San Diego County Home Sales Surge in July 2026
Exciting news for our San Diego community—home sales in the county surged 8% year-over-year in July 2026. As someone who has lived and worked in neighborhoods from North Park to Carlsbad, I’ve seen firsthand how shifts like this reflect both the energy and opportunity within our local market. Whether you’re considering a move, looking to invest, or simply want to understand what this means for your neighborhood, I’m passionate about sharing insights and helping people navigate these changes. San Diego’s real estate market is always evolving, and thoughtful guidance and strategic negotiation can make all the difference when planning your next step.

When buyers ask what their monthly mortgage payment includes, the answer is often more than principal and interest. Many payments also include property taxes, homeowner insurance, and possibly mortgage insurance, depending on the loan and down payment. HOA dues may be separate, but they still matter when calculating affordability. One important thing to remember is that even if your interest rate is fixed, your total payment can still change if taxes, insurance, or escrow amounts change. If you are planning to buy and want a clearer picture of the full monthly cost, contact me. I can help you look beyond the payment estimate and understand the bigger housing budget.

How to Know if a Home Fits Your Lifestyle?
Saving for that first home in California is no small feat—especially when you consider that it now takes the typical household 14.7 years to save up a 20% down payment on a median-priced home of $776,200, with a median income of $105,600. For those earning minimum wage, the wait stretches to over four decades—44.2 years—just to reach that same milestone. Our state’s unique geography shapes this challenge. The Pacific Ocean on one side and mountains and protected land on the other mean most housing is concentrated in coastal corridors, where land comes at a premium. Add to that long-standing tax rules that make homeowners less likely to move and thriving tech and health care sectors drawing more residents, and you have a recipe for intense demand and limited supply.

As someone who’s spent years helping buyers and sellers navigate San Diego’s market, I see every day how these factors shape our local neighborhoods. Creative strategies, tenacity, and deep market knowledge are essential in this climate—especially for first-time buyers planning for the long term. Until wage growth consistently outpaces home prices, thoughtful, proactive planning is more important than ever. If you’re considering your next move or looking to build wealth through property ownership, it’s critical to have a partner who understands the complexities of our market and is committed to helping you achieve your real estate goals.
