Holiday Buyers Are Dead Serious (Santa Clarita Market Heat Check with Connor with Honor)

October 28, 2025 • Connor with Honor - MacIVOR

Santa Clarita is not cooling off. 🔥 As we close out October 2025, we’re watching 60-70 homes a week hit the Santa Clarita Valley market… and about the same number go under contract or close. That means inventory is basically getting absorbed as fast as it appears. Translation: this is still a competitive, high-intent market — even heading straight into Thanksgiving and Christmas. 🦃🎄

In this episode, I’m going to tell you the truth about how to move in this market without getting played.

For BUYERS 🏡
Your first step is not “let’s go see houses.” Your first step is loan strategy. We break down how to line up the right financing for YOU:
– Conventional with less than 20% down
– FHA with ~3.5% down ✅
– USDA in specific areas with almost nothing down if the property qualifies 🌄
– How seller and lender contributions actually work 💵
It’s round peg, round hole. You can’t just throw an offer out and hope. You have to match the loan product to the actual property profile or you lose to someone who did. We also talk about offer structure: how to come in strong on Day 1 and beat competing buyers without lighting money on fire. ⚔️

For SELLERS 🔑
Price isn’t the full story. Presentation, timing, and matching the way buyers are behaving in your sub-market is everything. If you’re listing during the holidays, understand this: anyone willing to interrupt their Thanksgiving week or drag a Christmas tree around showings is serious. Those are real buyers and real sellers. That is leverage — if you know how to use it. 💪

You’re also going to hear why every smart seller needs a sit-down strategy session before going live, and why buyers who “just want to look around first” are the ones who get beat.

I’m Connor with Honor. I work Santa Clarita, I watch every number, and I don’t do scripts.
