If you have been waiting for a window to buy in San Diego, Realtor.com’s annual Best Time to Buy report puts that window at October 11 through 17 for this market.

That is slightly later than the national best week of September 27 through October 3. Fall can often bring more inventory, less competition, longer days on market, and sellers who are more open to negotiation.

This year the market has been relatively subdued, with homes sitting longer and price reductions happening earlier in the listing cycle rather than after multiple cuts. Mortgage rates have stayed elevated due to ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, but they remain below where they were a year ago. If you have questions about what this looks like in your specific neighborhood, my DMs are open. 🏡

Gallagher Square has become one of the busiest concert venues in the region, but residents living above it have been in a three-year legal fight over the noise. The core issue is that concerts inside Petco Park are capped at 95 decibels measured from the soundboard, and the stadium structure absorbs much of the sound.

Gallagher Square has no equivalent physical barriers, so noise travels directly into surrounding homes. In June, the San Diego City Council amended the noise ordinance to allow permitted venues to temporarily exceed noise limits citywide under certain conditions, which residents say compounds the problem. A judge will hear the case October 16.

The College-Rolando Library near SDSU is already dealing with reduced hours due to citywide budget cuts, and now faces a potential parking crunch as construction begins on a five-story student housing project next door.

Library supporters point to 2017 as a cautionary example, when blocked access caused foot traffic and circulation to drop by half or more.

Councilmember Elo-Rivera’s office has committed to preserving parking access where possible and keeping the community informed as conditions change. Construction is already underway.

This one's already pending, so it's not available, but I've got a list with many fantastic homes if you want in! What $2,295,000 gets you in Kensington: the Cliff May House. first home he ever built for his own family, and the start of the California Rancho style he's known for. Beehive fireplace, terracotta floors, open beam ceilings, a courtyard built around an olive tree. Mills Act status too, so the property taxes stay low.

If you want to see what else is out there like this, send me a message. 💌

The 101 Ash Street saga has been going on for years, and a resolution may finally be close. The 21-story downtown tower has been vacant and asbestos-ridden since San Diego bought it outright for $86 million in 2022 after a previous lease-to-own deal fell apart.

The city then leased it to a development team in 2025 with a plan to convert it into affordable housing. A City Council vote on September 15 would finalize amendments to that agreement, including extending the lease from 60 to 65 years and adjusting the interest rate on the city’s loan.

If approved, the deal is expected to close by the end of September and construction would follow.

A 2002 California law allows buyers to sue builders even before a problem is fixed, or sometimes before anything is actually broken, with liability extending up to a decade after construction.

Builders say that legal exposure has made constructing for-sale condos and townhomes financially risky, contributing to a 75% drop in condo construction statewide since the law passed. New legislation working through the Senate would require homeowners to show the problem exists before suing, and would prevent lawsuits over issues a builder has already fixed.

Consumer attorneys opposing the bill argue it could make the burden of proof too high for legitimate defect claims and may discourage homeowners from hiring experts to document problems, since those costs would not be recoverable. The bill has cleared the Assembly and is now in the Senate.

The latest Case-Shiller report puts San Diego’s annual home price growth at 1.05% for June, below the national average and below the local inflation rate for the 19th straight month.

Seven of the 20 cities tracked saw price declines, so San Diego is still in positive territory. The median single-family home price has held steady around $1 million all year.

Mortgage rates are back up to 6.65% as of last week, which is shaping a lot of conversations right now. If you have questions about what this means for buying or selling in San Diego, my DMs are open.

The new Mid-City Communities Plan is here. City officials said they welcome feedback as the plan progresses. You can review the draft plan at sandiego.gov and submit questions and comments [email protected]

If you own property in Mid-City, this is worth watching closely. More density near major corridors usually means more buyer interest down the line. If you’re house hunting, these neighborhoods might be your value play.
