Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).

Lake San Marcos is seeing tighter inventory in this rolling three-month view, with active listings down compared with a year ago and new listings falling nearly a third year over year. Even with fewer homes coming to market, about 40 homes sold in the latest period and pending sales actually rose slightly from last year, signaling that buyers are still writing offers.

Pricing has eased from last year, with the typical home value down about 12 percent year over year even as the median list price is roughly flat. Sellers are still achieving strong results overall, as the average sale-to-list ratio hovers just under 99 percent and nearly a quarter of recent sales closed above list price, a modest increase from a year ago.

Homes are taking longer to sell than they did last year, with the median days on market increasing to just over a month in this rolling three-month snapshot. Even so, months of supply sits well below balanced levels at around 1.7 months, supporting the current seller’s market reading. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate low inventory and shifting prices or a seller aiming to price correctly and capture strong demand, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands these trends.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience working with Amy Mosley. Selling a home can be an emotional and stressful process, but she made everything feel much easier with her professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. What stood out most was how she managed the necessary preparations to get the place in the best salable condition. Being out of state I was so impressed with her commitment to direct the necessary upgrades, which ended up to be a huge job. She listened to my needs, kept me informed, and made sure I felt comfortable with each decision along the way. Her expertise and dedication went far beyond simply selling a property, she strives to maximize the property market potential, and that proved to be true. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for an highly experienced and professional real estate agent who genuinely cares about her clients and delivers exceptional results.”

“I had an amazing experience working with Rienee Duran from day one. She was incredibly patient as I searched for the right home and always took the time to answer all of my questions. She explained every step of the process so clearly, was very communicative, and made sure I understood everything along the way. As a single mom, buying a home can feel overwhelming and even a little scary, but Rienee made the process so much easier. I truly believe God placed her in my path at the right time. She also connected me with an amazing loan officer, Sindee, who took the time to walk me through all the financial details and really helped me understand the numbers. She truly went above and beyond, and not only will I miss working with her, but my kids will miss her too. I would absolutely work with Rienee again for any future real estate needs and feel so grateful for her guidance through this journey.”
