BIG PICTURE
Detached Homes
Detached homes saw a noticeable rebound in June, with the average price rising to about $1.47M and the median reaching $1.10M after softer pricing in May. Over the past few months, detached homes have moved within a wider range, but limited inventory and stronger buyer follow-through are helping values regain momentum.
Attached Homes
Condos and townhomes remained softer than detached homes, with the average price around $784K and the median near $650K in June. Over the past several months, attached homes have shown more price sensitivity, but steady pending and closed sales suggest buyers are still active when pricing feels aligned.
Market overall
San Diego County’s market stayed active in June, with 1,946 new listings and 1,588 homes sold, though both eased month-over-month from May. The multi-month pattern points to a selective but steady market: inventory remains limited, well-positioned homes are moving faster, and prices are showing signs of rebounding after spring softness.
