What This Means
San Diego's housing market is showing mixed signals as spring selling season gets underway. While the median price ticked up 1.8% month-over-month to $965,000, the broader picture reveals softening demand. Sales volume dropped nearly 10% from March, and year-over-year comparisons are even grimmer, with units sold down 26% compared to April 2025. This suggests that despite modest price gains, fewer buyers are actively competing for homes, which typically indicates a shift toward a more balanced market after years of intense competition.
The silver lining is that homes are selling faster, spending just 57 days on market compared to 62 days last month. The sale-to-list price ratio of 99.3% shows buyers still have some negotiating power but sellers haven't given up much ground yet. However, inventory is climbing with over 3,200 active listings, and properties are sitting longer before purchase. This growing supply combined with declining transaction volume suggests the market is cooling rather than heating up as we head into summer.
For buyers, this environment offers more breathing room to be selective. For sellers, pricing strategically and presenting homes well matters more than it has in years. The San Diego market isn't crashing, but it's clearly normalizing after its pandemic-era frenzy.
