What Are Woodland Hills Homes Actually Selling For in 2026?

What are Woodland Hills homes actually selling for in 2026?

The median sale price in Woodland Hills was $1,260,642 in August 2026, up 3.0 percent from a year earlier, according to Redfin's Woodland Hills housing market page. The typical home took 46 days to sell and closed at 99.3 percent of its list price. Redfin also shows the price per square foot at $575 over the three months, down 7.9 percent. Prices rose while the cost per foot fell, which tells you the mix of what sold matters as much as the market itself.

That is the catch with a Woodland Hills median. It blends condos, townhomes, and houses into one number, and the neighborhood has plenty of all three. If you are pricing a single-family house, a median of $1.26 million is the wrong yardstick. This spotlight looks at the seven house sales with confirmed closing dates on Redfin's records instead, and says plainly what they can and cannot tell you.

The dated house sales

Redfin's Woodland Hills recently sold page and its ZIP 91367 recently sold page show these closings with dates, between June and September 2026. I calculated the price per square foot myself from the listed price and living area.

The middle price of the seven is $1,900,000, well above the neighborhood-wide median, because these are houses and the median is not. Four of the seven sit within a narrow band of about $736 to $875 per square foot, which is the kind of clustering a seller can actually use. The two outliers on the low side, County Oak Road and the September Ellenview sale, are larger homes by square footage, and larger homes usually trade at a lower rate per foot. The public record does not show lot size, year built, or condition, so I would not read more into either figure than that.

A fair caution on sample size: seven sales is a small window for a neighborhood this size, and they cluster on a handful of streets. Redfin's pages list dozens more Woodland Hills sales, up to about $4.2 million, but most carry no closing date, so I left them out rather than guess when they happened.

What the comps say about the market

The June closings ran from about $2.06 million to $2.45 million, while the August and September closings ran from $1.3 million to $1.8 million. That looks like a cooling, but the sample is too thin to call it one. The later sales are smaller or differently configured homes, and the September Ellenview sale at roughly $414 per foot suggests a house that needed work or sat on a different lot. Redfin's own sale-to-list figure of 99.3 percent in August points to homes selling close to asking, not far above or below it.

For a seller, the working rule is to price from closed sales on your own street and in your own condition tier, then adjust for lot and renovation. If you want that analysis done for a specific house, you can request a confidential valuation for your Woodland Hills home, and we will build it from closings that match. For a buyer, a 46-day median and a sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent suggest room to negotiate on a house that has sat, while a well-priced one will still draw attention. Our buyer resources explain the California contract timeline and what each contingency removal means.

The Warner Center factor

Woodland Hills sits next to Warner Center, a master-planned business district that covers about 1,100 acres in the Woodland Hills and Canoga Park areas, per Wikipedia's Warner Center entry. The Los Angeles City Council adopted the Warner Center 2035 Plan in December 2013, and it anticipates substantial additional office space, housing units, and jobs by 2035. Plans take years to shape a market, so treat that as background for the long view, not a reason to price a house today.

Fire risk and insurance

Redfin's climate section rates Woodland Hills' wildfire exposure as moderate, with 74 percent of properties showing some risk over the next 30 years, and its flood exposure as minor. Those are modeled estimates for the whole neighborhood, not a statement about one parcel. A buyer should check the property's Fire Hazard Severity Zone status and get an insurance quote before removing contingencies, because coverage terms vary by address.

Measure ULA and these price levels

Woodland Hills is inside the City of Los Angeles, so Measure ULA applies on sales above the city's thresholds. According to the Los Angeles Office of Finance, transactions closing after June 30, 2026 are taxed at 4 percent above $5,400,000 and 5.5 percent at $10,900,000 and above, and the thresholds are adjusted annually. All seven dated sales above closed well under $5.4 million, so the tax did not apply to any of them. Sellers pricing an estate-level property should model net proceeds against the current thresholds before listing.
