Over the past several months, detached homes have stayed in a supported range rather than dropping sharply, helped by limited inventory and steady buyer interest. ## Attached Homes Condos and townhomes remained more price-sensitive in September, with the average price around $783K and the median near $653K. After some modest stabilization over the summer, attached homes are still moving at a more measured pace, with buyers paying close attention to price and condition. ## Market overall San Diego County stayed stable but selective in September, with 1,783 new listings and 1,218 homes sold, showing slower activity than August. The multi-month pattern points to a balanced market: prices remain supported, homes are taking slightly longer, and well-positioned listings continue to attract the strongest attention. # September 2026 Market Update Market Pulse ## 🏠 Is It a Buyer’s or Seller’s Market? San Diego County remains balanced with a slight seller lean. New listings were nearly flat from August, while closed sales dipped, suggesting buyers are still active but taking more time before making decisions.
