How competitive or soft the market, how big a supply, days on market, list price to actual sale amount. You watch ALL the numbers to know the health of your local real estate market. To advise buyers and sellers, you have to study ALL the numbers that tell the tale Peter Mohylsky, www.athome30a.

I do track the market for my primary service areas, but watching
San Diego-wide can be misleading depending on the neighborhood.

So I track trends at the ZIP code level, which is still a little imperfect because many neighborhoods span two to three ZIP codes. Example... Mission Bay Park, where I live, falls into 92117 and 92110, so I average the two.

I also separate the data by property type because the detached and attached markets can behave very differently.

Single Family Homes Only

North Bay Park

• Down 2.3% in December 2025 vs. December 2024

• Down 2.9% year-to-date

South Bay Park

• Down 11.2% in December 2025 vs. December 2024

• Down 3.2% year-to-date

I am with Thomas J. Nelson, REALTOR ® CRS,ABR,PSA,RCS-D, CFSP regarding this.

Same in my market - tracking by zip code, and in some cases, schools. A home across the street might attend a different school. 

Having a long prior career on Wall Street- yes, I monitor this stat and lots of others. Time on market is a key indicator here because 4 months on the market - the listing tends to sell at around a 9% discount to original asking price. After 6 months, that spread  widens to a 14% discount to original asking price. 

There are many numbers to be evaluated. I do not track them all.

Great question Peter Mohylsky, www.athome30a as far as I know the market is very stable here.

Being retired I have access to very little market info. That said in the new construction arena, which is plentiful in my area, prices saw incentives in December 2025, but prices are creeping yo slowly. 

Seasonal fluctuations could depend on a lot of factors, how are your numbers compared to this time last year?

Peter, used to include this in my analysis but since I learned crisp & sharp pricing, no need Peter Mohylsky, www.athome30a
