Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS® — June 2026

In June 2026, the Greater San Diego real estate market experienced a notable increase in sales, with a total of 69 properties sold, marking a 34.5% year-over-year increase. Active listings decreased slightly to 126, resulting in a months of inventory of 1.9, indicating a continued seller's market.

Market Analysis

The San Diego real estate market remains competitive, characterized by a low inventory of homes available for sale. With only 126 active listings, the market is experiencing a strong demand, as evidenced by the 97.2% sales-to-new-listings ratio (SNLR). This high SNLR suggests that homes are selling quickly, often at or above their listing prices, as buyers compete for limited options. The months of inventory at 1.9 indicates that if no new listings were added, the current inventory would be sold out in less than two months, further emphasizing the urgency for buyers in this market.

Compared to May 2026, where total sales were 50 and active listings were 129, the June figures reflect a robust uptick in buyer activity. The year-over-year comparison with June 2025 shows a significant improvement in sales, rising from 52 to 69, which highlights the ongoing recovery and resilience of the San Diego housing market despite economic fluctuations.

Property Type Analysis

In June 2026, detached homes accounted for a majority of sales with 39 transactions, while attached homes, including townhouses, saw 30 sales. The detached market continues to attract buyers, likely due to the preference for single-family homes in the current environment. The average days on market for detached homes is 50 days, compared to 44 days for attached properties, indicating a slightly quicker turnover for townhouses. This trend suggests that while both property types are in demand, buyers may be more inclined towards attached homes for their affordability and lower maintenance requirements.

Regional Highlights

The Oceanside North area, specifically ZIP code 92057, has shown strong performance with 39 closed sales of detached homes, reflecting a competitive median price of $995,000. The region's inventory stands at 58 homes, with a months supply of 1.9, indicating a tight market. In contrast, the attached housing segment in the same area has a median price of $601,000, with 30 sales and a slightly higher months supply of 3.2, suggesting a more balanced market for this property type.

For Buyers

Prospective buyers are encouraged to act quickly in the current market, where competition is fierce and inventory is limited. Given the low months of inventory, buyers should be prepared to make competitive offers and consider being flexible with their requirements to increase their chances of securing a home.
