Robbyn Battles presents your December Market at a Glance. As a lifelong La Crescenta, Montrose, and Glendale area resident and a Realtor with more than 35 years of experience, I focus on the numbers that actually matter to homeowners, buyers, and sellers making real decisions. This report compares December to November activity across La Cañada Flintridge, La Crescenta-Montrose, Sunland-Tujunga, Shadow Hills, Glendale 91208, and introduces Lakeview Terrace as we head into 2026.

Looking ahead to 2026
The phone is already ringing from homeowners thinking about selling in 2026, and contracts are already signed for listings coming to market at the end of January. Some sellers are wondering if they should move quickly, while others are asking if holding back makes more sense.
Every situation is different. I am always happy to talk through your timing, your goals, and what these market shifts could mean specifically for you. I am only a phone call or an email away.
