Old Town real estate agent for buying, selling, and ADUs.
I’m Zach, a real estate broker at Utmost. I’ve personally closed $201 million in home sales across 267 transactions, I work with Old Town buyers and sellers, from condos near the Old Town Transit Center to single-family homes in Bay Park, and I help owners plan ADUs here too.

Zach's track record
The Old Town housing market
In September 2026, the median home in 92110 sold for $766,775, down 2.9% from a year earlier. Homes sold in a median of 36 days, for 98.9% of list price on average, and 69 homes sold, down from 75 a year before.
If you’re selling
Prices are down slightly from last year and fewer homes sold, so buyers have time to compare. Homes priced from the right nearby sales are still selling for close to full price in about five weeks.
If you’re buying
The 92110 area offers condos near Old Town and the trolley, plus single-family homes in Bay Park with views toward Mission Bay. With prices a little softer than last year, get pre-approved so you can negotiate from a strong position.
If you own and want more income
Many single-family lots in Bay Park and Morena have room for a detached ADU or a garage conversion. Hillside lots, the coastal zone, and airport noise areas need a closer look before you design.

Adding an ADU in Old Town
Old Town is in the City of San Diego, so ADUs follow the city’s rules. Here is what shapes most projects.
- How many: a single-family lot can usually add one detached ADU, one converted ADU, and one JADU of up to 500 square feet inside the home.
- Size and setbacks: a detached ADU can be up to 1,200 square feet, with 4-foot side and rear setbacks.
- Parking: usually none required within a half mile of major transit. Many addresses near the Old Town Transit Center and the Morena Boulevard trolley stations qualify, but check your address.
- Coastal and airport areas: lots in the coastal zone or near San Diego International Airport’s flight path can need extra review, such as a coastal development permit or noise standards.
- Bonus ADUs: the city’s ADU Home Density Bonus Program can allow more units on some lots, but the City Council narrowed it in 2025 and added parking and fee requirements for many projects.
- Rules change, so confirm details with the City of San Diego before you design.
What clients say
“The process of selling our home was incredibly smooth and not stressful one bit because of Zach! Our house was only on the market for 4 days and we got $50,000 over asking!”
“This was our 3rd time selling a home and Zach was the best agent we've ever worked with. He has a dialed in process, he's organized and he's data driven.”
“We were told not to expect a “deal”—just to get in the market and start building equity. But Zach found us a steal.”
