Most people think the San Diego spring market starts in March or April.
It doesn’t.
In San Diego County, “spring” quietly starts in late January and February—before headlines, before crowds, and before competition piles up.

What’s happening right now:
• More homes are hitting the market each week
• Buyers who paused late 2025 are back
• Well-priced homes are selling before peak competition
Selling in 2026: Don’t Wait Until Everyone Else Lists
From this point forward, the longer you wait, the more competing homes show up. That doesn’t mean prices fall overnight— it means leverage shifts.

Top 3 things to do now to be in the best position to sell:
1) Get an accurate price range (not a Zestimate)
2) Prep for speed (clean + simple beats perfect)
3) Have a Plan B (cash offer / trade-in / rent-back)
Buying: Don’t Miss the Dream Home by Only Watching Zillow
More homes are coming on the market each day, but many buyers still miss great opportunities because they rely solely on portals. Some of the best deals are quiet listings, coming-soon homes, or situations where the terms matter more than the list price.
Bottom line: Spring is already here in San Diego—just not evenly. The next 30–60 days matter more than the next 6 months if you want better options and better leverage.
