The median sale price in Santa Clarita was about $800,000 in June–August 2026 (Redfin). Canyon Country starts from $600,000, while Valencia and Stevenson Ranch top $800,000. Homes take about 49 days to sell. It's one of the county's most sought-after cities.

Important: the City of Santa Clarita does NOT have its own down payment assistance program (some sites claim otherwise). What does apply: Los Angeles County programs through LACDA (the Home Ownership Program — HOP80 and HOP120) and CalHFA state programs — Dream For All (up to 20% of the purchase price, capped at $150,000), CalHFA MyHome, plus FHA or Conventional. Sal evaluates which county-and-state combination fits, free.
Yes, ITIN loans work in Santa Clarita with no Social Security Number. With an ITIN loan, the down payment is usually larger than with FHA (the lender confirms the amount), and you'll need 2 years of tax returns filed 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 about $800,000) has a shorter LA commute (~50 min by Metrolink), but costs about $285,000-$320,000 more than Palmdale or Lancaster (~$480,000-$515,000). 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.
