Clients often ask me, how does San Diego stack up to Orange County, or LA, or Santa Barbara? The answer: beautifully.
While OC and LA still post higher median home values, San Diego’s luxury sector is outperforming in value retention and lifestyle satisfaction. According to a recent Axios report citing Zillow data (2025), San Diego is now one of the top 20 hottest real estate markets nationwide, and the only Southern California city to move up in rank.
