Average Sales Price
The Average Sales Price is often viewed as a barometer for the market’s health, and this month it didn’t disappoint. We’ve witnessed a remarkable ascent to $1,111,958, representing a 22.09% increase from August. Even more impressive is the 31.70% growth from September 2022. Much of the growth in the average sales price is due to there being more activity over $1m. In September, there were 9 sales over $1.5m, 3 of which were over $2m. That is quite a bit of activity for Downtown San Diego.
Median Sales Price
The Median Sales Price provides a balanced perspective, eliminating extreme outliers. For September, the figure settled at $749,000. Although this represents a slight 0.27% decrease from the previous month, it’s heartening to note a 1.63% rise year over year. Such stability in median prices signals a healthy market equilibrium.
Price Per Square Foot

Active Market Time
An intriguing trend this month is the Average Active Market Time, which extended to 50 days. This doubling from last month and the significant 92.31% increase from the previous year indicates a shift. It suggests that buyers are taking a more deliberate approach in their decision-making, weighing their options carefully.
Months Supply of Inventory
One of the standout metrics this month is the Months Supply of Inventory, which has climbed to 3.44 months. This 40.56% rise from August and a 41.85% increase year over year is noteworthy. A higher supply typically indicates a shift towards a buyer’s market, where purchasers have more choices and negotiation power. Sellers should be strategic in pricing and marketing to ensure their properties stand out in a more saturated market.
