A new website lets San Diego buyers search public-record homes by address and join a waitlist before any listing, opening access in a tight market.
Homeowners receive notice when buyers show interest, then can chat directly or through agents, helping them explore a sale gradually instead of deciding overnight.
For young parents and median-income shoppers, the platform may widen neighborhood options for family-size homes, especially when buyers are flexible about timing.
San Diego had 24 waitlisted homes across 9 ZIP codes; Clairemont, Bay Ho, and Bay Park drew 9 combined, while North Park emerged too.
The tool expanded timing options for San Diego moves, including military households, but it could not guarantee a listing or a price fit near $1.2M.
