San Diego is no longer a one-speed housing market. Some neighborhoods are still appreciating at a healthy pace. Others are flat — and a few are quietly softening, creating real negotiating leverage for buyers.
Here’s how the market is really behaving right now based on recent year-over-year trends.
These aren't all neighborhoods. Text me your address and I’ll check yours: 619-846-1244.
?? HOT Neighborhoods (Appreciating)
These areas are still seeing strong buyer demand and rising prices:
- North Park: +6% to +9% YOY
- Del Cerro / Allied Gardens: +5% to +7% YOY
- La Jolla: +6% to +8% YOY
- La Jolla Shores: +7% to +10% YOY (luxury is volatile)
- Coastal San Diego (overall): +2% to +4% YOY
Homes here that are priced right are still selling quickly — often with multiple offers.

?? COLD Neighborhoods (Flat to Soft)
These areas are seeing slower sales, more price cuts, and softer pricing:
- Carmel Valley: -5% to -10% YOY
- Torrey Hills: -10% to -18% YOY
- Mira Mesa: -3% to -6% YOY
- Pacific Beach: Flat to -2% YOY
- Clairemont / City Heights: -2% to -5% YOY
These neighborhoods now offer real buyer leverage — price reductions, credits, and rate buydowns are common.

What this means for you
If you’re selling:
- Overpricing kills momentum in today’s market.
- Hot neighborhoods still win — but only if priced correctly.
- Cold neighborhoods require a smarter plan (pricing, prep, credits, or cash option).
If you’re buying:
- Cold neighborhoods = negotiating power.
- Hot neighborhoods = move fast and write clean offers.
