Put the data to work

Coverage: Closed sales of single-family homes, condos, and townhouses with a San Diego, CA address. Latest window August through October 2026, compared with May through July 2026.

Source: Closed residential MLS sales. TurboHome analysis.

Rows retained: Neighborhood and ZIP rows need at least 8 closings in the latest window. An asterisk marks a $/sqft row with fewer than 8 closings in the earlier window. ZIP rows combine all property types.

List-price measure: The average percentage each sale closed above or below its final list price. Sales that closed at less than half or more than double their list price are left out as likely data errors. This measures negotiation, not appreciation.

$/sqft: Median closed price per square foot of living area in each window. Values below $50 or above $5,000 per square foot are left out.

Days on market: Days on market as reported on each listing, grouped into under 14, 14 to 30, and more than 30 days. Sales without a days-on-market value are left out of those shares.

Data timing: Data pulled November 2, 2026. Sales that closed near the end of the window may still be posting, so the latest counts can rise slightly.

Important: Data is informational, has not been independently verified, and may differ from other reports because of cutoff dates, cleaning rules, or neighborhood definitions.
