One of the most accessible price points in the county — a diverse, revitalizing bayside city minutes from downtown San Diego and the waterfront.
National City offers real value close to the city center, and buyers are responding: homes sell in about two weeks and right around ask. Affordability keeps demand steady.
The trailing-3-month median sits around $727,000, with about 3.5 months of supply, homes selling near 99.2% of original price, and a median of roughly 14 days on market.
National City is a rare affordable foothold this close to downtown and the bay, so well-priced homes move fast. Come pre-approved and ready to compete.
With homes selling in about two weeks at roughly full ask, National City sellers benefit from steady, value-driven demand. Prepare well and price to the trend.
Supply is running around 3.5 months. As long as listings stay scarce, prices hold firm; a meaningful rise in inventory would be the first sign of easing.
Rates sit higher than they were a couple of years ago — the main headwind on demand. A meaningful drop would likely bring buyers off the sidelines quickly.
Affordability and a central location keep National City's market active and seller-favored, with quick sales and firm pricing at a friendlier entry point than most of San Diego.
This is a focused market, so a single month's median can spike or dip. Weigh the multi-year trajectory — the bold trend line above — over any one data point.
