Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS® — June 2026

In June 2026, the Greater San Diego real estate market continues to show strength, with total sales increasing by 8.7% year-over-year to 43 transactions. The market remains competitive, characterized by a low inventory of 107 active listings and a months of inventory (MOI) of 2.3, indicating a seller's market.

Market Analysis

The Greater San Diego real estate market is experiencing robust demand, as evidenced by the increase in total sales from 37 in June 2025 to 43 in June 2026. The current months of inventory stands at 2.3, slightly up from 2.1 in May 2026, but significantly lower than the 4.1 months recorded a year ago. This tight supply situation continues to favor sellers, as the sales-to-new-listings ratio (SNLR) is a strong 74.1%, reflecting a healthy absorption rate of new listings entering the market.

Despite the lack of specific benchmark price data, the overall market dynamics suggest that prices are likely stable or appreciating, particularly in the detached and attached property segments. The increase in sales alongside a decrease in active listings from 131 in June 2025 to 107 in June 2026 indicates sustained buyer interest, which could lead to upward pressure on prices in the coming months.

Property Type Analysis

In June 2026, detached homes accounted for 25 of the total sales, while attached homes, including townhouses, contributed 18 sales. The detached segment continues to be a strong performer, reflecting a consistent demand for single-family homes. The attached property market, however, has shown remarkable growth, with closed sales increasing by 38.5% year-over-year, indicating a growing preference for lower-maintenance living options among buyers.

The median price for detached homes is reported at $2,350,000, with a competitive list-to-sale ratio of 99.2%, while attached homes have a median price of $1,476,250 and a list-to-sale ratio of 97.9%. This price performance highlights the differing dynamics between property types, with detached homes commanding higher prices but attached homes showing significant year-over-year growth in both sales and median prices.
