In April 2021 there were 124 homes sold in San Marcos’ 2 zip codes (92069 and 92078), 29% more home sales than last month and another substantial increase in sales. Here’s the breakdown of overall activity.
Single Family Homes Sold
89 (up 25%); 9 Average Days on Market; Average Sales Price $1,006,380 (8% higher); Average sale 106% of original asking price
Condos, Townhomes and Duplexes Sold

Overall sales volume in April rose substantially from last month, with a big jump in single family home sales, and a more significant increase for condo, townhome and duplex sales from last month. The average sales price was higher for single family homes, as well as for condos, townhomes, and duplexes. Sales prices ranged from $280,000 to $3,095,000.
The average days on the market (DOM) was the same for single family homes, but slightly shorter for condos, townhomes and duplexes compared to last month. Home buyers should keep in mind they must decide quickly about touring listings that are appealing, and should be prepared to make offers in order to not miss limited opportunities, since 73% of the homes went pending in 1 week or less.
While some buyers were able to negotiate sales prices down from list price, the vast majority of buyers, 93%, paid full price or more for their new homes, no doubt the result of competing offers! The median sales price of single family homes was $875,000 (up 3%), and $595,000 (21% higher) for condos, townhomes and duplexes.
There were 9 San Marcos homes for sale at the end of April with an Active Under Contract status, compared to 3 last month. These homes are included in the overall Active statistics below.
The San Marcos housing inventory increased from last month with 54 homes for sale compared to 38 last month, some good news for buyers; list prices range from $136,500 to $5,250,000. This represents an inventory of 25 days for condos, townhomes and duplexes (the same as last month) and only 14 days for single family homes, up from 13 days in March, based on the rate of sales over the last 3 months.
The San Marcos real estate market continues to be a very strong seller’s market, based on buyer demand and available inventory.
