San Diego Home Prices Are UP! But Condos Are Telling a Different Story.
If you've been waiting for San Diego County home prices to come crashing down, you might be waiting a long time! The latest October 2026 numbers reveal something interesting.
The average detached home sold for $1,405,637, UP 1.1% from a year ago. But condos and townhomes? They're heading in the opposite direction! The average condo or townhome sold for $763,859, DOWN 3.6% from last year.
That's a significant difference, and it tells us something important: San Diego's housing market isn't moving in one direction. What's happening with single-family homes isn't necessarily happening with condos, townhomes, or investment properties.
But here's what most headlines won't tell you. Average prices can be pushed higher by a handful of million-dollar luxury sales, so even these numbers don't tell the whole story. Your home's actual value depends on its location, condition, size, and what similar properties nearby are selling for.
The bottom line? Don't let headlines make your real estate decisions! Whether you're selling, buying, or renting out your property, understanding YOUR local market is what really matters.
