For Home Sellers in San Diego
January data reinforces a familiar theme: sales slowed and DOM rose, but inventory remains limited, especially for detached homes.
If you’re thinking about selling:
- Price to the neighborhood comps (not last year’s headlines)
- Make the home “easy to say yes to” (repairs, staging, strong photos)
- Expect more negotiation than peak years—especially in the condo market
