Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS® — April 2026

The Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS® reports 8 total sales in April 2026, a period characterized by seller market conditions. New listings totaled 18, while active listings stood at 27, contributing to 2.8 months of inventory. The sales-to-new-listings ratio was 44.4%.

Market Analysis

The Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS® indicates a sellers market persisted in April 2026, with 8 total sales recorded. This represents a slight decrease from 9 sales in March 2026 and 10 sales in April 2025. New listings for the month were 18, while active listings stood at 27, a modest reduction from 28 active listings in March 2026 and a more notable decrease from 35 active listings in April 2025.

Months of inventory increased to 2.8 in April 2026, up from 2.6 in the prior month and 1.8 in April 2025. The sales-to-new-listings ratio was 44.4%, reflecting that less than half of new listings resulted in a sale within the reporting period. The limited number of sales for the month suggests that percentage changes would not be meaningful for year-over-year comparisons.

Property Type Analysis

In April 2026, sales were evenly distributed between property types, with 4 detached homes and 4 attached/townhouse properties sold, according to the Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS®. The median price for detached homes was $945,000, while attached properties recorded a median price of $475,500. Both property types saw homes sell for an average of 99.4% of their list price and spent 25 days on the market.

Supply dynamics differed, with detached homes having 21 units in inventory and 2.8 months of supply. Attached properties, however, showed a much tighter market with only 6 units in inventory and 1.5 months of supply, suggesting stronger competition for attached homes despite equal sales volume.

Regional Highlights

In the 92083 area, April 2026 saw 11 new detached listings and 7 new attached listings. Detached homes recorded a median price of $945,000, while attached homes had a median price of $475,500. Both property types demonstrated efficient market activity, with homes selling at 99.4% of their list price after 25 days on market.

Year-over-year median price changes in 92083 showed a 12.4% increase for detached homes. Conversely, attached properties experienced a 24.5% decrease in median price compared to April 2025. Sales volume for detached homes was 4, a decrease from 8 sales in April 2025, while attached sales doubled to 4 from 2 sales in April 2025. It is important to note that these percentage changes are based on a small number of transactions, which can lead to significant fluctuations.

For Buyers

Buyers in April 2026 navigate a sellers market, as indicated by the Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS®. With 2.8 months of inventory overall, and even tighter supply for attached properties at 1.5 months, prospective buyers should be prepared for competitive conditions. It is advisable to have pre-approval in place and be ready to act swiftly when a suitable property becomes available, especially for attached homes where inventory is particularly limited.

For Sellers

Sellers in April 2026 continue to benefit from favorable market conditions, according to the Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS®. With 2.8 months of inventory and homes selling close to list price within 25 days, this period presents an opportune time to list. Strategic pricing and effective marketing remain crucial to attract serious buyers and capitalize on the current demand, particularly given the consistent sales-to-new-listings ratio of 44.4%.
