Despite higher mortgage rates and a noticeable increase in available homes, San Diego’s housing market continues to show resilience. Recent data indicates that median home prices remain near record highs, and demand persists in many neighborhoods despite affordability challenges.
Mortgage rates are up. Inventory is up. Yet San Diego home prices remain surprisingly strong.
Why?
San Diego still faces a housing shortage. We need over 100,000 more homes, but high land costs, regulations, labor shortages, and neighborhood opposition continue to limit development.
San Diego’s desirable climate, strong job market, military presence, and limited land for expansion also help support long-term housing demand. Many homeowners are holding onto low-interest mortgages obtained in recent years, which reduces the number of homes coming onto the market and helps keep prices elevated.
As inventory grows, buyers have more options and negotiating power. But this isn’t a weak market. Well-priced homes still sell quickly.
That’s why local market knowledge matters. Every neighborhood, property type, and price range performs differently.
I’ve helped clients navigate San Diego real estate since 2007. I don’t just sell real estate—I own, renovate, manage, and invest in it.
If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or investing, let’s talk and build a plan that fits your goals.
