Homes for Sale in Del Mar, CA

Del Mar is one of San Diego's smallest but wealthiest coastal towns, just over two square miles between La Jolla and Solana Beach. Inventory is mostly oceanfront or ocean-view condos plus a smaller number of detached single-family homes in Olde Del Mar and the hillside areas east of the 5. The Colony and the Beach Colony offer walk-to-sand condo living, while the Crest and Del Mar Heights trend larger and inland with ocean views. Fractional ownership and second-home buyers drive significant market activity, especially in the $2M+ band.

Del Mar's appeal is the combination of small-town scale (population under 5,000), two miles of walkable beach, and the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club's summer racing meet. The Del Mar Union and San Dieguito Union High school districts are consistently among the top-rated in California. Del Mar climate is mild year-round with morning fog common in May and June. Property tax runs around 1.05% under Prop 13, and beach-adjacent insurance can add meaningful cost for exposed properties. Traffic on Camino Del Mar is the local adjustment. A 2-mile drive at peak can feel longer than it should.
