What This Means
San Marcos continues to show a cooling market despite a modest uptick in June sales volume. The median price dropped 6.3% month-over-month to $850,000, extending a concerning downward trend that's now 13.3% lower year-over-year. While the slight increase in sales activity is encouraging, it's worth noting this may reflect improved data collection rather than genuine market momentum. The more telling indicator is that homes are spending slightly longer on the market at 70 days, suggesting buyers have the upper hand and aren't rushed to make offers.
What's particularly notable is the disconnect between the sale-to-list price ratio showing 108% and the median prices declining. This suggests homes are selling closer to asking prices, but sellers are simply listing lower to begin with—a defensive strategy in a weakening market. With 405 active listings sitting at a median ask of $790,936, inventory remains healthy, giving buyers negotiating power they haven't had in years.
The single-family heavy inventory (45 of 82 sales) indicates the detached home segment is driving market activity, though at lower price points. For buyers, this is a window of opportunity; for sellers, it's a reminder that pricing aggressively and being flexible on terms will matter more than ever.
