Market Analysis

The Greater San Diego housing market continues to show signs of tight supply, with 52 new listings entering the market in June 2026. Despite the influx of new properties, total sales have declined compared to June 2025, reflecting a shift in buyer sentiment amid rising interest rates and economic uncertainty. The sales-to-new-listings ratio (SNLR) stands at 94.2%, suggesting that homes are selling quickly, but the overall volume of transactions is lower than in previous years. This indicates that while demand remains relatively strong, it is not sufficient to match the previous year's sales figures.

Property Type Analysis

In June, detached homes accounted for 29 of the total sales, while attached homes and townhouses contributed 20 sales. The detached segment continues to dominate the market, but both property types are experiencing varying levels of buyer interest. The median price for detached homes is reported at $1,033,000, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 7.4%, while attached homes have a median price of $652,500, which has seen a decline of 5.6% year-over-year. This divergence in price trends highlights the differing demand dynamics between property types.

Regional Highlights

Regionally, the 92056 zip code, encompassing Oceanside East, shows a robust activity with 29 closed sales and a median price of $1,033,000 for detached homes. The market remains competitive, with homes selling at 100.2% of their list price on average and a days on market (DOM) of just 24 days. In contrast, the attached market in the same region is facing challenges, with a notable decline in closed sales by 28.6% year-over-year, reflecting a shift in buyer preferences and potentially higher competition in the detached segment.
