If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the perfect time to buy a home in San Diego, this is your moment.
As real estate professionals actively working in the San Diego market every day, we’re seeing key trends emerge that make now an ideal time for home buyers. From price reductions to longer days on market, the current shift is opening up valuable opportunities for buyers to enter the market strategically—and save money in the process.
🔍 What’s Changing in the San Diego Real Estate Market?
After a period of high demand and competitive bidding wars, the market is starting to cool just enough to give buyers some breathing room. Here's what we’re seeing:
- Price reductions on active listings
- Fewer buyers actively searching, resulting in less competition
- Longer days on market, giving buyers more time and leverage
- Sellers more willing to negotiate on price and terms
This doesn’t mean the market is crashing—it means it’s stabilizing, and smart buyers are using this to their advantage.
💰 What Can You Negotiate Right Now?
With fewer bidding wars and sellers more open to making deals, you have negotiating power back on your side. Our buyers are securing:
- Below-list-price purchases
- Seller credits toward closing costs
- 2-1 buydowns and interest rate incentives
- Home warranties, repairs, and even furniture included
These perks were almost unheard of during the recent seller-dominated market—but they’re back, and they’re helping buyers build equity and lower their upfront costs.
📊 Why “Waiting” Might Cost You More
Many buyers are still holding out, waiting for interest rates to drop. But here's the catch: when rates do drop, demand will likely surge again, bringing back competition and driving prices up.
The truth is, you can always refinance later, but you can’t go back in time to buy at today’s prices. Timing the market is risky, but time in the market builds wealth.
🏡 Real Clients Are Winning Right Now
We’ve helped several buyers this month alone who:
- Negotiated thousands off the asking price

If you’re even remotely considering buying, now is the time to start the conversation.
