Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Q4 2025).
Year-over-year, Valley Acres has seen notable price movement, with the rolling three-month median list price rising about 49 percent compared with last year. At the same time, active listings in this view are down roughly one-third, and new listings have fallen by about two-thirds. This combination points to fewer options for buyers but at significantly higher asking prices than a year ago.
Looking at the latest rolling three-month period ending in September 2026, the median list price is about $371,000, only a bit higher than early summer but well above levels seen in 2024. Inventory is thin, with just two active listings and only one new listing coming to market in this window, suggesting that each new property could draw attention from motivated buyers.
Longer-term history shows how conditions have shifted from a looser market in 2023, when months of supply occasionally climbed above six and homes could sit longer, to a strong seller’s market rating today. Past data also show that very few homes in Valley Acres have sold above list price, even when days on market were short, pointing to the importance of careful pricing rather than expecting aggressive bidding wars. With prices up, supply limited, and conditions favoring sellers overall, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local agent to navigate this evolving market.

“Alice was wonderful throughout our home purchase at 9819 Haines. She is kind, knowledgeable, responsive, and made the entire process feel much less stressful. We truly appreciated her guidance and professionalism. Highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home!”
“Great guidance and attention to all details that mattered from beginning to End. Couldn't of done it without you. Thanks you!!!”
“Jasmine helped us find a mobile home with the features we needed, and she made it so easy. We bought one of the first she showed us. And Jasmine timed everything perfectly so we could start moving in when time got tight. We had to move out of the house we were selling, and time was running out. I don't know what we would have done without her.”
“Katherine Materiale is not only an absolute delight to work with, she is also an absolute ROCK STAR of a Realtor. She is kind, caring, honest and extremely professional. Katherine guided us every step of the way in selling our home of 26 years. With her advise and guidance, we were able to sell our house on the the day after our first open house. Moreover, the subsequent process of walkthroughs, paperwork, and all of the other things that you have to go through when selling a home was a breeze. Katherine and her team were professional, dedicated and extremely knowledgeable as they guided us through every step of the process in what amounted to a stress free and smooth experience. The communication was outstanding, consistent and immediate. I have no problem giving my highest recommendation for Katherine and her team. If you need to buy or sell your house look no further than Katherine Materiale....you won't regret it.”
“Carol was a dream to work with. She was professional, knowledgeable, and a great communicator. She helped me find a tenant for a rental quickly after one open house. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again, whether for a rental, purchase, or sale. Well-deserved 5*s.”
“We had a great experience working with Shavarsh on our home purchase. He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and always quick to respond whenever we had questions. We really appreciated the honest advice, attention to detail, and guidance throughout the entire process. He made everything feel much easier and less stressful, and we always felt confident we were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Shavarsh anyone looking to buy a home!”
“We have had the distinct pleasure of working with Kyle, Anthony, and Pilar on the purchase of our DTLA home. They are such an excellent and exceptional team. From the beginning to the end, we experienced tremendous support and attention. If you are looking to buy a home, you can’t go wrong with the SERENE team!”
“I highly recommend Min Hui Yeh. It’s great experience working with her on the sale of my house. She was extremely knowledgeable, responsive and resourceful. She kept me informed throughout the selling process. She truly went above and beyond to help me sell my house.”
“From the very beginning, Mona’s professionalism and deep understanding of the probate sale process gave me confidence. She was relentless in negotiations, always advocating for our best interests. Even after the sale closed, Mona remained incredibly helpful, offering advice and support whenever needed. Her ability to simplify a complex process, paired with her industrious work ethic, made the entire experience far less stressful. I truly appreciate her dedication and would recommend Mona without hesitation to anyone navigating a probate sale.”
“Diya helped us find our dream home in Simi Valley, and honestly the whole experience was amazing. From day one she made us feel completely comfortable and kept us informed at every single step. Anytime we had a question or a concern, she was on it. She’s so knowledgeable about the area and the market and she truly goes above and beyond for her clients. What I loved most was that it never felt like a stiff business transaction. It felt like going house shopping with a girlfriend who just happens to know everything about real estate. She's warm, she's patient, and she made what could have been a really stressful process feel almost fun. She also connected us with some wonderful service recommendations that made the whole move so much easier. You can tell she's experienced and reliable in how she handles everything, not just in the big moments but in all the little details too. We're so happy we went with her and we're already planning to use her to sell our condo next. I can’t imagine a better experience than working with Diya.”
“Brad Korb and his team are the best in the business. One of their strengths is their listening skills. They hear your concerns and explain the process of selling your house, escrow, etc. clearly. Most importantly, they answer their phone! I have bought and sold ten houses over the years and have been frustrated by sales people who let their phones go to VM all the time. Brad is very busy and always sets up a 2-3 hour window in the morning and afternoon to return calls. His other staff always seems available to answer questions. Brad got me 18 offers in the first week and sold my home for $86,000 above the appraised value. Brad Korb's office was my "Dream Team!"”
“I truly couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Jose Padilla! As a first-time homebuyer, purchasing my first home was one of the biggest and most important decisions of my life. I had so many questions, concerns, and uncertainties throughout the process, and I am incredibly grateful that I had Jose by my side to guide me through it all. From the very beginning, Jose was knowledgeable, professional, patient, and genuinely invested in helping me become a homeowner. He took the time to explain the process, walk me through important decisions, and help me understand my options without making me feel pressured. I never felt like I was just another transaction to him. What I appreciated most was his dedication and willingness to advocate for my best interests. He helped me navigate negotiations, seller credits, inspections, paperwork, and the many moving parts that come with purchasing a home. My particular transaction was far from straightforward, with unexpected delays and complications that made an already stressful experience even more challenging. Throughout it all, Jose remained committed to seeing things through and helping me reach the finish line. I also appreciated that his support didn't simply end once the paperwork was signed. He continued helping me navigate the transition into homeownership, including coordinating important HOA information after closing. That level of care and follow-through meant so much to me. Buying my first home was a major milestone, and I will always be thankful that Jose was part of that experience. His hard work, dedication, and commitment to his clients truly deserve recognition. If you're looking for a realtor who will take your homebuying journey seriously, advocate for your interests, and stand by you through the challenges, I wholeheartedly recommend Jose Padilla. Thank you so much, Jose, for helping me accomplish something that means so much to me. I am officially a homeowner, and I couldn't be more grateful!”
“Casey did more for the sale of my home than I ever could have imagined. The market is so slow, but his recommendations and skill at filling an Open House awarded me an offer on Day one of Open House! Homes on Hillcrest were taking 2-3 months to sell and only after multiple price reductions. Our Open House was full while an Open House up the street the same day never saw a single buyer. His work ethic didn’t disappear after the initial offer either and I ended up accepting that first offer a week later at $10 over asking, that was $15k more than their initial offer. He is personable and smart with the patience of a saint. I definitely threw him a few obstacles during the sale that he made work with ease. I could not recommend any realator nor any person higher.”
“Working with JoAnna Nassar was an absolute pleasure.”
“JR did an amazing job helping me find my first home. JR was a great communicator and advocate for me. I had specific things I wanted in my first home with one of them being finding a move in ready turn key home. Once we found the property, JR put in an offer and I was luckily selected out of the other few offers the buyer had received. Despite the home buying process being quite overwhelming for me at times JR made the process absolutely seamless and painless. After the inspection of the home, we found a few issues that JR took care of quickly and negotiated with the seller all the necessary repairs that needed to be done. JR was able to negotiate with the buyer installing a new plumbing system and other fixes as well. Overall, JR did an amazing job and I will gladly use his services again for any real estate services!”
“We hired Brad and the Keyes team to help us buy a new home in Eagle Rock. We already lived in the area and had a decent idea of what we were looking for, but Brad's expertise and experience in Eagle Rock were invaluable to our home search. He showed us a range of houses at varying price points and conditions (from total fixers to turnkey) to help us get a feel for what was out there. He steered us away from homes he didn't think were a good fit and made sure we understood what it really took to take on a project. Ultimately we decided a fixer wasn't for us and he found us an incredible off market gem that we purchased. Without his expertise and relationships we would probably still be looking. The whole Keyes team was great and they really work together as a team: Annie and Josh both showed us properties on short notice when Brad wasn't available and Narine was super on top of things and communicative during escrow. Overall it was a great experience and we would hire them again!”
“I would not have been able to secure my dream property without Gary's impressive negotiation skills. He advocated for my best interests and ensured that I received an excellent deal. His expertise in real estate transactions truly sets him apart.”
“I had an excellent experience working with Ramez Daoud from Golden Eagle Properties throughout my home-buying journey. Purchasing a home is a major milestone, and I am truly grateful to have had him by my side throughout the process. Ramez was professional, supportive, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping me achieve my goal of becoming a homeowner. He made the process easier to navigate, answered my questions, and helped guide me through one of the most important decisions of my life. What I appreciated most was his commitment, patience, and willingness to help make this dream a reality. His support made a meaningful difference, and I am very thankful for all his efforts in helping me purchase my home. I highly recommend Ramez Daoud to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. If you want a real estate agent who genuinely cares about his clients and is committed to helping them reach their goals, Ramez is an excellent choice! Thank you, Ramez.”
“Leigh Hanisee represented me as Buyer's Agent in my recent purchase of a home in Lomita and I could not be more pleased. I first contacted Leigh about a Keller Williams listing. That property did not meet my requirements, but Leigh promptly followed up with three more prospects, and the third, which was not listed, and I would not have seen without Leigh, was exactly what I was looking for. I made an offer on-the-spot. The home inspections routinely required as a condition of sale or financing can require a multitude of sub-contractors and service personnel to estimate and distribute potential repairs or resolution costs between the buyer and the seller. Leigh's existing relationships with qualified subcontractors that she coordinated, absolutely facilitated the transaction and minimized delays. The elapsed time between meeting Leigh and making a successful offer to purchase was no more than two weeks. Escrow was a flawless 30 days without any issues. I've experienced over a dozen real-estate transactions and Leigh made this the smoothest, most efficient and uneventful experience I could have imagined. Leigh Hanisee, Karen Anderson, The Prestige Team and Keller Williams get my highest accolades and recommendations. Richard Berke”
“As a first time homebuyer, I was both excited and nervous about the homebuying process regardless of how much I researched and prepared. My partner and I were actually planning to wait until next year but all the stars aligned and we’re now living in our dream home, and we couldn’t have done it without Brandon! With a wealth of experience, Brandon helped make the homebuying process less daunting by thoroughly explaining each step along the way and communicating with us clearly and consistently. When we first met, we’d planned on just a house tour and Brandon was welcoming, friendly and informative without pressuring us to move our timeline. He then referred us to an open house in Castaic/Santa Clarita and as soon as we stepped in, we knew it was our forever home. We contacted Brandon immediately afterwards and he helped make it happen, working expeditiously to get our offer letter to the seller and connecting us with a trusted lender who we ultimately decided to use. And when we discovered that there was another offer on the house, Brandon advocated for us with the listing agent and guided us on how to make a competitive offer. His expertise, negotiation skills and strong business relationships were instrumental in getting our offer accepted. Soon after, we were full force with paperwork and necessary next steps. Whenever I had questions, which I had plenty of, Brandon was very responsive, patient and reassuring. He understood our needs and expectations as a first time homebuyer and delivered on that tenfold. We found the perfect home, made an offer the next day, closed in a month and now we’re all moved in! All this to say that I highly recommend Brandon as your real estate agent. He has the experience, knowledge and more than a realtor, he’s a great and kind person to help guide you on your homebuying journey.”
