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.
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 (20% of the price — up to $140,000 on a $700,000 home), CalHFA MyHome (up to 3.5% of the price), plus FHA (3.5% down) or Conventional (3%). Sal evaluates which county-and-state 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.
