Overall sales volume in June increased significantly, by 32%, from May, and for detached and attached homes. Average time on market shifted up modestly for both detached and attached homes, but remains below 1 month.
15% of the transactions were for cash, compared to 18% last month. Buyers negotiated their asking prices on average by 2 - 3%, but 38% of the homes sold at or above asking price! The median sales price of detached homes was $694,820 (up 1%) and $499,000 (up 21%) for attached homes/condos/town homes.
There were 6 San Marcos homes for sale at the end of June with a Contingent status (3% of the total), i.e., typically these are homes with offers awaiting approval from short sale and REO lenders, compared to 14 last month. These homes are included in the overall Active statistics since they are still considered active until the approvals are obtained (be aware that these may have multiple offers in place; some are not being shown nor accepting more offers).
The San Marcos real estate market inventory increased again, up 20% from May, to 200. This represents an inventory of 2.1 months for attached homes (up from 1.6 months last month) and 1.8 months for detached (the same as last month) based on the current rate of sales over the last 3 months. Despite the significant increase in inventory the San Marcos real estate market remains a very strong seller’s market given the buyer demand.
In June 2018 we saw 154 homes come on the market, a slight decrease in new listings by 1% from last month. The number of homes going pending in June also decreased, but more significantly, by 9% to 96 pendings.
