San Diego market update

The market is not crashing.
It’s not exploding.
It’s doing that very San Diego thing where it stays expensive and makes everyone emotionally process a $900,000 median price like it’s normal.

Here’s the reality:

Pending sales are up 2.9%
Closed sales are basically flat, up 0.6%
Median price is still $900,000
Homes are taking longer to sell, now averaging 40 days
Sellers are getting about 97.6% of their original list price
Inventory is down overall, but condos and townhomes have more options

Translation?

Buyers: you may have more negotiating room than you think, especially on homes that are sitting.

Sellers: you still have leverage, but only if your price is based on reality and not your neighbor’s delusion from 2021.

This is not a lazy market.
It’s a picky one.

And picky markets reward strategy.

Thinking about buying in Clairemont? Let me save you from yourself. 😅

Here’s the truth about 92117 right now:
🏠 Only 37 homes for sale
⏱️ 29 days average to go under contract
💰 Sellers getting 98% of list price

This market does not reward hesitation. It rewards preparation.

I’m at an open house in Clairemont this weekend — not as the listing agent, but as YOUR advocate. The person who’s going to make sure you don’t fall in love with a house and then make a rookie mistake trying to get it.
That’s literally what I do.

👇 DM me the word BUYER and I’ll send you a free snapshot of the Clairemont market so you know exactly what you’re up against before you ever write an offer.
Because informed buyers don’t just compete. They win. 🏡

They lost the house. Then got it anyway.

Most agents would’ve moved on. I didn’t. 🏡

My clients fell in love with a home in San Diego — and lost it. Someone else got it first.

But I knew how much this neighborhood meant to them. This was their future. So I stayed in the game, kept the relationship with the listing agent warm, and made sure they knew if anything changed, we wanted back in.

The deal fell out.

We got the call. We renegotiated. And we were in escrow the same day.
This is why who you work with matters. It’s not just about finding the house, it’s about having the strategy to actually get it.

If you’re searching in San Diego and want someone who doesn’t give up when it gets hard DM me. Let’s talk. 📲

Clairemont called. She renovated. I walked through it so you didn’t have to wonder.
Herringbone backsplash. Dual tone gold and silver hardware. A rainfall shower that makes you never want to leave. A covered patio that will ruin every other backyard for you. And a primary bedroom that used to be a garage — you’d never know.

Fully renovated, move-in ready, corner lot with privacy hedges, a shed, and grass wrapping around the whole property.
15 minutes to downtown, the beach, and the airport. Nothing needs to be fixed. Nothing needs to be updated. You just move in.

Open house TODAY 12–4PM. Come see it in person — or keep scrolling and let someone else get it. Your call.

I’ll keep this short because the house speaks for itself.

4970 Mable Way | Clairemont | Open Today and Tomorrow 12–3PM

Fully renovated inside and out. New kitchen, new bathrooms, new flooring, dual-pane windows — the kind of update where you walk in and nothing needs to be fixed. Ever.

The covered patio alone is worth the visit. Beamed ceiling, completely private, greenery on all sides. Add a TV and some chairs and you’ve got the best outdoor living room in the neighborhood.

Oh and there’s a shed out back that could be a home office, gym, creative studio, or — let’s be honest — your escape from everyone you live with.

15 minutes to downtown, the beach, Mission Bay, and the airport. First-time buyers and investors, this one’s for you.

Come through today 12–4. I’ll be there. I’ll be the one who actually knows what a mini split is.

📍4970 Mable Way, San Diego 92117
🗓️ Sat & Sun | 12PM–3PM

$250,000 in San Diego? 😎
That’s not a home… that’s a down payment and a prayer.
Whitney said what she said: NOTHINGGGG 🎶
DM me “BUDGET” and I’ll send you real numbers for condos/townhomes + what it takes to compete here.

It's actually happening in this market! 😀

If you go back to the beginning of the year homes were selling like hotcakes over asking so sellers were not offering any concessions.

So now it's your time to jump in!

This will definitely help with monthly payments now to get you into your new home 🏡

Reach out to me and I will connect you with a trusted lender.
