San Diego is blooming 🏠

Just like the fresh flowers popping up across the county, we just saw a massive 41 percent jump in new detached listings this week.

While the choices are finally here for buyers, buyer activity actually took a pause. Is this a weekly blip or a new trend? 💡

Between an uneasy ceasefire in the Middle East and mortgage rates hovering at 6.41 percent, many are hitting the pause button to see what happens next.

Here is the breakdown of the new math in San Diego:

🏠 Detached: Listings are up 21 percent over the 4 week average. Prices are holding firm with a 4 week rolling average of $1,104,472.

🏢 Attached: Selection is growing with 16 weeks of inventory now available.

🛒 Buyers: You finally have the time to look at a home twice before making an offer.

💰 Sellers: Competition is growing. Your pricing strategy is now more critical than ever.

🪺 Homeowners: Your equity remains safe with values significantly higher than this time last year.

If you want to add value to your home quickly, focus on the spaces that matter most: the kitchen and bathrooms. ✨

💡 Fresh paint, modern fixtures, and updated hardware can make these rooms feel brand new without a full renovation.
💡 Even small upgrades — like swapping outdated lighting, adding a stylish backsplash, or refreshing cabinet doors — can dramatically increase appeal.
💡 Pair those updates with simple curb appeal improvements (fresh mulch, a bold front door color, clean landscaping), and you’ve got a winning combo.

These changes are cost-effective, quick to complete, and can make a major impact on resale value. Would you update the kitchen first, or the bathroom?
