San Diego is in the middle of a significant multifamily supply wave — and it’s beginning to show up in rents, concessions, and vacancy. Learn where this is concentrated and the affects!
Under-market rents don’t just reduce monthly income — they directly compress your valuation, increase buyer leverage, and shift upside away from you and into the buyer’s hands.
With 209 five-plus unit buildings currently sitting on the market and an average 159 days on market, many San Diego sellers are hesitant to list heading into 2026. But capital is still actively seeking well-positioned assets — and with disciplined pricing and a consistent, multi-channel marketing strategy, properties are still trading well below the county average days on market.
San Diego multifamily lending has changed in 2026. Lenders are prioritizing in-place cash flow, tighter DSCR, and conservative assumptions — meaning refinance proceeds may be lower than expected. Understanding how your property underwrites today is critical before refinancing or selling.
When a multifamily property enters probate in San Diego, valuation becomes the foundation of every decision that follows.
Selling an apartment building through probate is not the same as selling a single family residence. Income property is valued based on performance, risk, and financeability. When trustees approach a multifamily sale emotionally or without specialized guidance, value is often left on the table.
In probate and trust sales, uncertainty creates risk. When beneficiaries do not receive consistent communication, assumptions fill the gap. Assumptions lead to conflict. Don't let this happen to you.
The 2–4 unit multifamily market occupies a unique space in San Diego real estate. Duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes behave very differently from larger apartment buildings because they qualify for residential financing rather than commercial underwriting.
Financing an apartment building is very different from financing a duplex or fourplex. Once a property reaches five units or more, lenders treat it as a commercial asset rather than residential real estate. This shift changes how the property is evaluated, how loans are structured, and what investors must demonstrate in order to secure financing.
