In July 2026, the Greater San Diego real estate market sees a total of 26 sales, consistent with June's figures but down 8% from July 2025. New listings increased to 50, contributing to a total of 109 active listings and a months of inventory (MOI) of 3.8, indicating a seller's market.

Market Analysis

The San Diego real estate market remains stable in July 2026, with total sales holding steady at 26, mirroring the previous month. However, the year-over-year sales decline of 8% suggests a slight cooling in buyer activity compared to July 2025. The increase in new listings to 50 has helped maintain a balanced inventory level, with active listings rising to 109, resulting in a months of inventory of 3.8, which still favors sellers in negotiations.

Property Type Analysis

Sales of detached homes dominate the market, accounting for 23 of the total 26 transactions. In contrast, attached and townhouse sales remain limited, with only 3 sales recorded. This disparity highlights the ongoing demand for detached properties, which continues to attract buyers despite the overall decline in sales volume year-over-year.

Regional Highlights

In the 92065 zip code, which includes Ramona, the market shows a healthy supply of detached homes with 46 new listings and a median price of $845,000, slightly down by 0.6% year-over-year. The attached market in the same region is showing signs of vitality, with a 50% increase in closed sales compared to the previous year, despite a lower volume of transactions.

For Buyers

Prospective buyers in the Greater San Diego area should remain vigilant as inventory levels increase, providing more options. With the current months of inventory at 3.8, buyers may find opportunities to negotiate favorable terms, especially in the detached home segment.

For Sellers

Sellers are encouraged to take advantage of the current market conditions, as the 52% sales-to-new-listings ratio indicates strong demand. Pricing homes competitively, as evidenced by the 100.1% list-to-sale price ratio for detached homes, can help attract buyers quickly in this seller-favored environment.
