2019 Quarter 2 Downtown San Diego Market Update
The number of sales is up 27.33% when compared to the first quarter of this year. We went from 150 sales from January through March to 191 sales from April through June. That is an average of 13.67 more homes selling per month in Downtown San Diego.
In finishing Quarter 1 of 2019, we were sitting at a 6.04 month supply of inventory. We are now currently sitting at a 4.98 month supply, which suggests that it is a fairly balanced market but tipping slightly in favor of sellers. Inventory differs a lot based on the price range, which you can see from the numbers below.
One thing that doesn’t show in the numbers below are the sales in new construction. Savina is projected to begin closing in June and will take a few months, but it adds over 160 sales in downtown this year! Also, Pacific Gate is over 90% sold out!
In this market, it is extremely important to use a professional. It is vital to position your property correctly to insure getting the most money possible in the shortest amount of time. Find out what common mistakes sellers make when selling their property in Downtown San Diego so you can save yourself both time and money!

$1,000,000-$1,499,999
Sales grew by 7.69% in this price range with an average of 4.67 homes selling per month. We are at a 7.29 month supply of inventory in this price range, which favors a buyer. There are big differences between what is selling and what is sitting in this range though. I did a separate study analyzing what is selling. Approximately 71% of the property selling in this range were above the 10th floor and consisted of a minimum of 1,500 sf, but only 21% of the current active inventory meets this criteria.

$1,500,000-$2,499,999
This price range had zero sales in the second quarter of this year. That is very unusual, but also doesn’t tell the whole story. If we were to factor in the sales in Savina and Pacific Gate, there would be quite a bit of activity in this range, but since the new home sales aren’t public, it is difficult to say how many closings there actually were in this range.
