Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS® — June 2026

In June 2026, the Greater San Diego real estate market shows continued strength with a total of 35 sales, a 7.7% increase from the same month last year. The active listings rose to 83, while the months of inventory stands at 2.3, indicating a seller's market.

Market Analysis

The San Diego real estate market remains competitive as demand continues to outpace supply. With 35 total sales in June, the market has demonstrated resilience, particularly compared to the 28 sales recorded in June 2025. The months of inventory at 2.3 suggests that homes are selling quickly, reinforcing the seller's advantage in negotiations. The strong sales performance, coupled with a significant year-over-year increase, reflects ongoing buyer interest despite the current economic climate.

Active listings have increased from 72 in May to 83 in June, providing buyers with more options, yet the supply remains tight relative to demand. The sales-to-new-listings ratio (SNLR) of 63.6% indicates that a substantial portion of new listings is being absorbed by the market, further tightening inventory. This dynamic underscores the importance of timely decision-making for prospective buyers, as the competitive landscape shows no signs of easing.

Property Type Analysis

In June, detached homes accounted for the majority of sales with 28 transactions, while attached homes, including townhouses, saw 7 sales. The detached market continues to dominate, reflecting buyer preference for single-family residences, which are often perceived as more desirable in the current environment. The median price for detached homes in the Poway area reached $1,300,000, indicating a robust market segment, while attached homes had a median price of $732,000, showing a significant year-over-year increase of 14.8%.

The disparity in sales numbers between property types suggests that while detached homes are in higher demand, attached homes are also experiencing a positive trend, albeit at a slower pace. Buyers looking for affordability may find better opportunities in the attached segment, though they should act quickly given the overall market conditions.

Regional Highlights

The Poway area, specifically zip code 92064, is experiencing notable activity with 52 new listings and a closed sales count of 28 for detached homes. The median days on market for these properties is 37, indicating that homes are selling relatively quickly. The inventory of 73 detached homes corresponds to a months of supply of 2.3, which aligns with the broader market trend of limited availability. This region's performance reflects a healthy demand for residential properties, driven by local amenities and community appeal.

In contrast, the attached market in Poway shows a more modest activity level with only 3 new listings and 7 closed sales. However, the high percentage of list price achieved (99.7%) suggests that buyers are willing to pay close to asking prices, indicating strong demand in this segment as well.

For Buyers

Prospective buyers should remain vigilant and prepared to act quickly in the current market. With inventory levels low and a competitive atmosphere, it is advisable to have financing pre-approved and to be ready to make offers on desirable properties as they become available. Engaging a knowledgeable real estate agent can provide valuable insights and help navigate the fast-paced market.

For Sellers

Sellers are in a favorable position in the current market, with strong demand and limited inventory. To maximize potential sale prices, it is essential to present homes well and consider pricing strategies that reflect current market conditions. Working with an experienced REALTOR® can help sellers effectively market their properties and negotiate favorable terms.
