How Much Will Home Prices Move This Year (in 2025) in San Diego?

Homeowners and buyers alike are wondering what’s next for home prices in 2025 — and it’s a
fair question. San Diego’s market doesn’t always follow the national headlines, and that’s why
local insight matters. From what I’m seeing, we’re likely to experience modest appreciation
this year. Most neighborhoods are still experiencing high demand and limited inventory —
which naturally supports prices. We’re not in a frenzy like 2021, but well-priced homes are still
moving quickly. What matters most is your price point and the neighborhood you’re looking in.
In some zip codes, we’re seeing price stability. In others, like coastal or high-demand
suburban areas such as La Jolla, prices are continuing to climb, just not at breakneck speeds. If mortgage
rates drop later this year, that could fuel another surge in demand. So yes, prices could inch
up a bit again — and the buyers who waited might face more competition. If you’re a buyer, waiting
for prices to dip may not pay off the way you think. And if you’re a seller, pricing your home
strategically right now — while inventory is low — could work strongly in your favor. As
someone who watches the market daily and previews dozens of homes a week, I’m seeing
these shifts happen in real time. Let’s talk about what’s happening specifically in your area or
price range. I can help you time your move right — and get ahead of the next wave.
