Sherman Heights and Golden Hill
Next door: a San Diego neighborhood that cost eighty dollars.
The old neighborhoods just southeast of downtown along the bay: Victorian cottages, Chicano Park under the Coronado Bridge, and the shipyards on Harbor Drive.
Logan Heights and Barrio Logan moved up this year. The three month median ran around $600K to $650K last winter, rose to about $750K over the summer and was near $706K in September. On a smoothed basis, the median here has risen roughly 27% over the past five years.
The recent median sits around $705,667, with about 3.2 months of supply, homes selling near 100.2% of original list, and a median of roughly 15 days on market.
Over five years the median sale price in Logan Heights is up about 27%, but the price per square foot is up about 15%. Those two usually move together. When the median runs well ahead, it is mostly a sign that larger or higher end homes make up more of what sells now, not that any given house gained 27%. The price per square foot figure is the closer read on what an owner actually gained.
Price per square foot is the sale price divided by the home's interior square footage.
Both figures use the same smoothed five year comparison: the average of the last twelve monthly medians against the average of the first twelve. A gap of eight points or more is treated as a mix shift. That threshold was set by testing, not picked: an earlier version flagged nine of nineteen areas, which is noise. It now flags eight of forty.
The range is wide here, so compare condition more than price per foot. With supply around 3.2 months and homes going near 100.2% of list, the good ones still sell at or over asking.
September homes sold in a median of about 15 days. Condition drives the price here more than size.
Supply is running around 3.2 months. As long as listings stay scarce, prices hold firm; a rise in inventory would be the first sign of easing.
Most buyers here finance, many for the first time, so rate moves show up quickly.

Logan Avenue was named in 1886 for Congressman John A. Logan, who pushed for a railroad terminus in San Diego, and by 1905 the area was called Logan Heights. The cottages date from the 1880s boom through the 1920s, in Victorian, Craftsman and bungalow court styles. In 1963 the 5 freeway split the neighborhood and the bay side became Barrio Logan. When the city started building a CHP station under the new Coronado Bridge in 1970, residents occupied the land and got Chicano Park, now a National Historic Landmark with what is described as the largest collection of outdoor murals in the country. The Blue Line stops at Barrio Logan. 92113 is the ZIP.
