Compared to the last few months, San Diego County remains balanced, with a slight seller lean. Inventory is still tight, which helps protect values, but longer days on market and fewer multiple-offer situations have continued to give buyers more breathing room. This balance didn’t happen overnight, it’s the result of steady cooling since early fall.

• Average Sales Price: $1,377,647 (-1.1% YOY)

   

➡️ Home prices are holding steady rather than sliding. Month over month, the average sales price dipped slightly to about $1.38M. After softening from late-summer highs, prices have now stabilized.

• 40 days on the market (+5.3% YOY)

➡️ After softening from late-summer highs, prices have now stabilized, a multi-month signal that demand continues to support values, especially for well-priced homes.

• Percent of List Price Received: ~98.7%

➡️ Negotiation dynamics have shifted gradually over the past several months. The sale-to-list price ratio has eased from near-perfect levels earlier in the year to just under 99%, giving buyers more room for concessions. Sellers who price accurately are still closing close to asking, but overpricing now takes longer to correct.

Here’s what stands out when looking at the last several months:

• Prices are stabilizing, not sliding
  
  
• Days on market increased month over month.
  
  
• Inventory remains tight despite slower activity.
  
  
• Negotiation power has rebalanced.

Overall, San Diego’s market is settling into a more predictable rhythm, offering buyers more breathing room while still supporting strong long-term home values.
