Hi Jeff... that was interesting to see that inventory declined... haven't seen that in our area in a long time. And with an increase in new listings, it's clear demand is strong.

Demand IS strong in San Marcos Nina Hollander, Broker and thus it's competitive especially in the lower price range and for single family homes. Buyers need to be prepared to make quick decisions and strong offers. Some homes are, however, sitting on the market longer than in the past.

That's true in general Brian England but some homes are sitting on the market for longer periods.
