FAQs – San Diego Multifamily Market
How long does a probate apartment sale take in San Diego?
Cap rate depends on submarket, asset condition, unit mix, and buyer demand. A 6-unit in North Park will not trade at the same cap rate as a 20-unit in East County. Accurate valuation requires zip-code-level transaction analysis.
Do you work directly with attorneys?
Cap rates have already expanded from 2021 lows and are currently stabilizing near 4.8–4.9%.
Major expansion would likely require significant interest rate shifts.
