San Diego County: The Spring Surge is Here
March 2026 Market Update

San Diego is heating up fast. New listings jumped 17% in the first week of March, but demand is meeting that supply head-on. The median detached home price has climbed back above the $1.1M mark.

The Opportunity: The "Freshness Factor" is huge right now—39% of homes are going pending in under 14 days. However, the condo and townhome sector is moving 40% slower than single-family homes.

The Play: Focus on the attached market (condos/townhomes). Inventory here is up 16% over last year, giving you more leverage to ask for discounted upgrades or seller-paid rate buydowns.
Status: Balanced to Hot. Speed is your friend for houses; patience is your friend for condos.
