In April 2018 there were 99 homes sold in San Marcos’ 2 zip codes (92069 and 92078), an 8% increase in sales from last month. Here’s the breakdown of overall activity.

 

TOTAL HOMES SOLD

99 (up 8%), 16 Days on Market, Ave. Sales Price $718,128 (up 24%) Ave. sale 99% of asking price

Detached Homes Sold
72 (up 11%), 16 Days on Market, Ave. Sales Price $802,330 (up 21%), Ave. sale 99% of asking price

Attached Homes Sold
27 (down 4%), 16 Days on Market, Ave. Sales Price $493,588 (up 31%), Ave. sale 98% of asking price

 

Overall sales volume in April increased, by 8%, from March, a trend we saw in other nearby communities. Detached home sale increased, while attached home sales remained close to the same. Average time on market decreased for both detached and attached homes to a little over 2 weeks.

 

12% of the transactions were for cash, compared to 21% last month. Buyers negotiated their asking prices on average by 1 - 2%, but 47% of the homes sold at or above asking price! The median sales price of detached homes was $707,000 (up 7%) and $492,400 (up 30%) for attached homes/condos/town homes.

 

There were 11 San Marcos homes for sale at the end of April with a Contingent status (7% of the total), i.e., typically these are homes with offers awaiting approval from short sale and REO lenders, compared to 7 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).

 

San Marco home

 

The San Marcos real estate market inventory increased significantly from March, by 22% to 158. This represents an inventory of 1.6 months for attached homes (up from 1 month last month) and 1.9 months for detached (up from 1.4 months last month) based on the current rate of sales over the last 3 months. Despite the inventory increase the San Marcos real estate market remains a very strong seller’s market.

 

In April 2018 we saw 142 homes come on the market, another big bump in new listings by 34% from last month, more good news for buyers. The number of homes going pending in April also increased substantially from March to 104, up by 25%.

 

This overview of the San Marcos real estate market is based on information provided by the MLS for homes that went under contract in the last month of so and closed in April. I can provide more details regarding current activity, within the specific zip codes of San Marcos (92078 and 92069), or on certain neighborhoods of interest including San Elijo Hills, Twin Oaks, Lake San Marcos, or Santa Fe Hills.

Hi Lise Howe 

There are some beautiful areas, near the lake and in the hills, with wonderful views. And a positive for many buyers are lower prices than near the coast!

Thanks for stopping by Wayne Martin  It's been very competitive there for several years and prices have gone up substantially since the recession. There are good opportunities but you have to move quickly
