjacent: balanced; full inspection and reasonable credits. Westridge gated: discretionary buyer profile, longer search timeline acceptable. Valley Circle Estates: view-driven, careful pad and view-direction comp review.
School boundaries matter. El Camino Real Charter High is the primary charter high school draw - magnet-style enrollment, verify current process on ECRCHS site. Hale Charter Academy serves middle school. LAUSD elementary boundaries vary - Pomelo Community Charter, Justice Street Academy, and others depending on specific address. Public-data amenity analysis only.
Seller takeaway
Sellers in West Hills under $1.2M face a strong market through Q2. List in May-June for peak buyer attention. $1.2M-$1.5M is more competitive with The Knolls and Westridge-adjacent resales overlapping. Westridge gated and Valley Circle Estates: plan for 40-60 day DOM and lean on professional photography, drone, and twilight shots for view homes.
Price-reduced West Hills listings sold for 96.4% of original list on average in May. The most common pricing mistake: comparing to Calabasas or Woodland Hills comps when listing in West Hills. The comp set should stay inside West Hills sub-areas for accuracy - the city-line price differentials are real.
