The real estate market is experiencing some major shifts, and it’s time to break down what’s happening. Right now, there are 526 active listings in the Santa Clarita Valley, and that number has increased significantly over the past two weeks. Open house conversations reflect what buyers and sellers are feeling—uncertainty about where things are headed, concerns about the economy, and questions about whether now is the right time to buy or sell.

There’s no doubt that broader economic and political changes are influencing real estate decisions. Government funding cuts, changes in immigration policies, and the increasing role of artificial intelligence in the job market are all factors creating economic fluctuations. When the economy is in flux, many investors turn to real estate as a more stable and tangible asset compared to volatile options like stocks and digital investments. Real estate continues to be a strong long-term play.

One of the biggest questions I get from buyers is whether now is a good time to invest in a home. Historically, this time of year sees a pickup in market activity. Over the next month and a half, more buyers will start entering the market, leading to increased competition for homes. For sellers, that means preparation is key—pricing correctly and understanding local trends will be the difference between sitting on the market and selling quickly.

For those looking for guidance, my updated 2025 book on buying and selling real estate in Santa Clarita is available, offering insights into navigating today’s market. Additionally, online resources and blog updates provide ongoing analysis of local trends.

The bottom line? Real estate remains one of the most reliable long-term investments, even during uncertain times. The next few months will bring more clarity, and staying ahead of market trends will be crucial. Stay tuned as we continue to track what’s happening and help buyers and sellers make the best decisions.
