The median U.S. home bought last year was the oldest on record — and it was even older in San Diego, per a Redfin analysis.
Why it matters: The region's aging housing stock reflects years of sluggish home building that has created a stubborn shortage.
By the numbers: The median home sold in San Diego last year was 43 years old, and 71% were over 30 years old.
Zoom out: Nationwide, the median home sold in 2024 was 36 years old, and 55% were 30 years or older.
The bottom line: Older homes tend to be cheaper.
