Why we recommend Ken Schwartz for Del Cerro
Del Cerro is a hilly residential neighborhood next to Lake Murray and San Diego State University, developed mostly between the 1950s and 1970s. Zillow's typical home value there was $1,331,550 in September 2026, up 4.5% in a year and 94.1% in ten years. Homes in its 92120 ZIP drew strong bidding: Redfin shows 42.3% of sales closing above list in the three months to September 2026.
Ken Schwartz names Del Cerro as his core market, and his website carries a 2026 Del Cerro guide and Del Cerro budget articles. His CENTURY 21 Affiliated office on Camino Del Rio North is a few minutes' drive away in Mission Valley. That focus is why we recommend him for this page. It is our recommendation only: talk to other agents who sell in 92120 too.

How Ken Schwartz works with Del Cerro buyers and sellers
Buying in Del Cerro with Ken Schwartz
Del Cerro is hilly, so views, lot grade and driveway access can differ a lot between neighboring homes. Ask him how he values a canyon-view lot against a flat one, whether a home sits in a CAL FIRE hazard zone (check the state's map), and how hillside drainage and retaining walls show up in inspections. With 3.0 months of supply in 92120, buyers have a little more choice than in tighter parts of the city.
