Homeowners and Sellers – Update: 05/11/2026

San Diego’s housing market in May 2026 is more balanced, with higher inventory giving buyers more choice and reducing bidding wars, while well-priced homes still attract strong interest; median prices remain near the mid-$900Ks, but days on market have risen to about 3–5 weeks and buyers are more focused on negotiations and concessions, especially with mortgage rates in the mid-6% range limiting affordability—making accurate pricing and strong presentation essential for sellers to achieve the best results.

Homeowners and Sellers – Update: 04/1/2026

San Diego’s Spring 2026 market favors sellers, though it’s more balanced than the pandemic frenzy. Median homes near $900K still sell quickly—about 28 days—if priced right and well-presented with staging and updates. Inventory is up, giving buyers more choices, so realistic pricing and strong marketing are key. While some homes sell below list, tight supply in coastal and top school areas keeps the market tilted toward sellers. Success depends on strategic pricing, quality presentation, and readiness to negotiate as buyers are more deliberate and rates influence affordability.

Homeowners/Sellers – Update: 03/24/2026

Although homes are taking longer to sell, San Diego County’s median price—around $912,500* —continues to rise, making strategy more important than ever. Preparing your home with key repairs, deep cleaning, smart staging, and accurate pricing is essential, especially since most buyers start on Zillow and Redfin—if your listing doesn’t show strong value there, showings may be limited. A strategic approach from the start is what drives real buyer interest.
