What Is My Home Worth in Northridge? How to Get a Real Number (2026)

Northridge stretches from 1950s tract streets near CSUN to larger lots farther north, so one neighborhood average rarely describes any single home. Recent three-bedroom sales make that clear.

What is my home worth in Northridge? The short answer: Northridge homes sold for a median of $1,099,692 over the three months ending September 2026, but recent three-bedroom sales ran from $725,000 to about $1,300,000. Your real number comes from closed sales of homes like yours, adjusted for size, condition, permits and where your home sits in the neighborhood.

Redfin counted 120 Northridge sales in September 2026, down from 130 a year earlier. The median price fell 4.4% to $1,099,692 while the median price per square foot slipped 2.0% to $536. That is a softer year-over-year read than nearby pockets that are still rising, and another reason not to price off a single average.

Redfin rates Northridge 57 out of 100, “somewhat competitive.” The average home sells for about 2% below list price and goes pending in about 52 days, and hot homes sell around list price in about 30 days. Yet 30.7% of homes had a price cut. Buyers pay up for homes priced right and wait out the rest.

Same bedroom count, very different prices. By my math, the top and bottom sales are about $575,000 apart. Size explains part of it, but not all: the 1,641 sq ft home sold for $179,000 more than the 1,568 sq ft home, with only 73 square feet between them. Gaps like that usually come down to condition, updates, lot and location.

By my count of county assessor data for Northridge, the median recorded year built is 1960, about 46% of homes date from the 1950s and 34% from the 1960s, the median home is about 2,060 sq ft, and most homes have three or four bedrooms. Lots run larger than in much of the Valley, with a median of about 10,400 sq ft. Because so many homes share that mid-century start, what has happened to your home since matters a lot. See my Northridge neighborhood guide for more on the area.

Zillow says its nationwide median error is about 1.77% for homes on the market and 7.21% for off-market homes, and that unreported additions, updates and remodels aren’t reflected. By my math, a 7.21% miss on the $1,099,692 median would be about $79,288, in either direction.

A model can’t see whether your addition was permitted or your kitchen is from 1960. For more on how agents build a price, see how a CMA helps price a home.

With homes selling at a median 98.4% of list and nearly one in three taking a price cut, aiming high can cost you time. The homes that draw serious offers are usually priced in line with recent sales of similar homes.

A home that sits often ends up with a price cut, and buyers notice. I would rather agree on a range with you and list at a price that brings buyers in early. For selling costs in this pocket of the Valley, see my guide to what it costs to sell in Northridge, Granada Hills and Porter Ranch.
