Sapphire Tower MArket Analysis

Sapphire Tower 2025 Sold Condo Market Summary

In 2025, closed sales at Sapphire Tower in Downtown San Diego ranged from $940,000 to $1,579,000, with an average sold price of approximately $1,177,000. The median sold price was $1,013,000.

The average price per square foot across the three sales was approximately $778, while the median price per square foot was $790. Compared with some of the larger downtown luxury condo towers, Sapphire Tower’s 2025 sales showed a narrower price-per-square-foot range, from $733 to $810 per square foot.

The highest total sale was 1262 Kettner Blvd #901, which closed for $1,579,000. This was also the highest price-per-square-foot sale in the data set at approximately $810 per square foot. That sale is notable because it was a significantly larger 1,949 square foot residence and still achieved the strongest price-per-foot result among the recorded 2025 closings.

Two-Bedroom Sales Defined the Market

All three recorded Sapphire Tower sales in 2025 were two-bedroom residences. Two of the sales were the same 1,283 square foot floor plan: unit 1502 and unit 1702. Unit 1502 sold for $940,000, or $733 per square foot, while unit 1702 sold for $1,013,000, or $790 per square foot.

The difference between these two sales suggests that even within the same floor plan, pricing can vary meaningfully based on factors such as floor height, view quality, interior condition, upgrades, and seller motivation. Unit 1702 sold for approximately $73,000 more than unit 1502, despite having the same reported square footage.

The larger two-bedroom residence, unit 901, was the strongest sale of the year. At 1,949 square feet, it offered substantially more living space than the other two units and closed at $1,579,000. Its $810 per square foot result suggests buyers were willing to pay a premium for a larger residence, likely because of floor plan utility, livability, and overall value compared with smaller luxury condos in the downtown market.

Days on Market Showed a Sharp Contrast

The biggest story in the 2025 Sapphire Tower sales data is the difference in marketing time. The two 1,283 square foot residences took much longer to sell. Unit 1502 took 161 days to close, while unit 1702 took 150 days.

By contrast, unit 901 sold in only 1 day. This is a major difference and suggests that buyer demand was strongest for the larger, better-positioned, or better-priced residence. It also shows that the Sapphire Tower market was selective in 2025. Buyers were willing to move quickly when they saw value, but listings that were perceived as less compelling or priced too aggressively required a much longer marketing period.

The average days on market was approximately 104 days, but that number is heavily influenced by the two longer listings. The median was 150 days, which indicates that most of the recorded activity took time to transact, except for the standout sale of unit 901.

Sale-to-List Price Trends

Sapphire Tower condos sold for an average of approximately 96.8% of list price in 2025. Unit 901 sold at full asking price, closing at $1,579,000 against a list price of $1,579,000.

The other two sales closed below asking. Unit 1502 sold for $940,000 against a list price of $950,000, a relatively small discount. Unit 1702 had a more meaningful adjustment, selling for $1,013,000 against a list price of $1,100,000.

This suggests that buyers had negotiating leverage on listings that sat longer, while a well-priced or highly desirable residence could still sell immediately and at full asking price.

Overall Market Takeaway

The 2025 sales data shows that Sapphire Tower had a quieter resale year compared with larger downtown condo towers, but the building still attracted buyers at pricing generally in the $700s to low $800s per square foot.

The data also points to a selective market. Smaller two-bedroom units took several months to sell and required some price negotiation, while the larger 1,949 square foot residence sold almost immediately at full price. This indicates that buyers responded strongly to the right combination of size, value, floor plan, condition, and positioning.

Overall, Sapphire Tower’s 2025 market can be described as limited in activity, price-sensitive, and highly dependent on perceived value, with the strongest result coming from the largest residence in the data set.
