Q4 slows things down just enough to reflect on what actually mattered. Not headlines or hype, but the rhythm of the year and what continued to define San Diego as both a market and a place where people don’t just return, but get to live on vacation.
The median sales price edged up from $897,000 to $900,000, and the average sales price increased to $1.2 million. Homes took a little longer to sell, not because demand disappeared, but because buyers had room to think again. Even with fewer sales overall, total sales volume rose, driven by continued strength at higher price points and steady participation from well qualified buyers. Taken together, the year end numbers point to a market that stayed balanced rather than reactive.
What stood out most this year was the confidence of the market itself. San Diego’s pricing remains high, and that can naturally cause hesitation or raise questions about whether the market is at the top or in a bubble. Yet year after year, San Diego continues to prove its resilience. Value here is driven by lifestyle, scarcity, and long term commitment, not headlines.
