San Elijo Hills Market Update — July 2026

Home Prices

In July 2026, the average sales price for detached homes in San Elijo Hills was $2,068,545, and $840,000 for condos

Sales Activity

12 homes closed escrow during the month
22 homes are currently listed for sale
11 homes are in escrow and awaiting closing

Sales Price vs. List Price

Homes sold for an average of 98.4% of their list price, showing that sellers are still achieving prices close to asking, while buyers may have some room to negotiate depending on the property.

Days on Market & Price Per Square Foot

The average time on market was 32 days, while the average sales price per square foot was $583.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

The San Elijo Hills real estate market continues to move at a more measured pace than the highly competitive market of recent years. Buyers generally have more time to evaluate homes, conduct due diligence, and negotiate, while sellers need to be increasingly thoughtful about pricing and presentation.

For sellers, the market rewards homes priced correctly from the start. Buyers are paying close attention to condition, location, upgrades, and comparable sales, while overpriced homes are more likely to experience longer market times and price reductions.

For buyers, the increase in available inventory is creating more choice and potential negotiating opportunities. However, the best homes can still attract strong interest, making it important to structure a well-informed offer based on the property, competition, and seller motivation.
