And when you invest in San Marcos real estate, you're making a smart choice. Because of the availability of land right now, you can expect to pay 20 to 30 percent less than you would for a home in other nearby parts of the county; current average home prices hover around $500,000. That means a better home for less money. It also means that developers are taking advantage of the math, and building better and better real estate maybe exactly what you're looking for. Here's a home in that category right below. -
