Home Appreciation - Neighborhood vs. City
Rancho Bernardo's housing market has shown nuanced appreciation trends, with median prices rising 3.2% year-over-year as of February 2025 despite a 57% increase in average days on market compared to the same period. The neighborhood exhibits divergent performance across housing segments, as 5+ bedroom properties surged 19% in value over the past year while smaller homes saw more modest gains of 3-7%. Current conditions favor sellers with homes receiving multiple offers and selling near asking prices, though expanding inventory has begun moderating price growth in entry-level segments compared to late 2024 peaks.
