The Rieder Homes Podcast

Are home prices in San Diego finally coming down? The national headlines say the market is cooling, and in some ways it is. But the actual data tells a more nuanced story. We break down what's really happening with home prices in San Diego County, from a 1.1% year-over-year increase despite a slower market to why inventory levels show we're nowhere near a crash. Whether you're buying or selling, the numbers point to a stabilizing market with real opportunities on both sides. Watch our video for the full breakdown.

How accurate is your Zillow estimate? If you're buying or selling in San Diego, the number you see online might be further off than you think. We recently listed a home where Zillow was $50,000 under the real value because the algorithm was working off outdated tax records that didn't include a 400-square-foot addition. On unlisted homes, we're seeing a 6-7% margin of error, which on a $600,000 home could mean a $40,000 difference. Watch our video to see why the Zestimate gets it wrong and what to do instead.

If you're considering buying a rental property or managing one you already own, screening tenants is one of the most important steps you can take. In our latest video, we’ll show you what to check when screening potential tenants in 2026. From verifying financial stability and rental history to conducting background checks and understanding pet policies, this will help ensure you select only the best tenants for your property. If you’re serious about protecting your investment and avoiding potential headaches, check this out.

Selling in 2026 is not just about putting a sign in the yard. It is about getting your home ready for the buyer, and ready for the bank, so your sale does not stall mid-process. We’re sharing the four steps that consistently help our San Diego sellers earn more, starting with a clean, neutral first impression and ending with the right price to drive showings. You’ll also hear how we handled a recent sale with an ADU and rural details that could have created buyer objections. Catch the full video and reach out if you want our market-ready checklist.
