October 2026 Market Insight

What stands out to me most this month is Lake Los Angeles (ZIP 93591). For years it has been one of the cheapest ZIPs in the valley — and many buyers overlooked it because of that. But over the past year, while the median sale price fell 1.9% in Palmdale, it rose 1.6% in 93591 (Redfin, June–August 2026). What I see in the field: families who could not get into Palmdale or Lancaster are now showing up in Lake LA, where the median is still below both big cities, at about $415,000.

The Dream For All situation concerns me for many of my clients. The 2026 round took applications from February 24 to March 16, CalHFA chose recipients by random drawing, and vouchers went out on May 20. The next round has not been announced yet, which means preparing now is critical. If you are waiting for Dream For All to buy, use this time to improve your credit score, gather your documentation, and complete the pre-approval process. When the window opens, buyers who already have everything ready are the ones who win — those who start the process when it opens are already too late. Text me and I will tell you exactly which documents you need to have ready.

What Changed Over the Past Year

Frequently Asked Questions — Antelope Valley Market October 2026

What is the median home price in Antelope Valley in October 2026?

There is no official valley-wide median, so here are the main cities. According to Redfin, the median sale price for June–August 2026 was about $515,000 in Palmdale (-1.9% year over year), $480,000 in Lancaster (+2.1%) and $415,000 in Lake Los Angeles ZIP code 93591 (+1.6%). These are the latest figures published as of October 2026. Source: Redfin Data Center, 3-month window.

Is the Dream For All program from CalHFA available in October 2026?

Not right now. The 2026 round took applications from February 24 to March 16, 2026; CalHFA selected recipients by random drawing and issued vouchers on May 20. A waitlist is active for applicants, and CalHFA has not announced the next round (calhfa.ca.gov/dream). Dream For All is a shared appreciation loan: when you sell or pay off the mortgage, you repay the loan plus a share of the home's appreciation. Buyers are advised to pre-qualify now and prepare all documentation before the next window opens. Sal Bermudez at De Tu Lado Casas Powered by Real can help you get application-ready.

Which lenders accept ITIN loans for buying a home in Palmdale or Lancaster in 2026?

In the Antelope Valley, lenders working with ITIN borrowers include A&D Mortgage (min. 620 FICO, 10% down), Lending Champions with a local Lancaster office, Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions (non-QM, 24-month bank statement), and Acra Lending (no U.S. credit history required). Typically 10–15% down payment and 12–24 months of tax returns are required.

Is it a good time to buy a home in Antelope Valley in 2026?

Palmdale has about 4.2 months of supply and Lancaster 4.0 (Redfin, June–August 2026): a balanced market (4–6 months is considered balanced). Over the past year, the median sale price fell 1.9% in Palmdale and rose 2.1% in Lancaster. For first-time buyers with access to active DPA programs like CalHFA MyHome or GSFA Platinum, what matters most is whether the monthly payment works for you today; nobody can promise where prices go next.

How much down payment assistance can I get in Antelope Valley?

First-time buyers in the Antelope Valley can look at several programs: CalHFA MyHome (up to 3.5% of the price with FHA, or 3% with a conventional loan), GSFA Platinum (up to 5% of the loan; first-time status not required) and LA County's HOP (up to $100,000 or 20% of the price, only in unincorporated areas such as Lake Los Angeles or Quartz Hill — the cities of Palmdale and Lancaster are not on the list). Dream For All (up to $150,000) closed its 2026 round and the next one has not been announced. Each program has its own rules for combining with others. De Tu Lado Casas Powered by Real verifies eligibility across all 23 active programs.
