Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).

College East is seeing inventory tighten while sales activity shifts in this rolling three-month view through May 2026. Active listings are up about 11% year over year to 34, yet new listings are down nearly 13%, signaling fewer fresh options coming to market. Homes sold have climbed more than 34% from a year ago, but pending sales are down over 32%, pointing to slower contract flow recently.

Pricing has been adjusting in response to these changing dynamics. The typical home value is down about 14% year over year, while the median list price is up nearly 8%, showing sellers are often asking more even as closed prices trend lower.

Time on market has lengthened considerably, with the median days on market jumping from last year to 33 days in the latest period. Supply has risen to 4.4 months, higher than the 2.9 months seen across San Diego as a whole, yet College East is still characterized as a seller’s market, and only about 15% of homes are selling above list. With pricing, inventory, and time on market all moving in different directions, both buyers and sellers in College East can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a local agent who understands these trends.
