Solana Beach 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 Solana Beach buyers and sellers, from condos on the coastal bluffs to single-family homes off Lomas Santa Fe Drive, and I help owners plan ADUs here too.

Zach's track record
The Solana Beach housing market
In September 2026, the median home in 92075 sold for $1,974,420, up 9.7% from a year earlier. Homes sold in a median of 31 days, for 97.3% of list price on average, and 49 homes sold, down from 52 a year before.
If you’re selling
Prices are up from last year, but buyers are negotiating, with homes selling for about 97% of list price on average. Homes priced from the right nearby sales sell in about a month, while homes priced too high tend to sit.
If you’re buying
Solana Beach offers condos and homes near the coastal bluffs and Cedros Avenue, plus single-family neighborhoods east of I-5. Buyers often have room to negotiate, so get pre-approved and be ready to move when the right home comes up.
If you own and want more income
Many Solana Beach lots can add a detached ADU, a converted ADU, and a JADU. Most of the city is in the Coastal Zone, so plan for a coastal permit and check grading limits before you design.

Solana Beach packs beaches, Cedros Avenue, and a train station into a few square miles, with Del Mar, Encinitas, and I-5 right next door. I’ll help you find the street that fits.
Adding an ADU in Solana Beach
Solana Beach is its own city, so ADUs follow the City of Solana Beach’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: the city must allow at least an 800-square-foot ADU with 4-foot side and rear setbacks. Larger units are tied to lot size and zone, and ADUs under 750 square feet don’t pay impact fees.
- Coastal permit: most of Solana Beach is in the Coastal Zone. After the city’s planning review, many ADUs also need a coastal development permit from the California Coastal Commission, which adds time.
- Grading and rentals: an ADU isn’t allowed where it needs more than 50 cubic yards of grading, and ADUs can only be rented for 30 days or more.
- Rules change, so confirm details with the City of Solana Beach 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.”
