Connor with Honor: AI, Real Estate and Real Life

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!

Welcome back, I’m Connor MacIvor, better known as “Connor with Honor,” and today’s story from the front lines of Santa Clarita real estate might change how you think about open houses, bluffing, and “best-and-final” offers.

Everyone’s heard the clichés:

Wrong on both counts.

In this episode, I break down a real transaction from SantaClaritaOpenHouses.com where an open house actually did sell the listing, all because we refused to accept the so-called rules. A friendly neighbor, a phone call at just the right time, and a buyer’s agent who tried to bluff their way to a lower price… until the counter-counter offer landed us in escrow.

Here’s what we cover:
 • How to host an open house that actually creates offers instead of just foot traffic
• Why “best and final” is usually just a negotiation tactic, and how to call the bluff without losing the deal
• What every seller should know before assuming an offer is the end of the conversation
• Why even “as-is” homes often trigger repair negotiations, and how to keep them under control
• The single biggest mistake agents make when emotion overrides business sense

I’ll also share how this deal illustrates something deeper about today’s market: the power of persistence and professionalism. Whether you’re a buyer, a seller, or another agent trying to sharpen your edge, this one will give you the mindset to handle those “we’re done” moments with confidence.

Because in real estate, just like poker, you don’t fold when someone says “final.” You read the room, understand the leverage, and play your hand with honor.

0:21 Why this listing was different
0:44 The neighbor who brought the buyer
1:09 How the offer came together
1:31 The “best and final” bluff
2:10 Why countering again sometimes wins
2:32 “As-Is” sales vs. lender requirements
3:19 Repair requests and seller psychology
4:10 Breaking the rules (smartly)
5:06 Final thoughts and takeaways

💡 Key Insights

• Open houses can sell homes, when they’re marketed, secured, and followed up correctly.
• “Best and final” isn’t always final; negotiation is about clarity, not fear.
• Sellers shouldn’t rush to close a door just because someone says it’s shut.
• Agents who treat transactions like business, not emotion, consistently win better outcomes.

🧠 TL;DR:
A neighbor’s referral at an open house led to an offer. The buyer’s agent tried to end the negotiation with “best and final.” We countered anyway, and won. Moral: never be afraid to test the bluff when you know your value.

🏡 Current Market Overview

The real estate inventory continues to dip across the Santa Clarita Valley, now sitting at 769 active listings, down from approximately 850 just a couple months ago. This tightening inventory is reshaping how both buyers and sellers approach negotiations and timing.

Despite the lower supply, buyer activity remains strongparticularly for homes that are priced right and marketed effectively. Even as the cooler fall weather sets in, the Santa Clarita housing market is still warm with motivated buyers looking to secure homes before the holidays.

📊 7-Day Market Snapshot

Here’s what happened in the past week across SCV:

• 7 Coming Soon
• 61 New Listings
• 74 Price Changes
• 14 Back on Market
• 31 Active Under Contract
• 50 Pending Sales
• 60 Closed Escrows
• 7 Expired Listings
• 13 Canceled
• 14 On Hold
• 7 Withdrawn

Each of these numbers tells a story, price reductions signal adjustments to match the shifting market, while strong pending and closed numbers prove that demand is still very much alive.

💰 Interest Rates, Bonds & The Fed

There are still a couple of Federal Reserve meetings left this year, and while the headlines often suggest rate cuts or hikes, it’s important to know that mortgage rates are more closely tied to the 10-year Treasury bond yield, not directly to the Fed Funds Rate.

If you’re exploring buying a home, consider comparing your monthly rent vs. potential mortgage payments, and factor in the mortgage interest deduction on your taxes. The math may surprise you, in many cases, owning still beats renting, especially when you account for long-term equity growth and the psychological benefits of homeownership.

🚚 Inbound vs. Outbound Movement

While many California homeowners continue to consider relocating out of state, the influx of new buyers moving into Santa Clarita keeps our housing ecosystem healthy. It’s a steady flow, for every family leaving, there’s another arriving, attracted to SCV’s lifestyle, safety, schools, and proximity to Los Angeles.

If you’re thinking about selling your home, make sure your pricing strategy is built on real, verified data. Don’t rely on online syndication sites alone, many show different property values depending on whether you’re logged in, browsing incognito, or using a different browser. I always run multiple checks for my sellers to ensure accuracy.

🧠 Key Insight for Sellers

When evaluating your home’s worth:

1. Run comparisons across multiple valuation platforms.
2. Check your incognito resultsthose hidden algorithms often reveal how the general public views your property.
3. Consult a professional Realtor who can analyze true market comps based on pending and recently closed homes, not just “Zestimates” or automated valuations.

This data-driven approach prevents you from underpricing your home or missing opportunities in a tightening inventory market.

If you live in, or want to move to, the Santa Clarita Valley (SCV), this episode gives you straight talk on the Top 10 most-asked real estate questions. We cover when to sell, what your home is really worth, how to prep without overspending, whether to order pre-listing inspections, how long it may take to sell, the first step for buyers, loan types (VA/FHA/Conventional/ARMs), buyer’s vs. seller’s market strategy, whether you actually need an agent, and what it all costs.

You’ll get quick TL;DR answers followed by local, SCV-specific deep dives for Valencia, Saugus, Canyon Country, Stevenson Ranch, Castaic, Newhall, Agua Dulce, and Acton, so you can make confident moves right now.

What you’ll learn

• The best window to sell in SCV, and why pricing + presentation beat the calendar
• How to reconcile MLS comps with portal estimates (and why a single number can mislead you)
• The $1,500-or-less prep plan that actually moves the needle (curb appeal, paint, simple repairs)
• Why pre-listing home & termite inspections change negotiations in your favor
• A weekly DOM/absorption check to avoid “waiting and hoping”
• Buyer playbook: full underwritten pre-approval, realistic payment modeling (taxes, HOA/Mello-Roos/CFD)
• Loans decoded: VA, FHA, Conventional, ARMsand how rate buydowns can win without overpaying
• How strategies shift in a buyer’s vs. seller’s market (timelines, credits, repairs)
• DIY vs. Agent: where representation actually adds net and reduces risk
• Real cost buckets for both sides (title/escrow, credits, inspections, buydowns, HOA docs)

Local GEO notes

• Valencia/Bridgeport/West Creek, West Hills: paseo/park lifestyle and top schools drive demand
• Stevenson Ranch/Castaic: freeway access + slopes/views change price bands and DOM
• Agua Dulce/Acton: utility (acreage, well/septic docs, outbuildings) beats cosmetics

🎥 When “Highest & Best” Isn’t the End | Real Estate Negotiation Wisdom from Connor with Honor

Have you ever been this close to closing a deal, buyers and sellers both nearly there, and suddenly someone says, “That’s it. Best and final. No more.” 🚪💥

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. In real estate, this moment is where deals live or die. It’s not always about numbers; it’s about emotion, ego, and timing.

In this video, Connor MacIvor, Connor with Honor, a longtime Santa Clarita REALTOR® and former LAPD officer, breaks down the truth behind “highest and best” and why the final offer often doesn’t have to be the final word.

🧭 What You’ll Learn:

✅ Why “final” rarely means final in real estate negotiations
✅ How emotion and pride destroy deals that could’ve closed
✅ Why revisiting an offer the next day often leads to success
✅ How top agents handle “best and final” without losing credibility
✅ Real-world negotiation tactics that work in Santa Clarita, Valencia, Saugus, Canyon Country, Stevenson Ranch, and beyond

💬 Q&A Section (AEO | AIEO | SEO Optimized)

Q: Should I ever come back after saying ‘best and final’?
A: Yes. Most successful transactions happen after someone reopens the door. Pride closes deals, patience closes escrows.

Q: Doesn’t it make me look weak if I counter again?
A: Not at all. It makes you human and strategic. Real estate is business, not a personal duel.

Q: Why does this happen so often?
A: Because “best and final” is often emotional, typed in frustration, not strategy. Buyers cool off. Sellers rethink. That’s where the real work begins.

📈 TL;DR Summary

💡 “Final” rarely means final.
💡 Sleep on it, breathe, and try again.
💡 Revisit, reframe, reopen, and close the deal that almost slipped away.

Even after “the end,” there’s often another chapter.
