40190 Sierra De Ronda in Murrieta is marked in the listing as a trust sale, which means the seller is a trust. A trust sale can involve the trustee signing off on terms, so the timeline can differ from a typical purchase. A buyer should ask the listing agent how the process works for this sale.
The MLS shows one earlier closed sale of 40190 Sierra De Ronda: November 7, 2022, $1,800,000, below its asking price, after 113 days on the market.
It came to market on August 27, 2026 at $1,999,000.
A VA loan is noted as the seller’s current financing. A buyer who wants to know whether that loan could be taken over should ask the listing agent whether the seller’s loan can be assumed.
Listed details: 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, 3,570 square feet of living space, a lot of 5.1 acres, built in 2002, a private pool, a clay roof, a septic system, and a homeowners association fee of $88 a month. They come straight from the listing, and a buyer should confirm each one.
The current price comes to about $560 a square foot of living space. With 5.1 acres in the price, lot size drives that figure more than the house does, and a comparison with the city-wide median would mislead. Closed sales of homes on an acre or more in Murrieta over the last 12 months had a median of $432 a square foot across 76 sales. Condition, the pool and how much of the land is usable all move the number, so treat it as a starting point.
What to check
These are general points, not statements about this home’s condition. An inspector and the seller’s disclosures answer them for this property.
- Septic system. A septic system is a buried tank and drain field in place of a city sewer line. A septic inspection, which usually includes pumping and checking the tank, is separate from a standard home inspection, so a buyer asks for it by name.
- Pool. A pool adds a pump, a filter, often a heater, and a safety barrier. A pool inspection checks the equipment, looks for leaks and reviews the surface, and it is separate from the home inspection.
- Homeowners association. Ask for the association budget, the reserve study and the rules before the inspection period ends. Fees, special assessments and rules on things like parking or rentals change the real cost of owning the home.
Questions to ask the listing agent
These questions follow from the facts in the listing. The listing agent is the person to ask.
- Who is the trustee, and who has to approve an offer?
- Can the seller’s loan be assumed, and at what rate?
- When was the septic tank last pumped, and are there records of past inspections?
- Where are the lot lines, and are there easements, fences or shared roads on the land?
- How old are the pool equipment and the surface, and has the pool been serviced regularly?
- Are there special assessments planned, and what does the association fee cover?
- Which items, such as appliances and fixtures, come with the sale?
