The market, in perspective
Three areas. Separate market stories.
September 2026 data · Published October 15, 2026. A clear look at prices, sales, inventory, and marketing time.
These reports use ZIP 92037, 92067, 92091, and 92130 as labeled geographic proxies. ZIPs do not match every community boundary. Detached and attached properties are shown separately. A median describes the homes that sold, not the value of your home. Small samples can create large changes.

Rancho Santa Fe
ZIP 92067’s detached segment recorded a longer marketing period among September sales, with 17 closings and fewer homes for sale than a year earlier. The price received relative to the original asking price remains useful context when planning a launch or reviewing an offer.
This is a varied estate market. Condition, site usability, architecture, and the specific community can make broad medians a poor substitute for comparable properties. The attached segment had just one closing, so it offers little basis for a general price conclusion.

Carmel Valley
Carmel Valley’s September report shows a clear split. Detached inventory fell and closings increased, while attached inventory rose and sales slowed. The marketing period among closed attached sales was longer than a year earlier.
Sellers should choose comparisons within the same property type and competitive set. Buyers comparing a house with a condo should weigh association costs and maintenance alongside price. The two segments’ medians describe different groups of homes; they are not a forecast for a particular property.

Open Carmel Valley report →How to read these numbers
Detached means stand-alone houses; attached includes the source’s condo and townhome category. Days on market until sale follows SDAR’s metric and is not labeled a median. Inventory is the source’s homes-for-sale figure. Months of inventory relates available supply to the source’s sales pace. Original list price received is not the same as final list price received.
Prices do not account for concessions or down-payment assistance. A dash means the source did not report a value, often because no sales closed. Reports may be revised by the source. This page shows the latest verified published period, not live MLS inventory or a forecast.

La Jolla’s September figures show why property type matters. Detached closings were lower than a year earlier, while attached sales were closer to the prior-year pace. Both segments recorded fewer days on market among the homes that sold.
The attached median rose sharply, but 21 closings are a small sample. That change does not establish the appreciation of an individual condo. For sellers, compare similar buildings, view positions, and floor plans. For buyers, review active competition and ownership documents alongside recent sales.
