Welcome to Santa Clarita Real Estate Insights, where Connor MacIvor, your First Responder Realtor, brings you a daily, no-nonsense look at the Santa Clarita Valley market. Today’s episode tackles an essential, often overlooked aspect of real estate success—why it’s crucial for your agent to make that all-important call before showing a property.

This episode covers the current 7-day Santa Clarita market snapshot, with updates on new listings, price changes, and more. But we go deeper than numbers; we explore why communication and strategy play critical roles in buying or selling your home. Discover the behind-the-scenes reasons agents should be contacting listing agents before showings—like learning about contingencies, understanding seller motivations, and ensuring you’re not walking into surprises. It’s about more than setting up a viewing; it’s about protecting your interests and gaining a competitive edge in the market.

Connor also dives into national real estate trends and their local impacts. With first-time homebuyer activity at a 43-year low, how are things shaping up in Santa Clarita? What do recent antitrust settlements around commission structures mean for you as a buyer or seller? And how are rising insurance premiums, especially in wildfire-prone California, influencing local affordability? Connor answers these questions and more, giving you a practical, expert lens on how macro trends are affecting your backyard.

Connor wraps up with essential insights into the role of technology in today’s real estate landscape. From AI-driven property valuations to predictive tools, technological advancements are shaping real estate. He highlights how the right agent leverages these tools for smarter, more accurate transactions.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply staying informed, this episode equips you with insider knowledge to make the best decisions. Connor’s approach is grounded in trust, transparency, and years of experience as a first responder, making him the realtor you can count on in Santa Clarita.
