Information and statistics on the latest trends in the San Diego County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory in San Diego County held fairly steady in September, with about 8,500 active listings and a slight year-over-year decline. New listings, however, were up compared with last year, signaling that more owners are bringing homes to market even as options remain limited. Contract activity softened, as homes sold and pending sales both fell from a year ago, indicating slower turnover despite the additional new listings.
Pricing has been adjusting to this cooler pace. The typical home value is up slightly year over year, but it dropped more than 5 percent from August, and the average sale-to-list ratio has edged just below 99 percent. Homes are moving a bit faster than last year, with the median days on market down 4 percent annually, yet months of supply has risen nearly 28 percent over the same period, pointing to conditions that are less tight than before even though it is still a seller’s market overall.
Sellers are no longer seeing the same intensity as earlier in the year, with the share of homes selling above list price slipping month over month even as it remains modestly higher than a year ago. Compared with the California market as a whole, San Diego County maintains higher prices and slightly lower inventory, which can affect how both sides approach negotiations. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate these shifting dynamics or a seller aiming to price strategically, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands this market and can guide your next move.
San Diego County offers residents a vibrant blend of coastal beauty, robust job opportunities, excellent schools and healthcare, abundant outdoor recreation, and a diverse cultural scene within a welcoming, community-minded environment.
San Diego County stands apart from nearby Orange and Riverside counties with its blend of laid-back coastal living, international border energy, and strong military and tech presence. From the surf culture of Encinitas to the hillside neighborhoods of La Mesa, each community has its own identity yet still feels connected by shared beaches, canyons, and coastal breezes.
Local life is anchored by outdoor spaces and year-round sun. Residents enjoy trails at Mission Trails Regional Park, waterfront walks along San Diego Bay, and family time at Balboa Park. Neighborhoods around Carlsbad and Chula Vista offer a range of homes, from established single-family streets to newer master-planned communities, often close to top-rated schools like those in the Poway Unified School District.
Cultural life stretches from the museums of Old Town San Diego State Historic Park to craft breweries and local coffee roasters in North Park. Commuters can tap into regional transit via the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System, making urban hubs and coastal corridors more accessible.
Because the county is so diverse, timing and preparation matter. Whether you are selling a longtime family home or competing for a condo near the coast, having the right local agent is crucial. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with experienced San Diego County real estate professionals who understand specific neighborhoods and market conditions.

“Rebecca was very professional, always made herself available. Always answered phone calls or texts promptly. My children contacted her several times and she always gave them answers to their questions. This is the first home I have sold so I have nothing to compare to. I just have a thousand thanks to Rebecca for her time and patience.Excellent job”
“Rienne was great about giving us options to help us inderstand the market and what kinds of homes are out there. She worked incredibly hard to negotiate for us and help us close our deal from out of town. Rienne went above and beyond throughout our process, managing appointments with inspectors and vendors. She remained professional throughout the process.keeping us optimistic but also realistic about the process. Rienne was the perfect person to guide us through this journey.”
“I cannot recommend Nancy Andreason highly enough, especially for anyone dealing with the complex process of an out-of-state probate sale. Living a thousand miles away, I was incredibly stressed how to handle my late brother's home, but Nanny Andreason stepped in and helped out with everything, She managed local contractors for minor repairs, and personally coordinated the estate clean out. When the house hit the market, Nanny Andreason secured multiple offers and guided us to a smooth, hassle free closing.”
“Working with Paul was great. Easy to get a hold of and quit to respond with any communication. He made the whole experience, easy and painless. I will definitely be working with him again in the future.”
“Michael was very helpful negotiating the deal with the seller who he also represented. Both sides had contingencies that complicated the deal, but Michael did a very good job managing them.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor than Holly! We were competing against another offer that was $65,000 higher than ours, but somehow Holly’s experience, strategy, and negotiation skills got our offer accepted! And she didn’t stop there. After inspections, she negotiated an additional $22,000 in credits for repairs. Holly truly went above and beyond to protect our interests and make sure we got the best possible deal. Her contacts for contractors are saving us so much money on the renovations we plan to do right away also! Her knowledge, professionalism, and ability to navigate a competitive situation made all the difference. We are so grateful to have had her on our side and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home!”
“Six years ago, we met Kelly Lambo while trying to purchase a home that ultimately ended up outside of our budget. While that chapter didn't work out, little did we know we had found the realtor who would eventually help us purchase our dream home in North Clairemont. Over those six years, Kelly never disappeared. She periodically checked in, asked how our family was doing, and stayed connected without ever making us feel like a transaction. Every time a house caught our eye, no matter how random the timing, Kelly would somehow find a way to make herself available for a showing. Looking back, I imagine our constant back-and-forth, endless questions, pickiness, and occasional indecisiveness might have frustrated many agents. Kelly never let us feel that way. What stood out most was that she never rushed us into a decision. In fact, many times she played devil's advocate, challenging us to think through whether a home was truly the right fit for our family. It was never about making a sale. It was about building a relationship, learning what mattered most to us, and helping us make the best decision possible. With every house we viewed, she took mental notes and refined the search. Then, after six years, the house appeared. We toured it on a Saturday, submitted an offer on Monday, and the rest is history. What we learned is that while Kelly is patient and thoughtful during the search process, once she gets the green light, it's GO time. She assembled an incredible team around us, from home inspectors and loan officers to trusted external resources who could answer every question we had. She knew when to push, when to wait, and when to give a little ground to keep things moving in the right direction. Leaving our first home, the only home our children had ever known, was more emotional than we expected. During that process, Kelly became more than our realtor. She was part strategist, part counselor, and part psychologist, helping us work through the emotions while ensuring we were making a decision we truly felt confident about. Kelly is a master of her craft, but what truly sets her apart isn't just her knowledge of real estate. It's the relationships she builds with her clients, her team, and even the agents on the other side of the transaction. Those relationships create trust, solve problems, and ultimately make the impossible feel achievable. Kelly, thank you for your patience, guidance, honesty, and unwavering support over the last six years. We couldn't imagine a better partner to help our family take this next step. If you're looking for a realtor who genuinely puts people before transactions, we can't recommend Kelly highly enough.”
“Amy is a great agent that provides personal experience and approaches each sale with dedication and care. She was able to help me navigate complicated transaction that involved difficult market conditions and dreadful uncooperative HOA. Amy get things done, my apartment was sold in a matter of couple of months, while other apartments in that building have been “active/for sale” for almost a year now. You can see her experience in negotiations, market conditions and sales techniques, get your property sold with a peace of mind. I really enjoyed working with her, as she stayed on top of all details and communicated every new update to me regularly. Thank you so much Amy for your help!”
“Excellent Real Estate Agent! We had a wonderful experience working with Teresa while purchasing our home. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and always punctual. Her responsiveness was outstanding—she was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and help us through every step of the buying process. Beyond her professionalism, Teresa is genuinely friendly, kind, and thoughtful. She truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. We couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent and would highly recommend Teresa to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
“We have had the distinct pleasure of working with Kyle, Anthony, and Pilar on the purchase of our DTLA home. They are such an excellent and exceptional team. From the beginning to the end, we experienced tremendous support and attention. If you are looking to buy a home, you can’t go wrong with the SERENE team!”
“Katherine Materiale is not only an absolute delight to work with, she is also an absolute ROCK STAR of a Realtor. She is kind, caring, honest and extremely professional. Katherine guided us every step of the way in selling our home of 26 years. With her advise and guidance, we were able to sell our house on the the day after our first open house. Moreover, the subsequent process of walkthroughs, paperwork, and all of the other things that you have to go through when selling a home was a breeze. Katherine and her team were professional, dedicated and extremely knowledgeable as they guided us through every step of the process in what amounted to a stress free and smooth experience. The communication was outstanding, consistent and immediate. I have no problem giving my highest recommendation for Katherine and her team. If you need to buy or sell your house look no further than Katherine Materiale....you won't regret it.”
“Jessie did very good job at showing us the house around San Francisco and San Mateo County. She gave us very professional and honest advice on the home we were looking for. She went through the inspection, pointed out what we need to consider, and helped us draft a strong offer to secure our current home. Thanks to her, we have our first lovely home. Even after securing our home, Jessie went the extra mile to ensure we would be able to comfortably settle in. We would highly recommend Jessie to any homebuyers who need help in Bay Area.”
“Meredith helped us sell our home after it had been on the market for over a year and then guided us through buying our next place. Shes so knowledgable and experienced which really helped calm my nerves! She stayed positive, patient and proactive the whole time, kept us informed, and handled the details so we didn’t have to. She came up with so many creative ideas to move forward in a really tough market and we felt comfortable with the ideas she proposed. It worked! We ended up with a smooth sale and a home we’re excited about. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a realtor who won’t give up until you have what you want. Your terms! Excellent help!”
“Rachael Hughel is one of the best and most professional real estate agents I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She understands how to navigate the market, as turbulent as the one we are in now, like it is a child's playground. Sharp and vigilant, she sold my house for the price we ask for, all in such a difficult market. She was always on call and always updating about the situation of the houses and the market. It was a pleasure to work with her because she got to know us and was sensitive to the monumental amount of requirements. She pulled out all the stops and found best services and people to take care of everything and anything needed to be done with the house, you name it: contractors, roofers, electricians, etc. and everyone she recommended was just as professional and diligent as she is. On top of all the professional praise that Rachael rightfully deserves: her promptness, reaction time, diligence, and negotiation skills (which are a force to be reckoned with), her character is what I think makes her such a successful and great agent to work with. She is a really fun and personable individual who is honest and genuinely seems to care deeply about her clients and their potential futures. We cannot thank you enough Rachael. You are the best! Andrzej and Alex”
“Carli was exceptional from start to finish. We couldn’t be happier with how Carli helped us find our home. She was available and responsive to the second, always put our interests first, and kept a smile and a solution-oriented mindset through every step. Whenever a challenge came up, she came back with a way forward. The OneHome platform she provided made the search much easier, and the instant alerts for new listings were incredibly useful. We’d recommend Carli without hesitation. She was simply awesome. Thanks for all the help!”
“From the very beginning, Mona’s professionalism and deep understanding of the probate sale process gave me confidence. She was relentless in negotiations, always advocating for our best interests. Even after the sale closed, Mona remained incredibly helpful, offering advice and support whenever needed. Her ability to simplify a complex process, paired with her industrious work ethic, made the entire experience far less stressful. I truly appreciate her dedication and would recommend Mona without hesitation to anyone navigating a probate sale.”
“I had a wonderful experience working with Annie Lee! From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand my needs and priorities. She was always responsive, patient, and thorough in answering all my questions. Her professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I always felt supported and confident every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
“I highly recommend Min Hui Yeh. It’s great experience working with her on the sale of my house. She was extremely knowledgeable, responsive and resourceful. She kept me informed throughout the selling process. She truly went above and beyond to help me sell my house.”
“Selling a home can be an incredibly stressful process, but Chris Kwon and his team made the entire experience feel seamless, manageable, and I felt well cared for from beginning to end. From the start, Chris demonstrated an impressive understanding of the Great Park micro-market, providing strategic, data-driven recommendations on pricing and positioning my home to maximize its value. His guidance on preparing, presenting, and staging my home was thoughtful and tailored to what would resonate with buyers and help drive top dollar. What truly set Chris and his team apart was their white-glove, personalized service. From coordinating schedules and managing logistics to connecting me with trusted vendors and offering helpful recommendations, they anticipated needs I hadn’t even considered. They actively marketed my property and handled the countless details that can make a real estate transaction feel overwhelming, making the entire process easier. Just as importantly, Chris was a steady, reassuring presence throughout the journey. Selling a home comes with plenty of uncertainty and second-guessing, but he consistently helped alleviate my doubts and stress, answered my questions, and guided me through decisions with confidence. I always felt I had a knowledgeable, proactive advocate in my corner. If you’re buying or selling in Great Park, I can’t recommend Chris Kwon and his team highly enough. Their local market expertise, strategic guidance, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to their clients make them stand out. They don’t just sell homes; they deliver an exceptional client experience, taking care of the details while keeping your best interests and the best possible outcome at the center of everything they do.”
“What a blessing to work with Shishana!! I had an excellent experience with her great attitude, awesome negotiation skills, savy experience to make the sale happen! She always went the extra mile, had great real estate/contractor and lender connections, many suggestions to help make my home buying process amazing! Shishana was patient with a difficult seller, very enthusiastic and celebrated my success as we moved forward toward closing, worked with my crazy schedule, always treating my business as a valued customer! Definitely will work with her in the future, and refer friends!! :)”
