About
Chris Habitz is a seasoned commercial real estate professional with deep expertise in multifamily investment properties throughout the Santa Clarita Valley. Operating under CRH Realty Group in partnership with Howard Realty Group Inc., Chris provides institutional-quality market analysis and transaction advisory services to buyers, sellers, and investors across the Santa Clarita submarket.
With a focus on 5–25 unit apartment buildings in Newhall, Canyon Country, Valencia, and Stevenson Ranch, Chris brings granular submarket knowledge that most Los Angeles brokers simply cannot match. Every engagement starts with thorough due diligence — comparable sales, rent roll analysis, regulatory review (AB 1482, RSO, ADU potential), and honest pricing counsel.
Chris's current exclusive listings — 24522 Chestnut Street in Newhall and 17717 Scherzinger Lane in Canyon Country — represent a combined 16-unit, $5.6 million portfolio with immediate income, significant rent upside, and multiple value-add paths.
Market Expertise
Why Santa Clarita Valley
The Santa Clarita Valley is one of the most defensible multifamily markets in Los Angeles County. High household incomes ($114K+ average), low unemployment, a growing healthcare and entertainment employer base, and persistent undersupply of rental product combine to create a submarket that consistently outperforms the broader LA metro on occupancy and rent stability.
Chris has tracked every multifamily trade in the valley over the past several years, giving his clients a precise read on actual market pricing — not just listing data — and the operational insight to underwrite post-acquisition performance with confidence.
