San Diego Buyers Are Missing Part of the Market

Most buyers are still doing the same thing every night: checking Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, and hoping something good pops up.

The problem is simple.

Some of the best San Diego homes never show up where everyone else is looking.

Right now, I am seeing homeowners who may sell quietly, investors who would consider an offer before listing, coming-soon properties, and homes with assumable mortgages that most buyers will never find by scrolling online.

Why Take Action This Summer?

Summer in San Diego can create a short window of opportunity. Some sellers want to move before school starts. Some listings have been sitting longer than expected. Some buyers have backed off because of rates.

That creates room to negotiate.

• Buyers: More homes, less frenzy in some areas, and better chances to ask for seller credits or rate buydowns.
• Sellers: Prices are still near high levels, but buyers are pickier. Waiting until fall can mean more stale listings and less urgency.
• Move-up buyers: You may be able to use a buy-before-you-sell strategy instead of making a weak contingent offer.
