TL;DR: Closing out September 2025, Santa Clarita Valley boasts 717 active listings from Canyon Country to Valencia, with 80% of recent ones entering escrow in 30 days. Prices dipped 5-6% year-over-year, Fed rate cuts hint at mortgage relief, and 13 coming soon properties offer insider edges. Avoid syndication sites' data traps—choose data-driven agents for safe buys/sells. Why watch? This market surge could mean big opportunities before shifts hit.Hey everyone, Connor MacIvor here—your straight-shooting guide to Santa Clarita real estate. As a Realtor (CALDRE 01238257) with roots in high-stakes LAPD work (think motor cop precision translating to market navigation), I'm all about clear, no-fluff insights to help you make smart moves without the drama. In this video, we're diving into the September 30, 2025, market wrap-up: A whopping 717 active listings across Santa Clarita Valley cities, covering everything from cozy Canyon Country spots to upscale Valencia estates and beyond.Why should you care about 717 actives as a buyer or seller? It's a sweet spot—enough inventory to give options without crashing prices, but moving so fast that hesitation could cost you. Over the last 30 days, 80% of new listings got scooped into escrow within that window. Properties are flying off shelves, signaling strong demand even as we see a modest 5-6% price reduction from last year. Not every home is identical, of course—factors like size, location, and type play in—but this dip could translate to real savings if you jump in now.Let's talk Fed funds rate cuts: They dropped recently, but mortgages tie more to the 10-year bond, so we're seeing tweaks, not overhauls. With two more Fed meetings this year, why wait? Lower rates could ease borrowing, pulling more buyers in and potentially reversing that price softness. From patrolling streets to spotting market trends, I've learned timing is everything—don't let rates or inventory shifts catch you off guard.Coming soon listings? Goldmine alert: 13 on deck right now, from 2-bedroom starters to 6-bedroom beasts. These previews give you a leg up before they hit the masses, but you won't find them on big syndication sites like Zillow. Why avoid those? They're monetized around your data—search once, and ads stalk you forever. No anonymity there. Stick with local pros who share real intel organically. If you're hunting, hit up your agent or check SantaClaritaComingSoon.com for direct alerts. Tell me your prefs, and I'll send them—no data sales, just value.Selecting an agent?

TL;DR: In this raw, no-BS breakdown, Connor MacIvor (ex-LAPD, Realtor CALDRE 01238257, AI investigator) exposes the massive water thirst of AI data centers—up to 12M gallons/day per gigawatt facility. From Marie Antoinette analogies to WUE metrics, cooling tech (open vs. closed loops, immersion), city water comparisons, salt water hurdles, and game-changers like room temperature superconductors. Practical fixes for businesses, families, and real estate pros to demand transparency and efficiency before it's a crisis. As a Gen X'er who's lost 135lbs via fasting and built AI systems, I cut through the hype—AI can save us, but not if it dries us out first.Dive into the hidden water crisis powering the AI boom. History's Marie Antoinette said "let them eat cake" to the starving—today, it's like leaders saying "let them drink Diet Coke" while data centers guzzle millions of gallons for cooling. This video unpacks Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE): total gallons used divided by kWh of server energy. Lower WUE means smarter water use. A 1GW center (1M kW) over 24 hours? That's 24M kWh—at 1.9 gallons/kWh, 45.6M gallons/day (high end). Efficient designs drop to 0.7 gallons/kWh, around 16.8M gallons/day.We compare to cities: 12M gallons/day is 2.8% of LA's 426M, 1% of NYC's 1.1B, 4-6% of Phoenix's 200-300M, a huge chunk of SF's tens of millions. Scaling to 10GW? 120M gallons/day. 1TW? 12B gallons—rivaling entire regions. But is the water "lost"? Mostly evaporates, potentially recyclable via clouds, but local impact matters in drought zones.Cooling methods decoded: Open systems (cooling towers) spray and evaporate—water-heavy. Closed loops recirculate with radiators—low water. Immersion submerges servers in non-evaporative fluid—near zero water. Cost trade-off: Cheap = water-inefficient; expensive = efficient. Salt water? Abundant but corrosive, fouling-prone, pricey to filter, with discharge rules—hybrids exist but tough.Future hope: Room temperature superconductors carry electricity zero-resistance at ambient temps—no waste heat, slashing cooling needs. But rollout challenges: Patent wars, retrofit costs, like curing a disease but losing pharma profits. Power side: Fossil fuels quick, nuclear cleaner but slow—Elon-style speed needed.Silence from operators on WUE? Push for reporting, mandate efficient cooling (closed/immersion/hybrids), recycled water, superconductor R&D. As someone who's patrolled LAPD streets, sold Santa Clarita homes, and adopted AI early, I'm telling it straight: We solve this with transparency, not bans.

Santa Clarita Real Estate Market Update – September 3, 2025Welcome back! I'm Connor MacIvor, your Realtor with Honor (CALDRE 01238257) at SantaClaritaOpenHouses.com, bringing you today's deep dive into what's really happening across the Santa Clarita Valley housing market. Whether you're eyeing Valencia's Paseos, Canyon Country's rolling hills, Saugus's family neighborhoods, or anywhere in greater Los Angeles, this video is your go-to source for smart, actionable insight.Market SnapshotOver the last seven days, Santa Clarita recorded 55 closed sales, averaging ~7 per day. Closings ranged from a $314,000 condo in Valencia to a $1.69M Westridge SFR. The median closed price is ~$760,000, with the average at ~$818,000—slightly below August's $930,000 median due to contract lag.By area:Valencia: 22 closings (40%), ~$950,000 avg.Canyon Country: 14 closings (25%), ~$650,000 avg.Saugus: 9 closings, ~$800,000 avg.Others: Newhall, Castaic, Acton, Agua Dulce steady with 1–3 closings each.Inventory is rising: 87 new listings this week, pushing active homes to ~760, a multi-year high. That's up 10% YoY, tilting the market toward buyers with more leverage and more choice.Days on Market (DOM)Homes are now sitting 73–77 days on average, nearly double last year. Family buyers slow activity during the school year, especially in districts like William S. Hart. For sellers, this means pricing right and staging matter more than ever. For buyers, longer DOM creates 5–10% negotiation opportunities.Seasonal ShiftWe're entering the fall-winter season, historically 20–30% quieter than summer. Holidays pull focus, but serious sellers and buyers win: faster escrows, better concessions, and less competition.Mortgage RatesRelief is here. The 30-year fixed sits near 6.46%, the lowest in 10 months, down from 7% earlier in 2025. On an $800,000 loan, dropping from 7% to 6.5% saves ~$300/month. Another Fed cut could push rates toward 6.1–6.5% by year-end, freeing move-up buyers from “golden handcuffs.”Insurance Crisis – Don't Skip ThisAs I stressed in my recent blog and YouTube Short, California's insurance crisis is Youtube Channels:Conner with Honor - real estateHome Muscle - fat torchingFrom first responder to real estate expert, Connor with Honor brings honesty and integrity to your Santa Clarita home buying or selling journey.

THE VIBE with Kelly Cardenas presents CHRIS CARDENAS - CARDENAS LEGACY TEQUILAChris CardenasPresident & FounderOriginally from Southern California Chris moved often, splitting his time between California and New Mexico, where his paternal family is originally from. After migrating up to Northern California for high school and college, he made the life-changing decision to join the US Air Force, where he served as an Aerospace Propulsion Specialist for over 4 years and called Alaska his home for the next 17.While living in Alaska, an opportunity arose for him to pursue his dream of being involved in the music industry. He became a concert promoter for indie bands such as Portugal the Man, Daughtry, 3OH3, Falling in Reverse, Fuel, Lit, and many more. It is there he met who would eventually become his wife, and took Chris south of the border to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Now, the big question: Why Tequila?Like many of us, Chris' experience with drinking low-quality, high-additive tequila was not a good one. However, while living in Mexico for over 3 years and becoming immersed in the culture, he took the time to learn the art of making a high-quality sipping tequila that was truly enjoyable.In 2017, Chris decided to retire from the music industry and relocate his family to Santa Clarita, CA. As a thank you to all his music industry supporters, he wanted to offer a quality tequila personalized and branded with his promotion company logo, Anger MGMT. He found a company in Guadalajara, Mexico that not only made the bottles but introduced him to what would eventually become the journey to his own tequila brand.Upon tasting that tequila, Chris was convinced this was what he was meant to do. Finding who made this amazing tequila was not an easy task, but after months of missing leads and relentless persistence, he was introduced to Francisco Gonzalez Jr, currently our master distiller and member of one of the most prestigious families in the tequila world. This is how Cardenas Legacy Tequila was born.Chris now resides in Santa Clarita, CA, with his wife and their three daughters, the oldest is currently attending the Coast Guard Academy. Chris combines his airline job and his passion for premium tequila by educating and sharing Cardenas Legacy Tequila with the world.

In the early morning hours of July 22, 1987, a motorist came across a black Cadillac that had crashed into a telephone pole on a secluded road in Santa Clarita, California. When police were called to the scene, they found two unresponsive young women inside the car. The driver, who was later identified as 45-year-old […] The post A Dangerous Mind: Robert Peernock appeared first on Tiegrabber.

In this solo episode, host Corey Nathan shares a personal story that explores a fundamental question many of us face in political and relational discourse: “Do you want to be right, or do you want the relationship?” Prompted by a real-life interaction following his attendance at a local rally, Corey examines how we navigate our convictions, the costs of being “right,” and the cognitive, identity-based, and psychological roots that underlie our desire to win arguments—especially at the expense of connection.  What Is Discussed: The real story behind a tense political exchange among friends. The importance of prioritizing relationships over ideological victory. Key psychological and sociological reasons why people insist on being right. How identity, ego, and group affiliation shape our perceptions in political dialogue. Thoughtful strategies to promote civil discourse, even across ideological lines. Episode Highlights: [00:03:00] Corey describes the No Kings Rally in Santa Clarita and his motivation for attending. [00:05:00] A group text spirals into conflict after a friend posts a divisive meme about Democrats. [00:07:00] Corey challenges the assumptions being made and asserts his conservative identity. [00:10:00] The text conversation intensifies—Corey confronts the damaging generalizations. [00:13:00] He reflects on the absence of actual conversation and the importance of listening. [00:20:00] Corey shares research on cognitive biases like confirmation bias and bandwagon effect. [00:24:00] A powerful explanation of identity protective cognition and how it affects discourse. [00:29:00] The psychological roots of being “right”: ego, fear, insecurity, and narcissism. [00:31:00] A parable of two billy goats illustrates the cost of refusing to give ground. Featured Quotes: “Do you want to be right, or do you want the relationship?” “The endeavor that I care about is people exercising their First Amendment rights.” “If we were actually talking, you'd know this isn't even in my top 50 concerns.” “We don't need to diminish others to hold our convictions.”

It's our Fourth of July special, and we're celebrating the star-spangled stupidity that makes America so uniquely… itself. This week, Trevin opens up about his personal struggles with 2025, leading to an honest and heartfelt conversation about mental health, burnout, and the complicated relationship many of us have with our country. Amanda brings a classic summer dilemma after taking her family to the public pool—where heat, chaos, and slippery surfaces turn a fun outing into a logistical nightmare. In our killer facts segment, Amanda puts her new diamond knowledge to use with a deep dive into the curse of the Hope Diamond and the trail of misfortune it's said to leave behind. Meanwhile, Trevin spotlights one of the most stomach-churning facts we've ever featured, focusing on a bizarre and disturbing chapter of American history with Stubbins Ffirth—a man whose dedication to science went a little too far. Then it's time for our petty crime stories, both tied to the Fourth of July and the theme of arson. Amanda brings what may be Live, Laugh, Larceny's first truly traditional Independence Day tale, featuring fireworks, small-town chaos, and a search for the celebratory culprits in Santa Clarita. Trevin rounds things out with the story of Brianna Baird, a woman from Bussey, Iowa, whose drug-fueled night of political rage led to a fiery spree involving multiple stolen American flags. Whether you're celebrating, questioning the system, or just here for some explosive pettiness, this episode is a blazing tribute to the weirdest parts of American independence.

On today's episode I have actor Jesse Posey! I've had the honor of getting the know Jesse over the past few months while moderating panels and Q&A's for the film "Screamboat" that Jesse is one of the stars of. I was intrigued to know more about Jesse's career and growing up in an acting family and was thrilled to have him join me on the podcast.  I talked with Jesse about growing up in Santa Clarita, playing baseball and skateboarding as kid, finding his way into acting, what he's learned from watching his dad and brother's careers, how he approaches acting, acting in the "Selena" series, his upcoming project The Midnight Sector, and so much more! A huge Thank You for Jesse Posey for taking the time to join me on the podcast! It was so great getting to know more about his career. Make sure to follow Jesse on all of the links at www.onthemicpodcast.com and if you haven't yet, go watch him in "Screamboat"! Thanks, Jesse! Enjoy the episode!
