As someone who has spent a lifetime exploring San Diego’s neighborhoods and helping clients navigate our ever-evolving real estate landscape, I know firsthand that affordability remains the city’s greatest housing challenge. Even as price growth has moderated, homeownership here still requires a significant financial commitment. Zillow’s latest numbers show San Diego’s market is stabilizing, with annual price changes leveling off instead of surging—welcome news for buyers and sellers seeking predictability. It’s interesting to note that even a modest drop in mortgage rates could have a powerful impact in our high-priced market; small payment shifts can open doors for many families. Looking toward 2027, I believe the outlook will hinge on whether we see real progress in affordability, continued employment strength, and, importantly, if new inventory can finally help meet our city’s persistent demand. Every transaction here is unique, but the opportunities and challenges remain rooted in these fundamentals. My commitment is always to guide clients through these complexities, helping them seize the right opportunity—whether it’s their first home, a move-up property, or an investment in San Diego’s future.
