Jeff Brick, REALTOR® with Compass and 2026 President of the San Diego Multiple Listing Service, launches jeffbrick.com, a free hub with monthly MLS data for 50 San Diego neighborhoods
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 5, 2026 – San Diego’s housing market split in two in October: single-family houses stayed firmly in sellers’ favor, while condos and townhomes gave buyers the most negotiating room in years, according to an analysis of San Diego Multiple Listing Service (SDMLS) closed sales by Jeff Brick, a REALTOR® with Compass and 2026 President of the San Diego Multiple Listing Service.
Brick released the figures with the launch of the new jeffbrick.com, a free resource that tracks prices, days on market and supply for 50 San Diego County neighborhoods every month.
“The question I hear every day is, ‘Is it a buyer’s market or a seller’s market?’” said Brick. “In October the honest answer was both. If you’re buying a house in Clairemont or Carmel Valley, you’re still competing. If you’re buying a condo downtown, you can negotiate. We built the new site so anyone can see that for their own neighborhood, for free.”
October 2026 highlights (October 2026 vs. October 2025, across the neighborhood areas in Brick’s guides):
- Houses: seller’s market. 32 of 34 house markets had under four months of supply. Houses sold in about 19 days on average for 99% of the asking price.
- Tightest house markets: University City / UTC (1.2 months of supply), Tierrasanta (1.3), San Carlos (1.4), Carmel Valley (1.4) and Clairemont (1.6, with 26 sales).
- Condos: balanced to buyer-friendly. 14 of 26 condo markets had four or more months of supply. Condo sales fell about 27% from a year earlier, and condos took about 32 days to sell on average.
- Most condo leverage: Downtown and Little Italy (6.6 months of supply, 50 sales, $621,250 median, down 8%). Mission Valley’s condo median fell 24% to $440,000.
- Houses under about $1 million: Barrio Logan ($570,000 median), Golden Hill and South Park ($689,000), the College Area ($921,500), La Mesa ($932,750), Escondido ($985,000) and Mount Helix ($990,000).
- Luxury: Rancho Santa Fe homes sold for 94% of list on average after a median 69 days, the most room for house buyers anywhere in the data.
“Months of supply is the number to watch,” Brick said. “Under four favors sellers, over six favors buyers. Right now most of San Diego’s house market sits around two, and parts of the condo market are above six. That gap is the story.”
