July 2026

Shirin's Take
The biggest story this month is inventory.
Detached listings fell sharply from last year while prices and closed sales both increased, keeping that side of the market competitive. Attached homes remain more balanced, but rising sales and declining inventory suggest that market is tightening as well.
San Diego County
Detached Homes
July 2026
Inventory tightened sharply while prices and pace both firmed. Active detached listings fell 32.1% from a year ago, while new listings also came in below July 2025. That points to a supply story more than a sudden surge in demand.
Sold volume still increased 4.8% year over year. With 2.2 months of supply, homes selling at 98.6% of original list price and average days on market falling to 33, well-prepared and correctly priced homes continue to move relatively quickly.
For Buyers
Inventory remains tight, so preparation matters. Have financing fully lined up before you tour and evaluate each home's pricing against recent comparable sales rather than assuming every listing will require an aggressive offer.
For Sellers
Conditions remain favorable, but 98.6% of original list price reflects homes that are priced and presented appropriately. Strong preparation and realistic pricing still matter.
San Diego County
Attached Homes
Townhomes, rowhouses + condos · July 2026
The attached segment posted the strongest volume gain in this report, with sold listings up 15.8% year over year. At the same time, active inventory fell 9.4%, pulling months supply down to 3.7.
Median price was comparatively steady at $660,000, up 1.5% from last year. Average days on market increased slightly to 43, which still gives buyers more breathing room here than in the detached market.
For Buyers
There is still more time and choice here than in the detached market. A well-supported offer based on recent comparable sales remains a reasonable approach, particularly on homes that have been sitting longer.
For Sellers
Rising sales and shrinking inventory are constructive signs, but attached homes are still averaging 43 days on market. Accurate pricing and presentation remain important.
Looking Ahead
What matters next
Inventory is the number I will be watching most closely heading into late summer and fall. A meaningful increase in new listings could give buyers more room, while continued tight supply would likely keep well-priced homes moving.
