SCV Inventory Up 200 Homes, Rates Climbing, Buyers Hesitating — May 17, 2026 The Santa Clarita Valley real estate update for Saturday, May 17, 2026. Why inventory is climbing, why absorption is stuck, and what sellers must do right now to protect their eq

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here! Santa Clarita Valley real estate update for Saturday, May 17, 2026. In this episode: Inventory in SCV has climbed by roughly 200 active listings over the last two months. Absorption rate has barely moved since the end of 2025. Mortgage rates are creeping up because the 10-year bond is shaky on the back of global instability, oil prices, and a wait-and-see Fed posture. For BUYERS in a hot pocket: the no-contingency game is mostly dead in SCV right now. A few years ago we saw buyers waive everything to win. Today, smart buyers are keeping their investigation period. Hear why removing all contingencies is a sticky place to be — and what to ask your agent if they're pushing you that way. For SELLERS: the #1 mistake right now is the wrong valuation strategy. Typing your address into Zillow, Redfin, or Realtor.com triggers automated AI surveillance — your property becomes a target for marketing systems before you've even decided to list. Hear the smarter way to get a real valuation from a local agent who represents SELLERS ONLY. 🏠 SELLERS — Get the full breakdown plus the $17,000 fixed fee math: https://sellersonlyagent.com 📊 Full daily SCV market intelligence: https://scv123.com/blog 📞 Direct: 661-400-1720 WHY SELLERS ONLY AGENT: $17,000 all-in fixed fee.
