What Buyers Should Know
- Mid-tier neighborhoods (Chula Vista, Escondido, Santee) now offer more room to negotiate than any point in the past 18 months.
- Rate buydowns and closing cost credits are on the table again — ask your agent to structure them into your offer.
- Luxury and coastal properties remain competitive. Move quickly on well priced listings in La Jolla, Del Mar, and Coronado.
What Sellers Should Know
- Pricing to market matters more than ever. Overpriced homes are sitting and eventually reducing.
- Presentation drives premium offers. Professional photography, staging, and a strong first weekend still deliver above list results.
- Coastal luxury sellers retain leverage. Multiple offer scenarios remain realistic with the right marketing plan.
