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

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).
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%.
