🏡 San Diego Real Estate: Fewer Homes, Stronger Sales

Some interesting numbers this week:

• Detached closed sales ↑ 8.4%
• Attached closed sales ↑ 40.2%
• Detached median price: $1,232,500
• Attached median price: $718,900
• Detached housing supply ↓ 42.2%
• Attached housing supply ↓ 32.7%

The takeaway? Buyers may be more selective, but San Diego still has a serious shortage of homes available for sale.

That's helping keep prices remarkably resilient.

For sellers, low inventory is good news — but today's buyers still expect value. For buyers, patience can pay off, but waiting for prices to suddenly fall may not.

This continues to be a market where strategy matters more than headlines.

25 Years. Deep Roots. One Incredible Career. 🤍

Celebrating 25 years this past month in residential real estate feels especially meaningful because Rancho Santa Fe is so much more than where I work—it’s the community that shaped me.

From attending Rancho Santa Fe Elementary and growing up in the Ranch, to hometown parades, lifelong friendships and family ties that remain there today, Rancho Santa Fe has been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember.

Over the past 25 years, I’ve had the privilege of not only watching this community evolve, but also navigating the many cycles of the real estate market. I’ve experienced strong markets, challenging markets, shifting buyer trends and changing technology—and through every cycle, I’ve remained steadfast in my commitment to my clients: providing exceptional service, trusted guidance and the experience to help them make confident decisions in any market.

That perspective only comes with time. Markets change. Trends change. But relationships, integrity and a commitment to doing what’s best for your clients never go out of style.

For 25 years, I’ve been fortunate to help families buy and sell homes throughout this extraordinary community and throughout San Diego. Knowing Rancho Santa Fe isn’t simply part of my profession—it comes from decades of personal history, relationships and experiences that simply can’t be replicated.

I’m incredibly grateful to the clients, friends and families who have trusted me with some of life’s biggest decisions and who continue to refer their friends and loved ones to me over the years.

Rancho Santa Fe will always feel like home and will always hold a very special place in my heart.

Here’s to 25 years of experience, relationships and results—and to many more. 🥂

You may see national headlines about foreclosures, stubborn mortgage rates and a slowing housing market—but San Diego’s June numbers tell a different story.

🏡 Detached-home pending sales increased
🏡 Closed sales jumped nearly 13%
🏡 The median price reached $1.1 million
🏡 Inventory fell more than 37%
🏡 Sellers received approximately 99% of their original asking price

The market remains active, and well-positioned homes are selling.

The important caution for sellers: low inventory does not mean buyers will overlook an unrealistic price. Today’s buyers are informed, payment-conscious and willing to wait when a home does not offer enough value.

San Diego is not a soft or weak housing market. It is a selective market that still slightly favors sellers—and strongly rewards proper pricing, preparation and presentation.

🏡 So what are you waiting for?

Homeownership isn’t just about having a place to live—it’s one of the most powerful ways to start building long-term financial security.

The best time to buy wasn’t yesterday… it’s when you’re prepared today.

✨ Stop waiting for the “perfect” market.
✨ Stop assuming you need 20% down.
✨ Start building equity instead of paying someone else’s mortgage.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or just wondering if homeownership is possible, I’d love to help you explore your options.

📩 Send me a message and let’s create a game plan to get you into your first home. Your future self will thank you!

🏡 One of the biggest housing stories this week isn't housing at all.

The reported ceasefire in the Middle East has helped calm oil prices, and that's good news because energy costs have been one of the biggest drivers of inflation.

Why does that matter?

Because inflation plays a major role in where mortgage rates go next.

At the same time, San Diego buyers continue to show up. Pending sales are up, inventory remains tight, and some well-priced homes are even seeing multiple offers and escalation clauses again.

The Federal Reserve left rates unchanged this week, but if inflation continues to improve, many experts believe we'll eventually see a friendlier environment for homebuyers.

It's a reminder that sometimes the biggest influences on the housing market happen far beyond real estate.

🏡 The San Diego market is telling an interesting story.

Pending sales are up 25%, closed sales are up 18%, and homes continue to sell for about 99.5% of asking price.

The median home price dipped below $1 million in May, but that doesn't mean values across San Diego are falling. Median price is not average price. We're simply seeing more activity in price ranges below $1 million.

Meanwhile, economists are forecasting roughly 5.3% home price appreciation nationally over the next year.

For buyers, the question may not be whether rates will come down—but whether prices and competition will move higher before they do.
