The week in San Marcos
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in San Marcos, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The San Marcos file →The largest reduction on the desk was 1092 Serena Way — down $100,000, from $1,600,000 to $1,500,000, listed by Coldwell Banker Realty.
25 listings changed status: 11 pending, 11 sold, 1 active under contract, 1 back on market. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
20 homes came to market, asking from $195,000 to $1,750,000.
That is the week, address by address. What any one of these rows means for a house on the same street is the question the file answers next.
