If you've looked up "Granada Hills home prices" and gotten three different answers from three different websites, you're not losing your mind. I see the same thing every week pulling comps for clients. Here's what the actual closed sales data shows right now, in plain language, plus why the number on your phone rarely matches what a home really sells for.

I've been selling real estate in the San Fernando Valley for over 20 years, including plenty of escrows right here in Granada Hills, and the neighborhood has always priced a little differently than people expect. The lot sizes vary more than most buyers realize, and that alone can swing a sale price by six figures.

Why Zillow, Redfin, and RealtyTrac Show Different Prices

Zillow's home value estimate (the ZHVI) for Granada Hills currently sits at $1,003,229, up a modest 0.7% over the past year. That's a computer-modeled estimate of typical value across the whole area, not an actual closed sale. Zillow's own median sale price, the number from homes that really closed, was $1,004,167 as of the end of May 2026, with a median list price of $1,124,250 a month later. Those two numbers alone, list versus sold, tell you buyers are negotiating meaningfully off the asking price before anything closes.

RealtyTrac's 12-month view of zip code 91344 shows a median sold price closer to $1,064,905, with listing prices down slightly (about 0.43%) and sold prices down about 4.56% over the same period. Movoto's more recent snapshot, reflecting July 2026 closings, puts the median sale price at $997,000. None of these sources are wrong. They're built from different months, different sample sizes, and sometimes different property types. Granada Hills sells maybe 130 to 140 homes in a typical month, which is a small enough sample that one street of larger homes closing can move the median tens of thousands of dollars in either direction.

The honest summary: expect the real number for a specific home to land somewhere in the high $900,000s to a bit past $1.06 million, and treat any single website's number as a starting point for a conversation, not the final answer.

How Long Homes Are Sitting on the Market

Granada Hills homes are taking about 48 days to sell on average right now, up from roughly 37 days a year ago. That's close to a 30% increase in how long a well-priced home typically sits, which lines up with what's happening across most of the San Fernando Valley as mortgage rates keep buyers more cautious.

Inventory tells an interesting story depending on how you measure it. Looking at the full 12-month picture for zip code 91344, active listings have roughly tripled, from about 270 homes a year ago to more than 700 at points this year. Right now, a snapshot of the live market shows about 132 homes actively for sale. Both numbers are accurate. They're just measuring different windows, a full year of listing activity versus today's live count, which is exactly the kind of detail that makes two "current" market reports look like they disagree when they don't.

Sales volume has held up reasonably well through all of this. About 136 homes sold in July 2026, only modestly down from 144 the year before. That's not a market in trouble. It's a market where buyers have more to choose from and more time to decide, which changes how sellers need to price and market a home, but it isn't a crash by any measure.

What's Actually Driving Prices Street to Street

Granada Hills sits at the foothills of the Santa Susana Mountains, and that geography creates more price variation than most buyers expect from one neighborhood. Lots near O'Melveny Park, the second largest park in the entire city of Los Angeles at 672 acres, tend to command a premium for the quiet and the views. The streets around Knollwood Country Club carry their own premium too, especially homes actually backing the golf course.

Then there's the housing stock itself. Granada Hills has a lot of original mid-century ranch homes on generously sized lots, many still with their 1960s kitchens and bathrooms. A completely original 1,800 square foot ranch home and a fully remodeled one on the same street, with the same square footage and the same lot size, can easily sell $150,000 to $250,000 apart. That gap is almost entirely about the kitchen, the bathrooms, and whether the systems (roof, electrical, plumbing) have been updated, not about the location at all.

School boundaries matter here too. Granada Hills Charter High School has a strong academic reputation (it's a repeat national Academic Decathlon champion), and homes zoned for it often see steadier demand than comparable homes just outside the boundary. If you're comparing two "Granada Hills" listings and the prices don't make sense to you, the school boundary line is one of the first things I'd check.

Is Granada Hills a Buyer's or Seller's Market Right Now?

If you're selling: with days on market up nearly a third from last year and inventory way up on a 12-month view, pricing accurately from day one matters more than it has in a few years. Just over half of homes are still selling at or above list price, so a well-priced, well-presented home in good condition is not struggling. An overpriced one, though, will sit and start collecting price-drop history that buyers can see.

If you're buying: you have more selection and more time than buyers had two or three years ago. With rates around 6.65%, run your numbers before you fall for a listing photo, and don't assume the Zestimate reflects what a seller will actually accept, especially on an unrenovated home where the seller may be pricing based on a remodeled neighbor's sale.

If you're just watching: the honest read is that Granada Hills has held its value better than some neighboring areas this year, with prices closer to flat than falling. That's consistent with the school boundary and the larger lots giving it a bit more staying power than some of the more commodity-style condo and townhome markets nearby.
