October 2026 Market Update
Based on September 2026 sales and market activity
Shirin’s Take
Detached inventory remained limited despite a lower monthly median.
Detached homes had 1.3 months of supply and a 17-day average market time. Attached homes had 3.3 months of supply and averaged 37 days. The detached median declined from last September, but the year-to-date median was higher, so the monthly price change needs context.
September 2026 Statistics
Detached Homes
ZIP Code 92117
Twenty-four detached homes closed at a median of $1,117,500, down 5.5%. The year-to-date median was up 3.0% at $1,200,000. Those comparisons cover different periods and different groups of sales; neither establishes the change in value of an individual home.
Inventory fell to 38 homes, with 1.3 months of supply. Homes that closed averaged 17 days on market, and sellers received 99.9% of original list price on average. Pending sales declined from 38 to 31, so the shorter market time came alongside less pending activity than last September.
For Buyers
The short market time and limited supply suggest being prepared, but compare each asking price with relevant recent sales. The 17-day average describes homes that closed, not every active listing.
For Sellers
The lower monthly median and higher year-to-date median describe different periods. Use recent comparable sales, condition and competing listings to determine where your home fits.
September 2026 Statistics
Attached Homes
Townhomes + Condos · ZIP Code 92117
Six attached homes closed at a median of $550,000, nearly unchanged from last September. Pending sales rose to 12 and inventory fell to 23 homes. The year-to-date median was down 8.9% at $551,000, so the steady monthly figure does not capture the broader year-to-date comparison.
Homes that closed averaged 37 days on market, down from 50, and sellers received 95.2% of original list price on average. With only six closings, the monthly price and market-time figures should be read alongside relevant sales of similar units.
For Buyers
Attached supply is higher than detached supply. Compare units, HOA costs and condition before setting your offer, rather than relying on the ZIP-wide median alone.
For Sellers
Six closings make the monthly median sensitive to the mix of sales. Focus on recent comparable units and the homes buyers will compare with yours.
Looking Ahead
What matters next
I will be watching whether detached pending activity remains below last year’s level despite limited inventory. For attached homes, the increase in pending sales is worth following into the next set of closings. One month does not establish a sustained trend.

This October 2026 update uses September 2026 data from the Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS® Local Market Update for ZIP 92117, labeled Clairemont in the source report. San Diego MLS data is current as of October 5, 2026. Monthly changes compare September 2026 with September 2025; year-to-date comparisons are through September. Detached and attached homes are reported separately. Median prices and original-list-price ratios exclude concessions and downpayment assistance. Percentage changes reproduce the source’s rounded figures; list-price-ratio changes are percentage-point differences calculated from the displayed ratios: detached 99.9% minus 97.8% equals +2.1 points; attached 95.2% minus 94.9% equals +0.3 points. Small samples and the mix of homes sold can affect medians. Market time describes closed sales, not all active listings.
