San Diego Market Update - September 2025
September San Diego Real Estate Update: Falling Rates, Local Events & Wildfire Protection
As the summer heat continues here in San Diego, there’s finally some good news for the housing market: mortgage rates are starting to come down. After months of climbing, rates have already dipped by about half a percent, and industry experts predict they’ll continue trending lower in the months ahead.
For San Diego real estate buyers, this means more purchasing power and better opportunities to make a move. For sellers, lower rates can help bring more qualified buyers into the market, making it an encouraging shift for both sides.

Community Spotlight: Ember Pro Wildfire Protection
With rising temperatures also comes the reality of wildfire season in San Diego. This month, I had the chance to connect with a local company called Ember Pro, and what they’re doing to protect homeowners is truly impressive.
Ember Pro has developed a system that sprays a non-toxic fire inhibitor on your home when a fire is nearby. Even better—you can activate it right from your phone. That means if you need to evacuate, you can still take action to protect your property from embers, which are the leading cause of homes catching fire during wildfires.
Beyond peace of mind, Ember Pro’s system can also save homeowners money. Many clients are able to reduce their insurance premiums or even get off the California FAIR Plan by installing the system. That’s both a safety and financial win for homeowners across San Diego.
I recently attended one of Ember Pro’s live demonstrations, and seeing their system in action gave me so much confidence in how effective it can be.
