San Diego’s real estate landscape continues to present unique challenges for aspiring homeowners. Only 17% of households in our county can afford the $1.075M median home price, which now requires an annual income of $268,000. Compared to the statewide numbers—where 19% of households can afford the $916,750 median at a 6.54% mortgage rate (and need $228,400 income)—our local market is even more competitive. As someone deeply rooted in San Diego’s neighborhoods and committed to guiding clients through these complexities, I see firsthand how these numbers affect real people and families. Navigating affordability isn’t just about numbers—it’s about strategy, creativity, and having a trusted partner who knows the market inside and out. Whether you’re weighing your options or planning your next move, I’m passionate about helping you make informed decisions and building relationships that last well beyond the transaction.
