San Marcos real estate Market Report.

Information and statistics on the latest trends in the San Marcos real estate market, updated for April 2026. *

San Marcos currently leans toward sellers, with a market gauge of 15 and only 2.2 months of supply keeping conditions tight. With just 105 homes on the market compared to 4,442 in all of San Diego County, buyers face limited choices even as the area’s typical home value of $885,000 sits slightly below the county’s $899,000.

Prices have been moving in different directions depending on the measure, which helps explain the mixed feel of the market. Typical home values are down 2.21% year over year but up 6.88% from the prior month, while the median list price jumped 14.12% month over month to $969,995, and nearly 29.5% of sellers have reduced their asking price.

Momentum on the activity side is picking up, with pending sales up 21.05% year over year and 69 homes currently under contract after a median of 41 days on the market, down 8.89% from last month but still 78.26% higher than a year ago. Looking ahead to March 2026, projections show the typical home value edging up to about $913,500, the median list price approaching $1,029,993, and inventory hovering near 108 listings, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from having Agent Pronto connect them with a skilled local agent to navigate these shifting conditions.

“Due to circumstances beyond anybody's control, Judy did an excellent job in getting the condo sold. I had HOA insurance problems and title problems when trying to sell my mom's condo. Judy was excellent during a rather long time period getting these problems fixed. She was able to find us a cash buyer and worked exceptionally with us during this process. Mind you, we live in Kentucky so much of what on was via email. We did all the paperwork over the internet, and she was outstanding in her help to us. On a scale of 1 to ten, she was way above that. My wife and I would highly recommend her to anyone. Side note. We had a title business in Kentucky, so we are very familiar with the whole process. She is excellent! Don and Paula Block.”

“Corey has helped my wife and I with three transactions now, and every time he shows up for us. Being from Hawaii, trust and relationships matter a lot to us and Corey treats us like ohana. He understands the San Diego market, gives honest advice, and always looks out for our long-term goals, not just the deal. He communicates clearly, negotiates hard when needed, and makes the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. We’re grateful to have someone we trust on our side and would recommend him to anyone buying or selling in San Diego. Mahalo, Jason and Ashley....”

“Despite the property being in excellent condition and located in a desirable area, we encountered a few challenges and had to get creative in order to attract the right buyer. Although the process took longer than anticipated, Deanna remained committed throughout—addressing my concerns, keeping me grounded, and maintaining a steady, professional approach. Her experience and knowledge of the home selling process proved invaluable during both the listing and escrow phases. Deanna stayed on top of every detail, which allowed me to trust the process and focus on my role with confidence. I would highly recommend Deanna to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.”

“Working with Patty Reyes was truly one of the best decisions we made during our home buying journey. Patty helped us purchase our home in May 2025, and from start to finish she was nothing short of exceptional. Patty is knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly dedicated. She took the time to truly understand what we were looking for, guided us through every step of the process with clarity and patience, and always made us feel confident in our decisions. Her attention to detail, strong negotiation skills, and deep understanding of the market made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. What truly sets Patty apart is how much she genuinely cares about her clients. She was always available to answer questions, explain options, and advocate for us every step of the way. We never felt rushed or pressured, only supported. Thanks to Patty, we are now in a home we absolutely love. We are beyond grateful for her expertise, professionalism, and kindness.”

I asked many questions and always received professional, considered, thoughtful, helpful, and sound advice promptly. We moved out of state before the house was ready to be put on the market. Chad arranged for clean up and improvements to help get the best price for the house without overspending. He gets our all and unequivocal endorsement.”

“Honestly the best realtor we could've ever asked for. The process of looking for something that fits is already stressful enough but to have someone guide you step by step made it all worth it. Anne is incredible! She was on top of communicating with me and my partner, answering our emails and even phone calls whenever we needed help or even reassurance. Anne helped guide us through this terrifying yet exciting process and I would recommend her to anyone looking for the home of their dreams!”

“Edgar was AMAZING! I'm glad my good friend referred me to him. When I went through my first offer rejection, I told him that I wanted tour more houses and I didn't expect that he would make time so quickly and the very next day, we were off on the hunt again! He is very personable and a sweet person. He is empathetic and understood my needs and gave great advice and observations. He was extremely professional, supportive, and responsive throughout the whole process. He never left me in the dark and kept me in the loop all the time. I highly recommend his services:)”
