Quick answer: San Diego County’s median single-family price was $1,079,000 in September 2026, up 5.8% from a year earlier, with just 2.4 months of supply. Condos and townhomes held near $670,000 with 4 months of supply, giving buyers more room. The 30-year fixed rate averaged 7.24% (Freddie Mac, week of October 29, 2026).

Jeff’s take: Single-family homes are still scarce across most of San Diego, with many neighborhoods under three months of inventory, so well-priced houses keep selling quickly. Condos are a different story: more supply and more room to negotiate in most areas. Rates above 7% make payment planning the first step for buyers.
Months of inventory is how long today’s listings would last at the current pace of sales. Under 3 months favors sellers, 3 to 6 is balanced, and over 6 favors buyers.
