San Diego Home Inventory Plunges the Most All Year
Home Inventory in San Diego Plunges — Biggest Drop of the Year
The latest San Diego housing report shows something we have not seen all year: inventory just fell by 408 homes in two weeks – the largest drop of 2025.
Anytime inventory plunges, it creates real opportunities for people who are ready to move. Right now both buyers and sellers can win, for different reasons.
Opportunities for Sellers
With 408 fewer homes competing with you, this is one of the best low-competition windows we are likely to see until late spring.
- Detached homes are still moving in about 88 days.
- Serious buyers are out through the holidays while many sellers sit on the sidelines.
- Condo and townhome owners who feel stuck due to HOA fees or slow market times can tap into my system for multiple cash offers, side-by-side net sheets, and flexible timing on closing and move-out.
If you want to launch your listing strong in January, the prep work should start now while other owners are waiting.
Opportunities for Buyers
Even with rates lower than last year, buyer demand has dipped to its lowest level since January. That means less competition and more negotiation room for you.
- Better odds of getting credits, repairs, or a better price.
- The ability to secure a home now and close in early 2026.
- Move-up buyers can use my Trade-In Program to buy first and sell after, without writing a contingent offer.
