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

San Marcos currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market even as conditions cool from prior years. Inventory has grown to 2.8 months of supply in the latest rolling three‑month period, up sharply—more than 80 percent—compared with a year ago, giving buyers more options than they had recently.

Prices, however, still show resilience. The typical home value over the last three months is about 6 percent higher than a year earlier, and homes are selling at roughly 99 percent of list price, signaling that sellers generally retain strong pricing power.

Activity patterns highlight the shifting balance between demand and supply. Homes sold are down nearly 12 percent year over year and pending sales are off about 14 percent, while new listings have risen more than 12 percent over the same period, contributing to the higher inventory and slightly longer 33‑day median time on market. In this environment of firm prices but moderating demand, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an agent who understands San Marcos’ evolving dynamics.

“I knew going into the process that Deanna Lynn Vela had a lot of experience, but her knowledge and expertise absolutely blew me away! Beyond that, she was incredibly communicative, responsive, and attentive every step of the way. Throughout my entire home search and buying process, I never once felt like I was navigating things alone or that she wasn't there for me. She was always available, patient, and willing to answer every question. There was even a moment when I felt hesitant and a little scared, and she met me with so much understanding, reassurance, and compassion. She truly went above and beyond, and I couldn't have asked for a better person to guide me through such a big milestone. I would recommend her without hesitation!”

“Six years ago, we met Kelly Lambo while trying to purchase a home that ultimately ended up outside of our budget. While that chapter didn't work out, little did we know we had found the realtor who would eventually help us purchase our dream home in North Clairemont. Over those six years, Kelly never disappeared. She periodically checked in, asked how our family was doing, and stayed connected without ever making us feel like a transaction. Every time a house caught our eye, no matter how random the timing, Kelly would somehow find a way to make herself available for a showing. Looking back, I imagine our constant back-and-forth, endless questions, pickiness, and occasional indecisiveness might have frustrated many agents. Kelly never let us feel that way. What stood out most was that she never rushed us into a decision. In fact, many times she played devil's advocate, challenging us to think through whether a home was truly the right fit for our family. It was never about making a sale. It was about building a relationship, learning what mattered most to us, and helping us make the best decision possible. With every house we viewed, she took mental notes and refined the search. Then, after six years, the house appeared. We toured it on a Saturday, submitted an offer on Monday, and the rest is history. What we learned is that while Kelly is patient and thoughtful during the search process, once she gets the green light, it's GO time. She assembled an incredible team around us, from home inspectors and loan officers to trusted external resources who could answer every question we had. She knew when to push, when to wait, and when to give a little ground to keep things moving in the right direction. Leaving our first home, the only home our children had ever known, was more emotional than we expected. During that process, Kelly became more than our realtor. She was part strategist, part counselor, and part psychologist, helping us work through the emotions while ensuring we were making a decision we truly felt confident about. Kelly is a master of her craft, but what truly sets her apart isn't just her knowledge of real estate. It's the relationships she builds with her clients, her team, and even the agents on the other side of the transaction. Those relationships create trust, solve problems, and ultimately make the impossible feel achievable. Kelly, thank you for your patience, guidance, honesty, and unwavering support over the last six years. We couldn't imagine a better partner to help our family take this next step. If you're looking for a realtor who genuinely puts people before transactions, we can't recommend Kelly highly enough.”

“Rachael Hughel is one of the best and most professional real estate agents I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She understands how to navigate the market, as turbulent as the one we are in now, like it is a child's playground. Sharp and vigilant, she sold my house for the price we ask for, all in such a difficult market. She was always on call and always updating about the situation of the houses and the market. It was a pleasure to work with her because she got to know us and was sensitive to the monumental amount of requirements. She pulled out all the stops and found best services and people to take care of everything and anything needed to be done with the house, you name it: contractors, roofers, electricians, etc. and everyone she recommended was just as professional and diligent as she is. On top of all the professional praise that Rachael rightfully deserves: her promptness, reaction time, diligence, and negotiation skills (which are a force to be reckoned with), her character is what I think makes her such a successful and great agent to work with. She is a really fun and personable individual who is honest and genuinely seems to care deeply about her clients and their potential futures. We cannot thank you enough Rachael. You are the best! Andrzej and Alex”

“Jose was very helpful and understanding of my needs when looking for a house, I am new to the area and he was able to give me plenty of insight on areas to look for. It felt like he did all of the work, so I didn’t have to. I would def recommend Jose as a realtor even if you’re not looking to buy immediately, he’s pretty easy going and stays at your pace when buying/selling a houses!”

“We just completed our third transaction with Anthony, including two home sales and one purchase. The recent sale was priced correctly, cleverly marketed, and resulted in two offers on listing weekend. The accepted offer was $10K above asking price in a slow market. We would highly recommend Anthony for real estate sales and purchase representation.”

“Speak about a master coordinator. No only did Alex put my home in escrow less than a week from listing it, he also put us in escrow on the home we were moving into as our replacement property in concurrence to our sale. Alex showed us how extremely knowledgeable he was in selling our home in San Diego County and helping us close on time with our new home in Temecula Riverside County. Alex understood both the SD and Riverside real estate markets. Alex is a very upbeat person and REALTOR. Alex Obeso was upfront with us & told us a few times "My Job Is To Work For You & Nobody Else" His comments were evident; he takes a “clients come first” approach in every interaction we encountered from the start. As of today, Alex has helped us even after closing escrow. Recently we had a major water leak, we called Alex. Alex got us our insurance info, contacted a water remediation company and coordinated all the work. Today we have a new kitchen. Alex is a true professional in every sense of the word, and a perfect example of what customer service should be. If you need a dedicated, top-notch REALTOR, Alex is the only REALTOR”

“David is very personable, professional and receptive to our needs and concerns. He was a pleasure to work with, and very knowledgeable. He understands the intricacies of required forms and negotiating tactics. I felt our house sale was in good hands. He did not make us jump through hoops to sell our home. We were able to list it quickly with minimal work. He appreciated our house for what it was, and when it came time to show it, it showed beautifully. We were able to sell and get an offer fast.”

“Alexxis was absolutely amazing throughout our home-buying journey! He was professional, patient, knowledgeable, and always there to answer our questions and guide us through every step of the process. Buying a home can be stressful, but Alexxis made everything feel so much easier and gave us confidence along the way. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we found the right home and that everything went smoothly. We are so grateful for all of his hard work, dedication, and support. If you’re looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about his clients and is there for you every step of the way, my husband and I highly recommend Alexxis! Thank you, Alexxis, for helping us with such an important milestone in our lives and for helping us find our new home!”

“Anand was very knowledgeable about the area we were interested in buying a single family house. Since we were moving from Northern California, his recommendations, based on our priorities, were spot on. Anand worked closely with our realtor in NorCal to accomplish a simultaneous closing; we truly appreciated his attention to detail in making our buying as seamless as possible.”

“This is our second time working with JC Agajanian and it reinforced the wisdom of our decision to call him again. JC applied his expertise across all aspects of the selling experience in a thorough and supportive way. He and his team use all of the latest tools available to market your property and have a network of contacts to meet all of your property needs whether it be paint touch-ups to staging to plumbing, etc. which really sets them apart from other agents. We highly recommend JC Agajanian to get your property assessed, prepped and sold!”

“Sophia is awesome!! As a first time home buyer, she made the whole process a breeze and was there every step of the way.

“Glen helped us sell a family home in Point Loma after it had been in the family for many years. This wasn't just a normal real estate transaction for us and there were a lot of emotions and decisions involved. The house also needed some updating before we could sell it. Glen was really helpful in determining what made sense to fix and what we should just leave alone. He brought in people to help with the cleanout, repairs and preparation of the property and helped keep everything organized. Because there were multiple family members involved, communication was especially important. Glen kept everyone informed and explained things in a way that was easy to understand without overwhelming us with unnecessary details. When we received offers he walked us through the price, financing and contingencies so we could make the decision together. The entire process was handled very professionally and with a lot of patience. If you are selling an inherited home or dealing with a trust property, having someone who understands that type of situation makes a huge difference.”

“We really won the jackpot when we selected Molly to list our home in Palacio Del Mar. Her presentation was thorough, professional and on point. She had a strategy for our property and worked diligently to bring the plan to fruition. She took on much of the burden of the transaction and tried to ease the stress and strain on us. When a problem arose, she would always have a solution ready to go. She possesses polish and warmth. If you’re looking for a real estate agent in San Diego who operates at the absolute highest level of professionalism, strategy, and care, Molly is simply in a league of her own. From start to finish, she made the entire process seamless. Molly combines deep market knowledge with sharp instincts and thoughtful communication throughout the process. What stood out most was her ability to stay calm and strategic during negotiations while managing all the moving pieces behind the scenes. Molly is the kind of agent you want in your corner — professional, trustworthy, highly responsive, and deeply committed to her clients. Couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

“If you’re buying a home and not using an exclusive Buyer’s Agent, you’re doing it all wrong. And if you’re in San Diego, and that Buyer’s Agent isn’t Justin Gramm at Globella Buyers Realty, you’re missing out on some opportunities. Justin doesn’t have listings to sell you; rather, he’s going to work with you to find your perfect home. He has technology tools to help focus on what’s most important to you - in my case, it was location, a newer build, an office on the main floor and a private garage. We looked at 5 homes in Civita and Escala the first day; all would have been suitable, but #4 on the list was perfect for me. When it came to preparing an offer Justin had insight and advice that saved me tens of thousands of dollars, and our offer was so clean and simple it was immediately accepted by the Sellers. Justin kept the transaction on track through all our inspections and document signing and was highly responsive to all my questions and issues. Even if you don’t use Justin, you should spend some time on his website as he has a lot of good information, resources and insight for anyone buying a home.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Kyndal. From the very beginning, she was incredibly knowledgeable, hardworking, personable, and strategic throughout the entire process of selling our home. Kyndal didn’t just put our house on the market and hope for the best. She took the time to understand our goals, helped us position the property correctly, and had a clear strategy for getting it in front of the right buyers. Her knowledge of the neighborhood and local market, combined with her extensive connections, made a huge difference. What impressed us most was her communication and follow through. She was always responsive, kept us informed, and was consistently proactive in handling everything that came up. We always felt like she was genuinely working for us and protecting our best interests. The results speak for themselves, Kyndal sold our house within just over two weeks of being on the market, and she got us the price we wanted. That is an incredible outcome, especially with a transaction of this size and complexity. Beyond her professionalism and expertise, Kyndal is simply a great person to work with. She is warm, personable, easy to talk to, and made what could have been a stressful process feel much easier. We honestly feel like we didn’t just find a great real estate agent, we made a friend in the process. If you’re looking for an agent who knows the market, has strong connections, communicates exceptionally well, and is willing to put in the work to get the job done, we would absolutely recommend Kyndal. She earned our trust from day one and delivered exactly what we needed. We would work with her again without hesitation.”

“Kara did an incredible job selling our Leucadia property. What we appreciated most was that she didn’t just put the house on the market and wait for an offer. She was involved in every detail, from the preparation, marketing and presentation of the property to negotiating with buyers and navigating some unexpected challenges during escrow. She gave us honest advice, communicated constantly, and always made decisions based on what was best for us as sellers. There were definitely moments when the transaction could have become very stressful, but Kara handled everything with confidence and professionalism. We always felt like she had our best interests in mind. This is the second time I have hired Kara as my Realtor and I will continue to do so in the future.”

“I first worked with Rich in 2018 when I bought my home, and I came back to him when it was time to sell. That says a lot. He already knew the house and the neighborhood, and he handled the sale with the same care and professionalism he showed the first time around. Selling took longer than I expected, but Rich stayed on it, kept me updated, and found the right buyer. We got to the finish line, and I never felt like I was managing the process alone. He’s straightforward, responsive, and genuinely invested in the outcome—not just the transaction. After years of working together, I’m glad I trusted him with both the purchase and the sale. I’d recommend him without hesitation.”
