Oceanside Homes for Sale

The Oceanside housing market saw a year-over-year price decline in May 2025, with the median home price dropping 5.8% to $858K. Price per square foot also fell 6.8% to $537, reflecting potential affordability adjustments or a shift in the types of homes selling. Sales volume dipped slightly as well—148 homes sold compared to 162 last year—indicating buyer caution amid shifting market conditions, though demand remains steady overall.

Despite the price softening, Oceanside remains very competitive. Homes typically receive three offers and sell in about 27 days, though hot listings can go pending in just 10 days and sell for 2% above list price. Most homes close at or near asking price, signaling that well-priced properties are still moving quickly, particularly those in desirable neighborhoods or move-in ready condition.

As of June 2025, Oceanside is still a seller’s market, with demand exceeding available inventory. However, longer time on market and falling prices suggest that buyers have gained some negotiating room compared to last year. For sellers, pricing in line with recent comps and preparing listings thoroughly remains critical. For buyers, the current landscape offers a chance to enter a competitive market with slightly more leverage—especially if targeting homes that have lingered past the initial launch window.
