A quick reality check for 2026
The most honest outlook for 2026 is this: the market looks relatively flat overall — and there’s no way to predict exactly where prices land in your neighborhood.
Rates are the swing factor. If mortgage rates move from about 6.2% (now) up toward 6.5%+, affordability gets tighter and prices can soften. If rates drop into the 5.5%–5.75% range, demand can heat up fast — and prices can push higher with more competition.
Bottom line: there’s no “sure deal” or perfect timing. If moving now or soon is right for you, we can make it up on the sale or purchase depending on the market conditions at the time. The waiting game rarely works — it’s usually better to move forward and get the best deal for this market.

A quick note as the year wraps up
As Christmas approaches, many San Diego homeowners and buyers are quietly thinking about what’s next. I’m grateful for the conversations and trust this year — even when it’s just to get clear, honest answers.
If a move might be on your radar in the next few months, here are a few things I can help with that aren’t easy to find online:
- Off-market & unlisted homes
- Real cash-offer comparisons (actual net numbers)
- Buy-before-you-sell options
- Homes with assumable low-rate loans
- A clear timing & pricing reality check
No pressure. If this would help, just text or call 619-846-1244.
P.S. Buying, selling, or just planning — even a short text like “We’re thinking about a move” is enough to start.

Bottom Line for 2026 (San Diego)
Most forecasts point to modest price movement and a market that rewards the basics: pricing, condition, and location. Well-located homes still attract buyers, while overpriced or problem listings sit.
Condos often become more negotiable when rates are higher; detached homes tend to hold value better over time. The winning strategy is not guessing the future — it’s making the right moves for the market you’re in.
