One day after the Nov. 4 election, retiring U.S. Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon’s Santa Clarita Valley home showed up for sale on the local Multiple Listing Service.
The single-family house in the 27000 block of Timberline Terrace in Valencia-Westridge is advertised for $1.2 million through Mike Lebecki, a Realtor with RE/MAX of Valencia.
McKeon and wife Patricia purchased the 4-bedroom, 3,539-square-foot home new in December 2003 from developer Centex. In 2007 the couple transferred it to their family trust.
Previously they had lived on Joyce Place in Stevenson Ranch. They sold that home in August 2002.
The Westridge home is believed to be McKeon’s only residence in the Santa Clarita Valley.
The property listing comes on the heels of the vote to decide McKeon’s successor in Congress. The 11-term congressman returns to Washington for a lame-duck session that ends in December; then his 25th Congressional District seat will go to Palmdale Sen. Steve Knight.
Where that leaves Knight’s Senate seat has yet to be determined, Knight said, adding that he’d be surprised if there were an appointment.

I wouldn’t blame him if he left California
1.2 mil and a backyard that is smaller than the front. what a great deal…said no one ever
That doesn’t look like a 1.2 mil home?
Suckers! Would only pay that much $ for this house
Welcome to Westridge, thus another reason I wouldn’t blame him if he left CA
Is the 1.2 to watch your neighbors… Does it have a slide. An Elevator
That’s a steal in Valencia
That house is worth 309K. 8675-309 niner
Said who? Zillow? Trulia? Hehe!
Kingman Az., Arizona’s secret..
Frank Rosas what you think about this
Who the hell cares???
Don’t let the door hit you on the ass, Buck.
I used to live next door to him when he lived in Stevenson ranch :)
Very similar house in north upland listed for 680,000 sold for 675,000
Yes, but it’s in Upland…
No difference upland real estate is worth more…
1.2 mil??? Give me a break!!!! Does he think someone will buy his house for that much just cuz he lived there? I should hope not!!!!
Lol. What did the guy do wrong?
Wonder if a military industrial complex lobbyist will buy it?

The point of the story is the timing of the listing. McKeon hasn’t lived in this town since he got elected and moved to DC – but he had to have a residence here to keep his congressional seat.
It will be interesting to see where he goes.
On the edge of my seat!
$830,000 is the zillow estimate. Greed, greed, greed.
Zillow is very inaccurate!
Lol at everyone going off of the Zillow estimate. Zillow consistently is WAY off whem you run comps.
Doesn’t change the fact this price is a joke for a house like this. Sickening.
Certainly explains why he wasn’t concerned enough about Cemex to get anything done. He never intended to return here, so he wouldn’t have to live with it.
Would love to see the video tour of the inside
He has to sell it, he can no longer walk up the inside staircase…lol
Maybe he’s hoping on celebrity value. Like PT Barnum said, there’s a sucker born every minute.
Remember he is a person and still has family that lives in this valley. So sad to see how quick people are to judge.
