San Diego closed Q3 2025 with occupancy at 96.3% in August, up 10 basis points year-over-year and a substantial 160 basis points above the U.S. average, even as 2023 and 2024 ranked as decade peaks for deliveries. Asking rents dipped a modest 0.2% on a trailing three-month basis through September to $2,732, reflecting continued absorption of that prior supply. Construction slowed but remained active, with 12,474 units underway as of September. The metro added 6,300 net jobs through July, led by education and health services and government, while employment growth continued to close the gap with the national rate. Long-term demand anchors include the planned redevelopment of the Navy's Point Loma campus and UC San Diego Health's multibillion-dollar Hillcrest rebuild.
