How the figures were built

Closed residential sales from CRMLS with a close date from 2026-07-01 up to 2026-10-01 (and 2025-07-01 up to 2025-10-01 for Q3 2025), pulled November 4, 2026 through Empower's CRMLS connection. A sale counts as REO when its CRMLS special listing condition includes REO; auction listings without the REO condition are not counted. Each city pull was checked complete against its CRMLS record count. Medians over fewer than 5 REO sales are not printed. The San Fernando Valley row covers the Valley communities CRMLS carries as their own city; sales whose CRMLS city is not one of the listed cities are not included (Mission Hills returned none under its own name in either year). Days on market are as reported by CRMLS; medians of an even count are rounded to the nearest whole day or dollar. Market statistics, not an appraisal or a valuation of any property.
