San Diego's housing market is quietly tightening — and that's good news if you know how to play it.
Buyers: The Window Is Narrowing
Inventory is shrinking: Active listings dropped 3% in just two weeks, now at 5,835 homes — the lowest since May. That's 1,000 fewer than this time last year and well below pre-COVID levels. Fewer sellers are listing, so choices are tightening heading into the holidays.
Rates are easing: Mortgage rates have dipped, sparking a slow but steady uptick in buyer demand. That means more competition is coming. If you're a buyer, the best time to act is now — while there are still homes available and before demand heats up further. Wait too long, and you'll face fewer options and tougher negotiations.

Homes that sell within 14 days are averaging 98.8% of the list price.
Homes that linger and require multiple price cuts take 72+ days to sell and sell for only 86.9% of the original asking price.
Example: On a $1,000,000 home:
• Priced right nets about $988,000
• Overpriced sells for roughly $869,000
That's a $119,000 difference — just for getting the price right the first time.
And pricing right doesn't mean guessing or relying on Zillow or Redfin. To truly maximize your net, you need an analysis that looks at:
• Competing homes
• Market demand
• Market time & speed of sale
That's why I offer a Free, In-Depth Price Analysis — and I'll sell your home for the agreed price or pay you the difference.
