The Tale of Two Housing Markets in San Diego County

san diego housing market

Right now, San Diego County is telling two very different real estate stories.

Some neighborhoods are on fire — homes are listed, shown, and sold in a matter of days, often with multiple offers driving prices up. These are the “red hot” pockets, where demand far outweighs supply.

But in other parts of the county, things are noticeably slower. Homes sit longer, showings are sporadic, and buyers have the luxury of time. Interest rates, growing inventory, and higher expectations are giving them the upper hand.

The deciding factors?

  • Location — Highly sought-after areas still draw competition.

  • Condition — Turnkey homes get buyers off the fence.

  • Price — Sellers who adjust to today’s numbers win.

In either market, success starts with knowing which lane you’re in and tailoring your strategy to match.
