San Diego's bohemian beach town, a walkable pier community with cottages, condos, and serious coastal demand.
OB is a tiny, tightly-held beach market, so the median swings hard, but the long-run trend is up and price-per-foot is among the city's highest. On a smoothed basis, Ocean Beach's median has risen roughly 27% over the past five years, and it's pushed back toward record territory in 2026.
The recent median sits around $1.33M, with about 2.2 months of supply, homes selling near 98.8% of original list, and a median of roughly 15 days on market.
Over five years the median sale price in Ocean Beach is up about 27% and the price per square foot is up about 20%. The two are close, with the median a few points ahead, so most of the gain is prices rising and a little of it is a shift toward bigger or higher end homes selling.
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.
Small and coveted, homes near the beach move in days, so come with financing lined up. With supply around 2.2 months and homes going near 98.8% of list, come in fully pre-approved and ready to move.
Beach-close OB homes sell fast and at full price; the constraint is supply, not demand. Priced right, Ocean Beach homes are selling close to ask in about 15 days.
Supply is running around 2.2 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.
