Happy New Year!

I’m truly grateful for the relationships I’ve built and look forward to staying connected and helping however I can in the year ahead.

At the start of 2026, I’m seeing the San Diego market continue to move toward a more balanced pace compared to the intense seller’s market we saw over the last few years. Prices are still holding fairly steady, with the county median list price sitting just under $1.2M, but buyers are definitely getting a little more breathing room. Inventory has come down slightly from the end of last year, although there are still far more homes on the market than we saw during the ultra-competitive pandemic years. Homes are also taking longer to sell, and buyers are being much more selective about condition, pricing, and location.

Even with the market slowing a bit, San Diego still technically favors sellers, with the Market Action Index sitting at 42. That said, it no longer feels like the frenzy where every home instantly received multiple offers. I’m seeing a market where strong, well-priced homes are still moving, but buyers now have more time to make decisions and more negotiating power than they’ve had in quite a while.
