October 2026 Market Update
Based on September 2026 sales and market activity
Shirin’s Take
Detached homes sold quickly, but buyers also had more listings to consider.
Detached homes that sold averaged 10 days on market, yet inventory increased to 43. Attached homes averaged 51 days and received 92.8% of original list price. The pace differed substantially between the two property types.
September 2026 Statistics
Detached Homes
Mission Beach / Pacific Beach · ZIP Code 92109
Twelve detached homes closed, matching last September. The median rose 3.9% to $2,142,500. New listings increased from 20 to 31, and inventory grew 22.9%, even as closed homes sold faster and received 100.7% of original list price.
The 10-day average describes those 12 completed sales. It does not measure how long every active listing has been available, so the faster pace should be considered alongside the larger inventory.
For Buyers
The 10-day average describes homes that closed. It does not mean every available listing requires an immediate above-asking offer. Compare each home’s price, condition and market time with similar properties.
For Sellers
Do not assume every property will match the fast September closings. More competing listings make pricing comparisons important.
September 2026 Statistics
Attached Homes
Townhomes + Condos · ZIP Code 92109
Twelve attached homes closed at a median of $1,057,750, up 34.6%. The year-to-date median rose a smaller 7.1% to $1,043,500. The monthly increase reflects the properties that sold and should not be treated as a direct measure of appreciation for every attached home.
Inventory increased to 60 homes, pending sales fell to 14 and market time held at 51 days. Sellers received 92.8% of original list price on average, excluding concessions.
For Buyers
The 92.8% list-price ratio provides context for pricing discussions, but negotiating room depends on the individual home. Review comparable sales, HOA costs and condition before setting your offer.
For Sellers
Do not use the 34.6% median increase as a direct measure of your home’s appreciation. Review similar recent sales and active competition.
Looking Ahead
What matters next
I will be watching whether additional detached listings change the pace of sales. For attached homes, the question is whether higher inventory and lower pending activity continue. One month does not establish a sustained trend.
