San Diego home values and housing data, from records we hold.
The figures for San Diego’s homes below are computed from records we hold ourselves — county parcels swept into our own store, plus 1,055 automated value estimates in a sample that covers part of San Diego — not scraped from another site. A figure from anywhere else — a survey’s rate, an example price, a published metro reading — is named as that where it appears.

How much are homes in San Diego, CA estimated to be worth?
$1,188,600 is the middle of 1,055 automated value estimates in a sample that covers part of San Diego — not sale prices, and not a citywide median. The middle half of that sample runs from $890,000 to $1,618,700. Each estimate is a model's output for one home — a starting point, not an appraisal.
What does a typical San Diego home look like?
Across 308,707 residential county parcels in San Diego: the median home is 1,444 square feet with 3 bedrooms, built around 1979 (about 47 years old), on a 6,600 sq ft lot. 64% of parcels are single-family homes and 33% are condominiums.
What does it cost to sell a home in San Diego?
Commission is negotiable; there is no standard rate. As an example, on a $900,000 home the 5.46% national average total commission in the Clever Real Estate survey of 434 agents, August 2026, which adds the listing and buyer-agent sides together, is about $49,140, and each point of commission is about $9,000. $900,000 is an example price for a home in San Diego, not a statistic. Escrow, title and other closing costs are separate and are not estimated here. Run your own numbers in the San Diego commission calculator.
How do San Diego home values compare with other California cities?
San Diego's figure is $1,188,600, the middle of 1,055 automated value estimates in a sample that covers part of San Diego — not sale prices, and not a citywide median. The same figure for the other California cities we hold a sample for: Los Angeles $1,430,600 (1,020 estimates), San Jose $1,555,550 (1,042) and Sacramento $492,200 (1,038). Each sample covers part of its city, and a different part in each, so the order of these figures is not a ranking of the cities. To compare the cities themselves, use a published citywide or metro figure rather than these samples.
How much do home values vary within San Diego?
Inside the sample we hold, the 25th-percentile estimate is $890,000 and the 75th is $1,618,700 — the top of the middle half sits 82% above the bottom, a very wide band. That is the spread of 1,055 automated value estimates in a sample that covers part of San Diego, not of the whole city. What a home in North Park, Point Loma or La Jolla is worth depends on distance to the coast and the quality of the outdoor space, both of which price steeply here, so recent sales within a few blocks say more about one home than the middle of any sample.
How old are San Diego's homes, and what kind are they?
The median San Diego home was built around 1979, which makes the typical house about 47 years old — 1970s construction. Buyers price that age into their offer: roofs, wiring, plumbing and windows of that era are either already replaced or on the list, and the county record shows which. The median parcel is a 6,600 sq ft lot (about 0.15 acres), the conventional suburban footprint. Condominiums are 33% of parcels, so a large share of sellers here are pricing a unit against its building and HOA, not a lot. These are medians across all 308,707 residential parcels we hold for San Diego, not a sample.
What is the San Diego housing market doing right now?
The typical mid-tier home value across the San Diego, CA metro area was $930,785 as of August 2026; the median sale price was $890,000 (August 2026); 35.1% of homes sold above asking and the average sale closed at 99.3% of list; 2,299 new listings came to market in August 2026. That is a balanced market: pricing discipline decides whether a home sells in weeks or sits. Our own figure is a different kind of number: $1,188,600 is the middle of 1,055 automated value estimates in a sample that covers part of San Diego — not sale prices, and not a citywide median. The metro figures cover the whole metro area and are not a valuation of any one home.
How do I find out what my own San Diego home is worth?
Enter your address on this page. We look up the county record for your home — size, lot, year built, last recorded sale — and show an automated estimate beside it, with no phone number and no agent calling you. Then, if you choose, post the home once: up to ten San Diego agents, ranked by verified performance and never by payment, each send a sealed proposal with their own pricing opinion and their fee in writing. So several written opinions of price and fee are worth more here than any single estimate.
Where these numbers come from
We maintain our own store of county assessor parcel records — 308,707 of them for San Diego so far, growing daily. Housing-stock figures are medians across 308,707 county assessor parcel records held first-party. Value figures come from 1,055 automated estimates, most fetched in August 2026, for homes among the 308,707 San Diego parcel records we hold. The sample was drawn when we held records for part of San Diego, so its middle is not a citywide median; automated estimates are not sale prices or appraisals. No figure is scraped from another website.
