San Diego Housing Market Update — February 2025

• Sales Cool, Inventory Surges •

February brought a shift in the San Diego housing market during mid-winter, with home sales slowing year-over-year while inventory levels climbed. A strong pool of Buyers and Sellers fueled demand despite higher home prices and interest rates, as annual sales trailed slightly behind last year.

Detached home sales fell 2.5 percent year-over-year in February 2025 compared to February 2024, marking the first decline in four months. Attached homes, including condos and townhomes, saw a steeper 15.3 percent decrease in sales over last year. Homes took less time to sell, averaging 23 days on market, down from 28 days a year ago.

February 2025 San Diego Housing Market Update

Even with a dip in sales, San Diego home prices keep climbing, though at a more measured pace than the peak frenzy of recent years. The median sale price for detached homes rose 5.9 percent year-over-year to $1,074,589. Attached homes, such as condos & townhomes, saw a 3.1 percent increase, bringing the median sale price to $675,000.

Housing inventory growth accelerated in February, offering buyers more options. Detached home listings expanded by 27.5 percent, while attached homes – including condos and townhomes – surged 47.1 percent. This increase in available properties is helping to balance the market, though ongoing demand continues to keep prices elevated due to limited overall housing supply.
