The median home price in Santa Clarita is about $700,000 in 2026. Canyon Country starts from $600,000, while Valencia and Stevenson Ranch top $800,000. It's a very competitive market — homes sell in about 25 days. With its high-performing schools (Hart Union and Saugus Union at 8/10), it's one of the county's most sought-after cities.
Santa Clarita has the highest school ratings in the service area: the William S. Hart Union High School District and Saugus Union School District are at 8/10 (GreatSchools), with Newhall at 7/10. These schools, plus being one of California's safest cities, are the main reason for the premium over the Antelope Valley.
In Santa Clarita you can use Dream For All (20% of the price — up to $140,000 on a $700,000 home), CalHFA MyHome (up to $15,000), FHA (3.5% — about $24,500 down), and Conventional 3% for strong credit. These programs make a city that seems out of budget reachable. Sal evaluates which combination fits, free.
Yes, ITIN loans work in Santa Clarita with no Social Security Number, though the down payment is higher given the prices: $70,000-$105,000 at 10-15% on a $700,000 home, plus 2 years of tax returns under your ITIN. Many ITIN buyers start in Canyon Country (from $600,000), the most affordable area. Sal evaluates your specific situation.
It depends on your priority. Santa Clarita (median $700,000) has the area's best schools (8/10) and a shorter LA commute (~50 min by Metrolink), but costs $250,000-$300,000 more than Palmdale or Lancaster ($430,000-$460,000). The Antelope Valley offers the same assistance programs with a much lower down payment. Sal walks you through the numbers on both regions, no pressure.
