Tarzana Homeowners Ask

The median sale price in Tarzana (91356) was about $1.05 million over the six months ending in late October 2026, based on closed sales tracked by Resideline. That number hides a very wide range. The middle half of sales closed between roughly $395,000 and $1.82 million, because Tarzana sales mix condos and apartments near Ventura Boulevard with large hillside homes south of it. If you want to know what your home is worth, compare it to recent sales of similar homes on your side of Ventura, not to the overall median.

According to Zillow data through August 2026, the median Tarzana home went under contract in about 44 days. About 26% of homes sold above their list price, while about 59% sold below it, and the typical home sold for about 98.6% of its asking price. In other words, buyers in Tarzana have room to negotiate, and homes that start out priced too high usually end up taking a price cut.

South of Ventura, Tarzana climbs into the Santa Monica Mountains. The streets around Braemar Country Club and the hillside neighborhoods above it have larger lots, views and more privacy, and these homes sell for well above the neighborhood median. North of Ventura, the land is flat. Homes there are mostly postwar single-family houses on standard lots, along with condos and apartments, and they sell at more accessible prices. Two homes of the same size can sell for very different amounts depending on which side of Ventura they are on.

Tarzana is part of the City of Los Angeles, so sellers usually pay two transfer taxes at closing: Los Angeles County's tax of $1.10 per $1,000 of the sale price and the City of Los Angeles tax of $4.50 per $1,000. Together that is about 0.56%, or roughly $5,900 on a $1.05 million sale. Sales over $5.4 million also owe the city's Measure ULA tax of 4% of the full price, and sales of $10.9 million or more owe 5.5%. Those thresholds apply to sales closing after June 30, 2026 and change every July. Who pays which costs can be negotiated, so confirm the details with your escrow officer.

California sellers must give buyers a Transfer Disclosure Statement describing the home's condition and a Natural Hazard Disclosure report. The hazard report shows whether the property is in a fire hazard zone, earthquake fault or landslide zone, or flood zone. Many homes in the Tarzana hills fall within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which can affect insurance costs and what buyers ask about. You can check your address on the CAL FIRE fire hazard map before you list. Iggy Khouban can help you gather these reports early so there are no surprises during escrow.
