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

Inventory and contract activity in Lake San Marcos have tightened in this rolling three‑month view, even as buyer interest persists. Active listings are down more than 20% from a year ago and new listings have fallen by over 40%, while homes sold have actually risen by about 11% year over year, pointing to solid demand against limited supply.

Pricing is showing some downward adjustment in response to this mix of strong demand and low inventory. The typical home value is slightly lower than a year ago and the median list price is down by double digits year over year, suggesting sellers are pricing more carefully to meet buyers in the middle.

Time on market and negotiation patterns provide more nuance for both sides. Homes are taking longer to sell than they did a year ago, with the median days on market now just over a month, yet the sale‑to‑list ratio is still near 99% and roughly one in five homes sell above list price, reflecting a clear seller’s market with only about 1.3 months of supply available. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to find an agent who understands the Lake San Marcos numbers and trends in detail.

“After the passing of my wife, I made the difficult decision to sell my home and move on from a place that held many memories. My son introduced me to Amy Mosley and her assistant, Brittany, and from the very beginning, they made me feel comfortable and supported. Amy is professional, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. Since I know very little about real estate, she took the time to explain the process and kept me informed every step of the way. Her experience and guidance gave me confidence during what could have been a very overwhelming time. Amy and Brittany make an excellent team, and my experience working with them has been outstanding. I truly appreciate their kindness, professionalism, and dedication. I would highly recommend Amy Mosley and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

If you're looking for a realtor who is professional, trustworthy, hardworking, and truly has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend reaching out to Nicole. You'll be glad you did. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions. Finding Nicole was one of the best things that could have happened. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to take the time to explain things in detail. Even when I thought I had done all the research possible, she always had helpful insights and advice that made a big difference. What stood out most was her dedication. No matter when I reached out, she was quick to answer my questions and made me feel supported. It never felt like I was just another client; she truly cared about helping me find the right home. Let her help you find your dream home too. I am even going to work on some future investment endeavors with her.”
