What's My Calabasas Home Worth in April 2026? A Data-Driven Answer for Luxury Sellers
By Nathaniel Pitchon-Getzels | The Getzels Group | April 18, 2026
In April 2026, the Calabasas luxury market is rewarding precision and punishing hesitation. If you own a significant home here, you deserve to know exactly where values stand, neighborhood by neighborhood, before you make any decision.
It is the question I receive more than any other. A homeowner in The Oaks, someone who has lived on their acre of gated, manicured property for a decade, picks up the phone or sends a quiet email asking some version of the same thing: Nathaniel, what do you think my home is worth right now?
It is a deceptively simple question with a deeply nuanced answer, especially this spring, when the Calabasas market is behaving in ways that surprise even seasoned owners. What you read in general market headlines does not apply to your $4.5 million estate the same way it applies to a $900,000 condo in Reseda. The data is different. The buyer is different. The strategy is entirely different.
This post gives you the real numbers. Q1 2026 market data, neighborhood by neighborhood price per square foot breakdowns, days on market, sale to list ratios, and the strategic context you need to make a confident, unhurried decision about your most significant asset. No filler. No generic advice. Just the data and what it means for you.

THE CALABASAS MARKET IN Q1 2026: WHAT THE NUMBERS ACTUALLY SAY
Let us start with the market wide context before drilling into neighborhoods.
Those numbers tell a layered story. On the surface, the median sold price appears to show softening, down approximately 7% year over year from January 2025. But that headline figure is misleading if you own a luxury estate, and here is exactly why. The median is dragged down by mid market inventory that has accumulated and been repriced. The upper end of the Calabasas market, properties priced above $3.5 million, is telling a completely different story.
In January 2026 alone, a single $14.2 million sale lifted the average Calabasas transaction price to $2,961,018 for the month. That one sale tells you something important. Ultra luxury buyers are still active, still writing large checks, and still finding compelling reasons to be here. They are not waiting for rate cuts. They are not spooked by inflation. They are looking for the right asset, positioned correctly, represented by someone who understands them.
The more telling data point is the 96% sale to list ratio. Correctly positioned, professionally marketed homes are still achieving near asking price. The problem, and this is the variable that separates a strong result from a painful one, is that incorrectly priced homes are lingering.
In 2025, the average Calabasas home sold in 38 days. In Q1 2026, that number stretched to 74 days for homes that required price corrections. When a luxury property sits beyond 60 days in a market like Calabasas, it develops what I call DOM stigma. Sophisticated buyers begin to wonder what is wrong with it, and all pricing leverage shifts entirely to the buyer's side of the table.
The takeaway for a Calabasas seller in April 2026: the market is not broken, but it is completely unforgiving of imprecision.
PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT BY NEIGHBORHOOD: WHERE YOUR HOME SITS ON THE VALUE MAP
Calabasas is not one market. It is a collection of micro markets, each with distinct buyer profiles, security amenities, architectural character, and price per square foot dynamics. Where your home falls within this map is one of the single most important variables in determining its current value and its correct list price.
THE OAKS OF CALABASAS
Price Per Square Foot: $1,060 to $1,120
Median Sale Price: approximately $6,000,000
Active Listing Range: $4.6M to $15.5M+
The Oaks is in a category entirely its own. As Calabasas's only fully gated, 24 hour guard staffed private community, it commands a premium over every other neighborhood in the city, and that premium has not only held, it has grown. The Zillow home value index for The Oaks currently sits at approximately $4.9 million, with recent median sale prices tracking near $6 million and price per square foot at $1,060 to $1,120. Active listings range from $4.6 million for a refined 4,600 square foot home to over $15 million for rare compound scale estates.
For Oaks sellers, the key insight is this. The buyer pool here is intentional and informed. They are not browsing casually. They are comparing your property against a very short, very specific list of comparable sales, and they are paying for privacy, 24 hour security, community prestige, and architectural quality above all else. This is a neighborhood where an off market strategy, pre qualified buyer outreach, and absolute discretion often outperform a traditional public MLS launch.

THE VINEYARDS
Price Per Square Foot: $820 to $950
Typical Sales Range: $2.8M to $5.5M
The Vineyards sits at the upper tier of Calabasas's semi gated communities, offering larger lots, significant architectural diversity, and a buyer profile that skews heavily toward entertainment industry principals, business owners, and executives who want genuine space and privacy without The Oaks price floor. Homes here have consistently sold in the $3M to $5.5M range, with well updated estates on strong view lots commanding the upper end of the price per square foot range. Renovation vintage and lot orientation, canyon facing versus street adjacent, create meaningful value differentials here that a purely automated valuation will miss entirely.
PARK ESTATES AND CALABASAS PARK
Price Per Square Foot: $740 to $870
Typical Sales Range: $2.2M to $4.5M
Park Estates and the broader Calabasas Park corridor offer some of the most competitively priced luxury square footage in the market, and some of the widest variance in value. Two homes of identical square footage on the same street can trade at a $600,000 to $800,000 differential based on lot positioning, renovation quality, street visibility, and view. This neighborhood attracts serious buyers who want 4,500 to 6,500 square feet of genuinely livable luxury at a more accessible price point than The Oaks. Strategic pricing is especially critical here because the buyer pool is knowledgeable and alternatives are plentiful.
MULWOOD AND CALABASAS HILLS
Price Per Square Foot: $700 to $820
Typical Sales Range: $1.6M to $3.2M
Mulwood and Calabasas Hills represent the entry point into the Calabasas luxury market, and they remain the most liquid segment, meaning correctly priced homes here move faster than anywhere else in the city. The Zillow home value index for Calabasas Hills currently sits at approximately $1,758,305. A well maintained, thoughtfully updated home on a quiet cul de sac still commands a meaningful premium over the broader San Fernando Valley. However, overpricing here is punished most quickly because the comparison set for buyers is widest. The margin between a great outcome and a frustrating one is almost entirely determined by the initial list price.
Not sure which tier your property falls into? The answer matters significantly. A home that is miscategorized in its marketing reaches the wrong buyers at the wrong price expectation with the wrong narrative.

WHAT THE 96% SALE TO LIST RATIO IS REALLY TELLING YOU
This is the number I want every Calabasas homeowner considering a sale to understand before they talk to anyone.
The 96% sale to list ratio is encouraging, but it comes with a critical asterisk. That 96% applies to homes that were correctly priced from day one. It does not apply to the approximately 70% of active Calabasas listings that have already taken a price reduction.
Those homes achieving 88 to 91% absorbed one or more price cuts before finding a buyer. Run the math on a $4 million property
