Listed details: 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, 2,319 square feet of living space, a lot of 0.11 acres, built in 1991, a private pool, public sewer, and a homeowners association fee of $320 a month. They come straight from the listing, and a buyer should confirm each one.
For schools, the listing places it in the San Marcos Unified school district.
At the current price the home works out to about $485 a square foot, below the $491 median for closed sales in San Marcos in September 2026. Lot size, the pool, condition and location all move that number, so it is a starting point for comparison, not a verdict.
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.
- 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 before you make an offer
Bring these to Zarko before you make an offer. They come from what the listing shows, not from anything known about the seller.
- 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?
- Is there permit history for work done since the earlier sales?
- Which items, such as appliances and fixtures, come with the sale?
