Thinking about selling your home? If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. As we approach the busy spring season, the latest February 2026 data for Bonita (91902) and Chula Vista-Eastlake (91913) shows a market that is lean, fast-moving, and ready for new listings.

Whether you own a spacious detached home or a low-maintenance condo, here is the breakdown of what’s happening in your neighborhood.


The Recap: Bonita (91902)

Bonita remains a highly sought-after area with steady value, though buyers are seeing fewer choices lately.

  • Pending (In Escrow): 8 homes went under contract this February.
  • Solds (Closed): 9 homes sold last month with a solid median price of $1,240,000.
  • The Vibe: Sellers are getting nearly their full asking price (97.7%), but homes are taking a bit longer to sell, averaging about 57 days on the market.

Attached Homes (Condos/Townhomes)

The Recap: Chula Vista – Eastlake (91913)

Why Now is the “Sweet Spot” to Sell

You might hear people say, “Wait for the spring flowers to bloom to list your home.” While spring is the busiest time for buyers, the pre-spring window (right now!) is often the smartest time for sellers. Here’s why:

  1. Be the Only Choice: In both Bonita and Eastlake, the “Inventory of Homes for Sale” has dropped significantly compared to last year. If you list now, you aren’t competing with the wave of houses that hit the market in April and May. You are the main attraction.
  2. Serious Buyers are Out: People searching in February and early March aren’t “window shoppers.” They are often motivated by tax refunds, job transfers, or a desire to be settled before the new school year.
  3. The “Supply and Demand” Win: In Eastlake, the supply of condos is down over 54%. In Bonita, single-family inventory is down over 28%. When supply is low and demand is steady, you have more leverage as a seller to get the price and terms you want.

Bottom Line: The data shows that prices are holding strong (or rising!), but there simply aren’t enough houses for the people who want to live here.
