The Santa Clarita Valley’s single-family home prices tumbled in September to their lowest mark in nine months, and condominium prices hit a trough not seen since September 2002, according to figures from the Southland Regional Association of Realtors.

 

Far fewer previously owned single-family homes changed hand in September (164) than in August (222), which was the busiest month of the year for local Realtors. Year over year, September closings were only slightly off the pace of the 167 recorded in September 2010.
