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

Inventory in Downtown San Diego has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up more than 17 percent year over year to 556. Months of supply has climbed sharply to 7.1 compared with about 5.5 a year ago, signaling a much looser environment than the broader San Diego city, which sits closer to 3.1 months. Even with more choices on the market, contract activity is solid, as pending sales are up nearly 12 percent year over year while closed sales are roughly flat.

Pricing has been relatively steady despite the softer supply-demand balance. The typical home value is about $685,000, up a little over 5 percent from a year earlier, while median list prices are only slightly higher than last year, indicating sellers are not pushing asking prices aggressively. Compared with highs seen in 2023, values are lower but holding their ground as buyers gain leverage from longer marketing times and increased selection.

Days on market have lengthened notably, rising to 67 from 64 a year ago and well above the roughly three to four weeks seen in 2023, which points to slower decision-making and more negotiation. The share of homes selling above list has fallen to about 7 percent, far below the roughly 28 percent level three years ago, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 98 percent, showing modest discounting. With conditions shifting from a brisk seller’s environment toward one that is more balanced, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these evolving dynamics.



Learn more about what Downtown San Diego has to offer.

Downtown San Diego offers residents a vibrant, walkable urban core with cultural venues, diverse dining, parks, and convenient access to transit and the waterfront.

Downtown San Diego stands apart from nearby coastal neighborhoods like Pacific Beach and La Jolla by offering a true city center experience right on the bay. Residents enjoy an easy walk between office towers, historic blocks, and waterfront parks, with the San Diego Trolley connecting Downtown to the rest of the city.

Distinct districts create a strong local identity. The historic Gaslamp Quarter is known for Victorian-era architecture, dining, and nightlife. Nearby, Petco Park anchors a growing residential scene that appeals to professionals and downsizers who value walkability. The Embarcadero offers bayfront paths, public art, and attractions like the USS Midway Museum, giving residents a daily connection to the water.

Community life extends beyond entertainment. The San Diego Central Library hosts cultural programs and rooftop events, while local cafes and markets keep a neighborhood feel despite the urban energy. Proximity to Balboa Park and Little Italy adds even more options for dining, museums, and open space.

Whether you already live downtown or are considering a move, timing and preparation are essential in this competitive, fast-evolving market. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced local agent who understands Downtown San Diego’s buildings, micro-neighborhoods, and market trends.

“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”

“Jose was very helpful and understanding of my needs when looking for a house, I am new to the area and he was able to give me plenty of insight on areas to look for. It felt like he did all of the work, so I didn’t have to. I would def recommend Jose as a realtor even if you’re not looking to buy immediately, he’s pretty easy going and stays at your pace when buying/selling a houses!”

“Speak about a master coordinator. No only did Alex put my home in escrow less than a week from listing it, he also put us in escrow on the home we were moving into as our replacement property in concurrence to our sale. Alex showed us how extremely knowledgeable he was in selling our home in San Diego County and helping us close on time with our new home in Temecula Riverside County. Alex understood both the SD and Riverside real estate markets. Alex is a very upbeat person and REALTOR. Alex Obeso was upfront with us & told us a few times "My Job Is To Work For You & Nobody Else" His comments were evident; he takes a “clients come first” approach in every interaction we encountered from the start. As of today, Alex has helped us even after closing escrow. Recently we had a major water leak, we called Alex. Alex got us our insurance info, contacted a water remediation company and coordinated all the work. Today we have a new kitchen. Alex is a true professional in every sense of the word, and a perfect example of what customer service should be. If you need a dedicated, top-notch REALTOR, Alex is the only REALTOR”

“David is very personable, professional and receptive to our needs and concerns. He was a pleasure to work with, and very knowledgeable. He understands the intricacies of required forms and negotiating tactics. I felt our house sale was in good hands. He did not make us jump through hoops to sell our home. We were able to list it quickly with minimal work. He appreciated our house for what it was, and when it came time to show it, it showed beautifully. We were able to sell and get an offer fast.”

“This is our second time working with JC Agajanian and it reinforced the wisdom of our decision to call him again. JC applied his expertise across all aspects of the selling experience in a thorough and supportive way. He and his team use all of the latest tools available to market your property and have a network of contacts to meet all of your property needs whether it be paint touch-ups to staging to plumbing, etc. which really sets them apart from other agents. We highly recommend JC Agajanian to get your property assessed, prepped and sold!”

“Glen helped us sell a family home in Point Loma after it had been in the family for many years. This wasn't just a normal real estate transaction for us and there were a lot of emotions and decisions involved. The house also needed some updating before we could sell it. Glen was really helpful in determining what made sense to fix and what we should just leave alone. He brought in people to help with the cleanout, repairs and preparation of the property and helped keep everything organized. Because there were multiple family members involved, communication was especially important. Glen kept everyone informed and explained things in a way that was easy to understand without overwhelming us with unnecessary details. When we received offers he walked us through the price, financing and contingencies so we could make the decision together. The entire process was handled very professionally and with a lot of patience. If you are selling an inherited home or dealing with a trust property, having someone who understands that type of situation makes a huge difference.”

“If you’re buying a home and not using an exclusive Buyer’s Agent, you’re doing it all wrong. And if you’re in San Diego, and that Buyer’s Agent isn’t Justin Gramm at Globella Buyers Realty, you’re missing out on some opportunities. Justin doesn’t have listings to sell you; rather, he’s going to work with you to find your perfect home. He has technology tools to help focus on what’s most important to you - in my case, it was location, a newer build, an office on the main floor and a private garage. We looked at 5 homes in Civita and Escala the first day; all would have been suitable, but #4 on the list was perfect for me. When it came to preparing an offer Justin had insight and advice that saved me tens of thousands of dollars, and our offer was so clean and simple it was immediately accepted by the Sellers. Justin kept the transaction on track through all our inspections and document signing and was highly responsive to all my questions and issues. Even if you don’t use Justin, you should spend some time on his website as he has a lot of good information, resources and insight for anyone buying a home.”

“Same last name, but NOT related. However, he and his team treated us like FAMILY from the very beginning. I was introduced to DJ through a mutual friend who used DJ’s services to purchase 2 homes. What drew us to DJ was how personal the experience was for others. Long after successful closures, DJ and his team remained in contact with their clients and continued to show their appreciation today! There was never a doubt who we needed to team with and TRUST! Again, from the beginning DJ simply asked, “What do you WANT?” in a home. When we presented our selection, he then followed with, “I GOT YOU!”. He and his team did just that…they got us our dream home and made the process look easy. I don’t know the behind-the-scenes coordination required, I just know that we never broke a sweat. Knowledgable in EVERY FACET of the real estate market…VA, non-military…he knows it all. Thank you, DJ and team for helping us become HOMEOWNERS!”

“Zillow only lets me give 5 stars, but Alex earned 10. Alex was our realtor, and he's the reason buying our first home was smooth sailing. He's a great communicator, and that mattered more than I expected. He stayed on top of the seller's realtor the whole way through and got our offers submitted quickly, which honestly helped us win the bid. He also kept our timeline on track, so we closed when we were supposed to. That's what you want from the person you're working with: someone who is clear, responsive, and efficient. He came to every showing already knowing the place inside and out, and we never felt pushed toward anything. If we weren't feeling a house, he said okay and moved on to the next one. What really got me is that we've already closed and he's still helping us. We need to make minor adjustments to the house, and instead of saying "good luck," he got us in touch with his plumber and electrician and made sure it got handled. He had no reason to do that anymore, and he did it anyway. :) If you're buying a home in San Diego, call Alex.”

“I worked with Nicci on this sale and it was the absolute best experience. Everyone involved in this sale went above and beyond to help me with everything that came my way. Living in Virginia and selling a property on the opposite side of the country would have been stressful without this team. The communication was top notch. It was like working with a family. I knew Nicci had my back and it was honestly the best decision to work with her on this. I highly highly recommend her!!!”

“We had an outstanding experience working with Brody Trotter as our realtor. From the very beginning, he was attentive, responsive, and truly took the time to understand our needs and what we were looking for in a home. Brody was instrumental in helping us secure our new place and consistently went above and beyond throughout the entire process. He made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable, always keeping us informed and looking out for our best interests. What really sets Brody apart is that his commitment didn't end at closing. Even after the sale, he has continued to check in with us to make sure we're comfortable, settling in well, and have everything we need in our new home. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely caring realtor, we highly recommend Brody Trotter. We couldn't be happier with our experience and are incredibly grateful for all of his help. Thank you, Brody, for helping us find and transition into our new home! you are part of our family now and we look forward to doing this all over again with you someday!”

“We interviewed several Carmel Valley Realtors before choosing Billie Bourgeois to sell our home, and we are so glad we chose her. We had seen Billie in action throughout the Carmel Valley community and knew she had an incredible network, strong local relationships, and a proven track record of getting results. From preparing our home for the market with all of her recommended contractors, to pre-marketing, marketing, open houses, buyer feedback, negotiations, and ultimately getting it sold, Billie was involved every step of the way. Her knowledge of Carmel Valley, the local market and San Diego’s real estate market as a whole was invaluable, but what impressed us most was how hard she worked and how personally invested she was in getting us the best possible outcome. We experienced firsthand just how valuable that became when our first buyer unexpectedly fell out of escrow. Instead of losing momentum, Billie immediately went back to work. Within just two days of putting our home back on the market, she generated three showings and was able to get us back into escrow. In this market, that was an incredible result and really demonstrated the strength of her marketing, her relationships within the Carmel Valley real estate community, and how relentlessly she works for her clients. I started calling Billie “Diamond" because she truly stands out among the rest and shines. I also compared her to a tiger because she is determined, strategic, and protective of her clients while knowing exactly how and when to negotiate on their behalf. Billie did all of this for my wife and I and we are so very grateful. Billie communicated with us throughout the entire process, followed up relentlessly with buyers and agents, and was always straightforward about what she was seeing in the market and what she recommended. Even when circumstances changed unexpectedly, we always felt like she had a plan and was working to keep us moving forward. If you’re looking for a Carmel Valley Realtor or San Diego Realtor who truly knows the community, has deep local relationships, markets aggressively, negotiates strategically, and will advocate for you from beginning to end, we highly recommend Billie Bourgeois, team lead of Billie Bourgeois & Associates with Real Brokerage. She earned our trust, delivered when it mattered, and absolutely lived up to the reputation that made us choose her in the first place.”

“Our estate home in Scripps Ranch, San Diego was on the market with another realtor from March through June this year We really liked that realtor, but the home did not sell External economic conditions made it very difficult to sell homes in Scripps Ranch priced in the 1.8 to $2,000,000 category We had known Chad since before our home went on the market, but did not choose him as the listing agent initially After our contract with our agent expired, we had Chad list our home, and he sold it in 10 days! His professionalism, sensitivity to our needs, and market understanding are absolutely second to none Chad connected us with his corporate EXP marketing network and conducted all showings and communication with prospective buyers and agents personally In addition to being a licensed real estate agent, Chad is a certified financial planner with an MBA in business We're happy to recommend Chad without reservation and are confident he will perform exceptionally for you and he has for us”

“Providing consistent and exceptional real estate service is just the start of the benefits those who work with Bri will receive. Through her community of clients, friends and businesses, she welcomes newcomers to the heart of Coronado (San Diego County). Long after clients have settled into their new home, Bri is a consistent and reliable resource. We have come to know Bri as an individual who values the exceptional level of service she provides and operates with integrity first. She is committed to the highest level of service and professionalism, serving her clients needs while making the process enjoyable. Bri lives, works and plays in the area. The relationship is more important to her than the transaction and you will discover that through her concierge services approach, a relationship with Bri does not end with the final paperwork. Simply said, she is knowledgeable, professional and a joy to work with.”

“My wife and I have always loved visiting San Diego—the beautiful weather, incredible restaurants, wonderful sights, and, most importantly, having our children nearby. So when we began considering purchasing a home with our Son, we were thrilled to reconnect with Jeanne Liebel, who had previously helped our son purchase his condo. From the very beginning, Jeanne was everything we could have hoped for in a Realtor. Her attention to detail, exceptional organizational skills, and thoroughness were invaluable throughout the entire process. She was especially impressive when it came to reviewing inspection reports, coordinating and following up with vendors, and making sure that important details never slipped through the cracks. But what really set Jeanne apart was her ability to negotiate while keeping the transaction moving in a positive direction. She genuinely cares about her clients and works tirelessly to protect their interests, but she also has a wonderful ability to build trust and communicate effectively with the other side. That helped create an atmosphere where both the buyer and seller could work toward a mutually agreeable outcome—even when things became complicated. Buying a home can be stressful, particularly when you don’t live locally, but Jeanne gave us tremendous confidence that we had someone knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in our success. We always felt that she had our back. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would enthusiastically recommend Jeanne to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in San Diego. She’s not just an excellent Realtor—she’s someone you feel fortunate to have in your corner.”

“Our agent, Jocelyn, was great. She worked with us very closely and was able to quickly answer any questions we had and to help resolve any issues that came up. She's the best and my family was very fortunate to have her by our side when it came to the unpleasant task of trying to sell a piece of real estate, which was given to us due to the recent passing of our mother. Thanks again!”

“Jamie was fantastic to work with on our first home purchase in Santee. As first-time buyers, my wife and I had a lot to learn, and she walked us through every step with patience and clear explanations. Her knowledge of San Diego is impressive. She showed us homes everywhere from Otay Ranch up to Poway, helping us really understand our options before we landed on the right area. She was always quick to respond, whether it was a quick question or something urgent. When it came time to negotiate, she pushed hard on our behalf and helped us secure a strong seller credit. What stood out most was that she never pressured us into a decision and was always straight with us about what to expect. We put a lot of trust in Jamie, and she earned every bit of it. We'll be calling her again if we buy or sell in the future, and we recommend her without hesitation.”
