The ultra-luxury beach village — tiny, coveted, and among the highest-priced markets in San Diego County.
Del Mar is a small, high-end market, so the month-to-month line is jumpy — but the multi-year trajectory is firmly up. On a smoothed basis, Del Mar's median has risen roughly 38% over the past five years, and it's pushed back toward record territory in 2026.
The recent median sits around $3.24M, with about 3.1 months of supply, homes selling near 97.1% of original list, and a median of roughly 14 days on market.
It's thin and pricey — the right home is rare, so line up financing and move decisively when one appears. With supply around 3.1 months and homes going near 97.1% of list, come in fully pre-approved and ready to move.
A premium, low-supply market — the right buyer is out there; presentation and pricing set the ceiling. Priced right, Del Mar homes are selling close to ask in about 14 days.
Supply is running around 3.1 months. As long as listings stay scarce, prices hold firm; a rise in inventory would be the first sign of easing.
Rates sit higher than a year ago — the main headwind on demand. A meaningful drop would likely bring buyers off the sidelines fast.
Del Mar spans the beach colony and the village near the coast, plus Del Mar Heights inland — a wide spread in price and pace. Sub-area breakdowns coming.
Del Mar is a smaller market, so a single month's median can spike or dip. Weigh the multi-year trajectory over any one data point.
