2025 San Diego Housing Market Update: Prices Under Pressure

The real estate market is starting to shift fast. More homes are coming on the market weekly, while buyer demand is slowing down. That combination puts direct downward pressure on home prices. If you plan to sell your home anytime in 2025, now may be your best time to walk away with the most money in your pocket.

More inventory means more competition. Right now, sellers are entering the market in larger numbers. That means buyers have more choices. When your home is one of many, it’s harder to stand out. Even well-maintained, move-in-ready homes are starting to sit longer. And when homes sit, price reductions follow. If you wait to list, you could compete with more properties and possibly settle for less.

Buyers are stepping back. Rising interest rates have made monthly payments harder to afford. At the same time, many buyers are losing confidence in the economy. They’re holding off. Fewer active buyers mean fewer offers. That shift lowers the leverage sellers used to have. If you’ve been counting on multiple bids or above-asking offers, that’s becoming less likely by the day.

The opportunity to sell high is shrinking. Timing matters more than ever. Homeowners who act now can still benefit from current values before market conditions tighten further. But waiting a few months could mean selling into a softer market. For most people, their home is their biggest asset. Protecting that value starts with understanding what’s happening locally.

What this means for you. Every neighborhood responds differently to market changes. That’s why getting a real, data-based view of what’s happening in your area, not just national headlines, is important. Let’s look at the numbers together and decide the best move based on your unique situation. Selling before inventory builds further could significantly affect your final sale price.
