What does it cost to sell a home in San Diego?

Commission is the biggest cost, and it is negotiable — there is no standard rate. At the 5.7% national average total commission (Clever Real Estate survey of 533 agents, February 2026), selling the median San Diego home ($1,190,200) costs about $67,841. Every percentage point negotiated off that rate keeps about $11,902 with the seller — which is why having several agents quote against each other matters more here than in a cheaper market.
