A 1970s planned community on the old Camp Elliott Marine training ground, bounded by the 15, the San Diego River and Mission Trails Regional Park.
Tierrasanta has held in a band. After a high of about $1M last fall, the three month median dropped to around $790K over the winter and has stayed between about $865K and $930K since. On a smoothed basis, Tierrasanta's median has risen roughly 16% over the past five years.
The recent median sits around $887,167, with about 2.0 months of supply, homes selling near 98.7% of original list, and a median of roughly 21 days on market.
Over five years the median sale price in Tierrasanta is up about 16% and the price per square foot is up about 17%. The two agree, which is what you want to see. It means the gain reflects prices rising rather than a shift in the kind of home selling, so the headline number is a fair read on what an owner 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.
Tierrasanta houses do not come up often. With supply around 2.0 months and homes going near 98.7% of list, be ready when the right village comes up.

Supply is running around 2.0 months. As long as listings stay scarce, prices hold firm; a rise in inventory would be the first sign of easing.
This is a move up and military market where most buyers finance, so rates matter here.
Get Pre-Approved →Tierrasanta was built in villages: Villa Monserate and Villa Barbados first in 1971, then Villa Portofino, Villa Trinidad and the rest. Tierrasanta Norte, El Dorado Hills and Regency Hill came later. Murphy Canyon in the southwest corner is Navy family housing. Canyon edge homes with open space behind them sell at a premium.
No Mello Roos. The whole community carries the Tierrasanta maintenance assessment, in place since 1972, which pays for medians, canyons, trails and open space. Many condo and townhome plans add HOA dues.
The government took 27,700 acres for Camp Elliott in 1941. After the Navy declared most of it surplus, the city annexed it in 1960 and it was sold off through the 1960s, and Christiana Community Builders started building in 1971. The western part was renamed Tierrasanta in 1980. Old ordnance has turned up here: in 1983 two 8 year old boys were killed by a World War II round, and the Army Corps cleared the area in the early 1990s and still reviews it every five years. About two thirds of the homes outside Murphy Canyon are single family. Miramar is to the north, and the community plan flags jet noise on the north side. 92124 is the ZIP.
