June 2026 home prices in San Diego County
San Diego home prices strengthened in June.
Detached homes rose to a median sales price of $1,125,000, up 5.1% from June 2025. Attached homes rose to $670,000, up 1.1% year-over-year.
That is a meaningful signal because sales volume also improved. In other words, this was not just a low-activity month where prices appeared stronger because of a small sample. Both detached and attached closed sales were up year-over-year.
Sales activity: buyers were active in June
Closed sales increased 10.9% for detached homes and 6.7% for attached homes. Pending sales also improved, rising 4.6% for detached homes and 13.7% for attached homes.
Pending sales are especially important because they show accepted offers and can give a sense of near-term buyer demand. June’s pending sales increase suggests buyers are still active despite elevated mortgage rates.
Days on market: detached homes moved faster, attached homes took longer
The market split here:
Detached homes sold in 32 days, down from 33 days last year. Attached homes took 43 days, up from 39 days last year.
That suggests detached homes remain more competitive, while condos and townhomes may give buyers a little more time and negotiating room.
Inventory: detached supply remains tight
Inventory decreased 26.1% for detached homes, leaving just 2.4 months of supply. Attached inventory was nearly flat year-over-year at 2,830 homes, with 4.0 months of supply.
For sellers, this matters because lower supply can help support pricing—especially for well-prepared detached homes. For buyers, it means the best detached listings can still move quickly.
Mortgage rates: Freddie Mac PMMS
Freddie Mac reported the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 6.43% and the 15-year fixed-rate mortgage at 5.79% as of July 2, 2026. Freddie Mac also noted that the 30-year rate was at a seven-week low and that purchase demand continued to edge higher.
What this means for buyers and sellers
For sellers: June was encouraging. Prices rose, sales increased, and detached inventory remained tight. The strongest results will still come from homes that are priced correctly, show well, and are marketed professionally.
For buyers: Detached homes may still be competitive, especially if they are well-priced and move-in ready. Attached homes may offer more breathing room, with longer days on market and roughly 4.0 months of supply.
