Blog > A Rare Buyer Opportunity in San Diego (But Not for Long)
For months, patience paid off for San Diego homebuyers. Slower price growth, increased inventory, and fewer bidding wars created a rare moment of negotiating power in a market that’s typically fast-paced and competitive.
That moment is changing.

The Market Has Shifted
With multiple recent interest rate cuts, borrowing power has increased significantly. When buyers can afford more, demand rises—and history consistently shows what follows: more competition, faster decision-making, and upward pressure on prices.
As more buyers re-enter the market, we’re already seeing early signs of tightening conditions. Homes are receiving more showings, multiple-offer scenarios are returning in key neighborhoods, and sellers are regaining leverage.
Why Timing Matters
There’s a brief window that tends to open when rates drop before prices adjust. This is the sweet spot—when monthly payments are lower, but home values haven’t yet climbed to reflect the renewed demand.
Waiting often means paying more later for the same home. Either through a higher purchase price, increased competition, or both.
What This Means for Buyers
If you’ve been considering a move, this is a strategic moment to act—not impulsively, but intentionally. Success right now requires:
-
A clear buying plan
-
Strong local market insight
-
Smart negotiation strategies
-
Guidance on when to move quickly and when to hold firm
