Recent Real Estate News in Rainbow
County Inventory Holds Near 6,400 Active Listings, Months-of-Supply at 3.2 — San Diego County's active inventory has held near 6,400 listings into May 2026, with months-of-supply at about 3.2 — the most balanced reading since 2020 even though the market technically still favors sellers. Buyers in Rainbow have more selection and longer decision windows than they did a year ago.
30-Year Fixed Settles Near 6.36%, Roughly 45 BPS Below Last Spring — The average 30-year fixed has been holding near 6.36% — about 45 basis points below where it was in May 2025 (6.81%). Combined with the inventory bump, that is making Rainbow one of the more negotiable buying environments since 2019, with more sellers willing to offer credits or rate buy-downs.
Single-Family Holding Up Better Than Condos as HOA and Lender Friction Drags Attached — Single-family pricing across San Diego County has been roughly flat year over year while attached-product values are noticeably softer, dragged down by rising HOA dues and lender restrictions on some condo complexes. Valuations in Rainbow continue to track that split, with detached homes outperforming townhomes and condos.
