San Fernando Valley Market Report — August 2026

San Fernando Valley

San Fernando Valley aggregate covers: Burbank, Encino, Granada Hills, Mission Hills, North Hollywood, Northridge, Porter Ranch, Reseda, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Sun Valley, Sunland, Sylmar, Tarzana, Toluca Lake, Valley Glen, Valley Village, Van Nuys, Winnetka, Woodland Hills.

The Valley continues to offer the widest range of price points in Los Angeles, from condos and starter homes on the north side to estates south of Ventura Boulevard. Inventory is healthy enough that buyers have real choice, while correctly priced homes still move quickly. Homes that sit are usually priced against last year's comps rather than today's.

Studio City

Studio City remains one of the Valley's most in-demand submarkets, driven by entertainment-industry buyers and the Ventura Boulevard corridor. Asking prices sit near the top of the Valley range, and the current time on market suggests buyers are being selective at those numbers — presentation and pricing discipline matter here.

Encino

Encino's market is clearly segmented. North-of-the-boulevard homes in the more attainable range attract steady interest, while the luxury estate market south of the boulevard is a longer, more deliberate process where buyers take their time.

Sherman Oaks

Sherman Oaks benefits from walkability along Ventura Boulevard and strong school options, which keeps demand consistent across cycles. Condos remain the entry point for first-time buyers, while single-family homes near the boulevard carry a premium.

Woodland Hills

Woodland Hills continues to offer value relative to neighboring Calabasas and Encino. The Warner Center build-out keeps adding amenities, and family-sized homes on larger lots remain the most sought-after segment.

Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills moves at its own pace. Trophy properties require patience and discretion, while the flats see more conventional dynamics. Longer marketing periods here are normal rather than a signal of weakness.

Glendale

Glendale's top-rated schools and vibrant Armenian community keep demand strong, and it currently shows the shortest time on market of any city in this report. Rossmoyne and Verdugo Woodlands are especially competitive, while condos near Brand Boulevard remain an accessible entry point.

Burbank

Burbank's small-town feel, strong schools and studio proximity keep this market consistently active, and homes here are turning over faster than the Valley as a whole. Magnolia Park and the Burbank Hills command the highest premiums, and true starter homes are increasingly hard to find.
