What is behind the Point Loma number

$986Price / sq ft today
+32%Price / sq ft, 5 yr
Median sale priceMedian price per sq ftBoth set to 100 at the start of 2021, so they can be compared on one scale.

Over five years the median sale price in Point Loma is up about 26% and the price per square foot is up about 32%. The two are close, with the price per square foot a few points ahead, so values rose a little more than the headline median shows.

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.

What It Means For You

For buyers

A premium coastal market. Inventory is scarce, so be ready to move on the right home. With supply around 3.0 months and homes going near 99.9% of list, come in fully pre-approved and ready to move.

For sellers

Views and location carry a premium here; condition and staging set the ceiling. Priced right, Point Loma homes are selling close to ask in about 13 days.

Outlook & What to Watch

Inventory

Supply is running around 3.0 months. As long as listings stay scarce, prices hold firm; a rise in inventory would be the first sign of easing.

Mortgage rates

Rates sit higher than a year ago, the main headwind on demand. A meaningful drop would likely bring buyers off the sidelines fast.
