"Sale price vs. original list" is the median of each home's closing price divided by the price it was first listed at. Communities with fewer than 150 sales, such as Stevenson Ranch, move more from one quarter to the next, so treat their figures as a guide.
Do Santa Clarita homes sell below asking?
Yes. About 61% of homes sold for less than their original list price, and 39% had at least one list-price cut before closing. The gap between the first asking price and the closing price was small for the median home (1.6%), but it grew steadily with time on market.

| 61+ days | 730 | 94.5% | 93% | 83% |
Homes that sold in the first two weeks closed at the original list price or above for the median sale. Homes that sat 61 days or more closed at a median 94.5% of where they started, and 83% of them had cut the price along the way.
How does price range change the timeline?
Homes between $800,000 and $1 million sold fastest, at a median 22 days, and the lowest price band took the longest.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under $600,000 | 523 | 45 | 97.4% | 70% | 48% |

What does this mean for pricing your home?
The first two weeks matter most. The homes that sold within 14 days almost never needed a price cut (2%), while more than eight in ten of the homes that took 61 days or longer did. Pricing at what the market will pay from day one tends to cost less than starting high and coming down. For more on this, read Patience Won't Sell Your House, Pricing Will.
