Want to Buy or Sell in 2026? You Are Already on the Clock

Start Now, Move in Early 2026: Your San Diego Buy & Sell Timeline

If you start your home-buying journey today, you’re likely to be moving into your new home by February–March 2026 (target close window: Feb 10–Mar 31, 2026). That gives you time to shop smart, compete less, and position for the best rate environment after the New Year.

Buying Next Year? Start Now and Move by Feb–Mar 2026

  • 2–8 weeks to get pre-approved and shop seriously.
  • ~30 days escrow once your offer is accepted.
  • Total: ~2–3 months from “go” to “move-in.”

Starting now = more inventory to choose from, motivated sellers, and time to pursue the lowest payment options (including 2–3% assumable mortgages when available).

Thinking of Selling? Start Today, Close by Mar–Apr 2026

If we begin pre-market prep now (pricing strategy, light fix-ups, pro photos, launch plan), your target closing window is Mar 15–Apr 30, 2026. Typical seller timeline:

  • 2–6 weeks prep (declutter, touch-ups, photos, marketing).
  • 3–8 weeks on market to secure the right offer.
  • ~30 days escrow to close and deposit proceeds.

I’ll handle the heavy lifting so you can enjoy the holidays while we set up a strong January/February launch.

What You’ll Get From Me (Free, Fast, Local)

  1. Accurate price based on real comps & micro-trends (not a computer guess).
  2. Bottom-line net sheet—what you’ll take home after all expenses.
  3. Simple, high-ROI fixups that create more buyer demand (I can coordinate and, in some cases, front the costs until close*).

We can cover this in a 10-minute call and get your custom plan rolling the same day.
