Most-listed models in San Diego, August 2026
"Same-year change" compares only model years with at least 3 listings in both July 2026 and August 2026, so a month that happened to list newer cars doesn't read as a price rise. It is blank when fewer than 10 listings could be compared. The raw change is shown for reference and does not control for model year.
