San Diego Prices Face Slower Growth

San Diego buyers and sellers are navigating record-high prices, tight supply, and slower price growth, making timing and affordability matter most today.
Limited supply and persistent homebuilding shortages have kept upward pressure on prices, even as economic uncertainty keeps some buyers cautious for now.
Many sellers who enter the market are using incentives to attract offers, helping affordability-minded buyers evaluate options more strategically in San Diego.
The market has stayed slow so far in 2026, leaving both sides focused on timing, budget confidence, and negotiation strategy before moving forward.
