Santa Clarita Homes for Sale – Top Listings!

If you’re comparing zip codes for a Santa Clarita home search, it’s worth knowing upfront that the city isn’t one uniform market — Valencia, Canyon Country, Newhall, Saugus, and Stevenson Ranch each have distinct price points, school assignments, and inventory levels, and a search that spans the whole city will mix all of them together. Here’s what the market actually looks like right now, neighborhood by neighborhood.

What the Santa Clarita Market Looks Like Right Now

As of May 2026, the median sale price for a home in Santa Clarita was $798,997, down about 2% from a year earlier, according to Redfin. Homes are taking longer to sell than they were during the tighter market of a couple years ago — the average is now around 45 days on market, and Redfin rates the market as “somewhat competitive” rather than a full bidding-war environment, with buyers typically facing around two competing offers rather than a dozen. That’s a meaningfully different market than a simple “homes sell fast, act quickly” pitch would suggest — buyers currently have more room to negotiate than they did a couple of years ago.

Prices vary a lot by neighborhood and home type. Single-family houses have been running higher than the citywide median — recent data puts the median house sale price closer to $840,000 — while condos have been selling in the $500,000s. If you’re budgeting, it’s worth pulling recent comps for your specific target neighborhood rather than relying on a single citywide number, since Valencia and Stevenson Ranch tend to run above the city median while parts of Canyon Country run below it.

Santa Clarita’s Zip Codes, by Neighborhood

Santa Clarita is made up of several distinct communities, each with its own zip code(s):

• Valencia — 91354, 91355, 91385
• Canyon Country — 91351, 91386, 91387
• Newhall — 91321, 91322
• Stevenson Ranch — 91381
• Castaic (unincorporated, but often grouped with Santa Clarita) — 91310, 91384
• Saugus / Santa Clarita proper — 91350, 91380, 91382, 91383, 91390

If you’re house-hunting, it’s worth double-checking a listing’s actual zip code and community before assuming which schools or amenities it’s near — some real estate sites group these communities loosely under “Santa Clarita,” and neighborhood boundaries don’t always match zip code boundaries exactly.

Schools

Most of Santa Clarita is served by the William S. Hart Union High School District for grades 7–12, with several separate elementary districts (including Saugus Union, Newhall School District, and Sulphur Springs Union) covering K–6 depending on the neighborhood. If schools are a priority, check which specific elementary and high school a property is zoned for rather than assuming district-wide reputation applies evenly — school assignment boundaries can split streets within the same zip code.

What It’s Actually Like to Live There

A few things worth knowing beyond price and schools:

• Wildfire risk is a real factor. Santa Clarita sits in a high fire-risk part of Los Angeles County, with much of the city’s housing stock exposed to some degree of wildfire risk given the surrounding hillsides and canyons. It’s worth checking a property’s specific fire hazard severity zone and asking about insurance availability before you get attached to a listing — some California insurers have pulled back from writing new policies in higher-risk zones in recent years.
• Commute matters more than the city’s proximity to LA suggests. Santa Clarita is roughly 30 miles north of downtown Los Angeles, but the drive down the 5 or 14 freeway during peak hours can run well over an hour. Metrolink commuter rail service connects Santa Clarita to downtown LA if you want an alternative to driving.
• HOA and Mello-Roos fees vary widely by neighborhood. Newer master-planned communities, especially in Valencia and parts of Canyon Country, often carry Mello-Roos special tax assessments on top of regular property taxes, plus HOA dues. These can add a real amount to your monthly housing cost, so ask for the specific figures on any property you’re seriously considering rather than assuming they’re minor.
• Recreation options are genuinely strong. The city maintains an extensive paseo trail system connecting neighborhoods, and Six Flags Magic Mountain is located within city limits. Placerita Canyon and Towsley Canyon offer hiking close to residential areas.

Bottom Line

Santa Clarita’s market has cooled somewhat from its tightest years — prices are down slightly year-over-year and homes are sitting longer, which gives buyers more negotiating room than headlines about fast-selling inventory might suggest. Before you commit to a neighborhood, get current comps for the specific zip code you’re considering, confirm which elementary and high schools a property is zoned for, and ask directly about wildfire risk and any Mello-Roos assessments — those three things vary more within Santa Clarita than the citywide averages let on. A local agent who works the specific neighborhood you’re targeting, rather than the city broadly, will have a better read on current comps than any general market summary.
