San Diego market rental trends report

Over the past 3 to 6 months, San Diego rents have increased modestly, by roughly 1–2%, with gains concentrated in one and two-bedroom units while studio pricing remained largely flat. The upward pressure has been driven by continued demand in coastal and central neighborhoods, combined with limited turnover in existing stock, even as additional supply in inland submarkets helped keep growth measured. Overall, the market shows steady but controlled momentum rather than acceleration. As of Q4 2025, the median rent in San Diego is approximately $2,900 per month.
