North San Diego County:

A Look at the August 2025 Detached Home Market

 

The North San Diego County real estate market for detached single-family homes in August 2025 showed a mix of positive and slowing trends, reflecting a shifting landscape for both buyers and sellers.

 

Perhaps the most significant news for sellers is the continued appreciation of home values. The median sales price climbed to $1,210,000, a solid 4.8% increase from August 2024. Closed sales also saw a positive uptick, with 651 homes sold, representing a 3.0% increase year-over-year.

 

The market is also showing signs of a decrease in new listing inventory largely caused by sellers withdrawing homes from the market if their home is sitting and not selling. The number of new listings saw a sharp decline of 21.3% to 806 homes for the month. At the same time, homes are taking significantly longer to sell, with the average number of days on the market jumping 50.0% to 36 days. The percentage of the original list price received also decreased to 95.8%, suggesting that buyers are gaining more negotiating power.

 

Overall, while prices and sales remain strong, the market is becoming more balanced. This environment gives buyers more time to make a decision and sellers a sign to be more strategic with their pricing.
