Monthly Market Update
San Diego County
April 2026 | All Property Types
Market Snapshot — All Properties
The county median price reached $925,500, up 1.7% from a year ago, continuing a long stretch of steady appreciation. Inventory is down nearly 13% from last April, so well-priced homes are still seeing real demand. Sellers are pulling in about 98.5% of their original asking price. Homes are sitting a touch longer, 37 days compared to 33 a year ago, which simply means buyers have a bit more room to make thoughtful decisions.
On the financing side, the 30-year fixed rate has settled around 6.5%, down roughly 0.3 to 0.4 points from where it sat a year ago. For a typical San Diego loan, that improvement meaningfully restores buying power.
If you are buying
More homes are on the market than a year ago, listings are taking a little longer to sell, and rates have eased, giving you more choice, more negotiating room, and lower monthly payments than last spring.
If you are selling
Prices are still rising, inventory remains tight, and homes are closing at nearly 99% of asking. Lower rates are also bringing more qualified buyers off the sidelines. Solid conditions to list with confidence.
If you are thinking about making a move this year, or just want to know what your home is worth in today's market, I am always happy to talk it through.
