San Diego doesn't have one housing market right now. It has two.

The county headline says 3.0 months of supply, a seller's market (Redfin, August 2026). Split it by property type and the picture changes:

• Single-family homes: 2.3 months of supply, inventory down 20.7% from a year ago, median price $1,120,000 (+4.7%).
• Condos and townhomes: 4.0 months of supply, inventory up 4.6%, median price $670,000 (+0.1%), and 44 days to sell.
(SDAR, August 2026)

Rising inventory, longer days on market, flat prices. That's the early softening pattern, and right now it's showing up in condos, not houses.

North County is the exception worth knowing. Condo inventory here is still down 18.8% and prices are up 2.7% (NSDCAR, August 2026). The build-up is a central and south county story.

Then layer on rates. The 30-year fixed hit 7.03% this week (Freddie Mac, Sept 24), and the Fed raised rates on Sept 16. That puts a ceiling on how far any segment can run.

The takeaway: before you price, offer, or wait, find out which of the two markets you're in. The county average won't tell you.

If you want the numbers for your city and property type, send me a message and I'll pull them.

☀️Spring is here, but it's gotten too hot for my artichoke plant to handle (Castroville cousins would be shocked by these temps)... still thankful for the harvest and excited for zucchini and cantaloupe 🍈

Deep diving into coding these past few days… Real estate + AI + Automation + MCP = Systems that scour, underwrite, and help automate some of the things that can take time and may need a routine and daily process to truly be consistent and successful.

Yeppp

This man has enough monitors to control air traffic across three continents, track the stock market, launch a satellite, and probably monitor the temperature of Jupiter… and yet somehow the one thing he cannot locate is the tiny white arrow that decides where his entire productivity goes.

Every programmer, trader, engineer, or office worker knows this moment. You have six screens open, twenty tabs running, dashboards blinking, graphs moving, alerts flashing… and suddenly your mouse moves but nothing happens. The cursor has vanished into the digital void.

Now the hunt begins. Eyes scanning every monitor like a security camera operator searching for a suspect. Is it hiding in the corner of screen three? Did it drift onto the vertical monitor? Is it stuck on the laptop screen you forgot was open behind everything?

You start shaking the mouse like it owes you money. You wiggle it left, right, up, down, hoping the cursor will magically reveal itself like a shy animal emerging from the bushes.

Meanwhile the coworker walking by assumes you are deep in complex analytics, carefully studying financial graphs across eight displays. In reality you are just sitting there thinking the most relatable sentence in modern office history: where the hell is the cursor.

Something big happened in the financial world this morning — and I think it matters for every wellness professional building something here in North County 🌊
Nasdaq just announced a partnership to build tokenization infrastructure for real estate.
Big things are happening in the financial world that directly affect how you can access real estate.
On January 19, 2026, the NYSE announced a 24/7 blockchain platform for tokenized securities — fractional ownership, instant settlement, stablecoin funding. Working with BNY and Citi. This isn’t a concept. It’s in regulatory approval now.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has called tokenization “the next generation of financial markets.” Their BUIDL fund just crossed $2 billion in tokenized assets — and they’ve named it a key investment theme for 2026.
Meanwhile, platforms like Lofty.ai and RealT are already doing this for real estate — fractional rental properties starting at $50, with daily income distributions sent directly to investors.
The traditional barriers? — $25K–$100K minimums — Accreditation requirements — Years of illiquidity
Those are being rebuilt.
$24 billion in tokenized real-world assets. Up 266% in a year.
As a wellness professional, you already understand recurring revenue and the long game. The bottleneck has always been access — and that bottleneck is being removed.
If you’re a health or wellness entrepreneur who’s been heads-down building your business while real estate stayed on the back burner — this is for you. Stay tuned. 🌊
