San Marcos Market Report

The San Marcos housing market is shaped by three forces: steady population growth in Hays County, consistent rental demand from Texas State University, and the city’s location squarely between Austin and San Antonio. Together they keep long‑term demand strong across a wide range of price points.

What buyers and sellers should watch

• Inventory & new construction: active new‑construction phases add supply and can influence resale pricing and builder incentives.
• Price range: San Marcos spans student‑friendly condos to new master‑planned and 55+ homes, so “the market” really depends on the segment.
• Days on market & rates: mortgage rates and seasonality (including the university calendar) affect how quickly homes sell.
