She also found videos showing people partying inside the home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI hopped on Instagram and there they are,\u201d Munoz said. \u201cThere\u2019s videos of people partying inside the living room of my listing. A packed house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The party footage cannot be shared without permission from the original source, but Munoz shared video and photos of the aftermath. A neighbor also provided Ring camera video showing groups of teens walking to and from the home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThere was fireworks, a huge hole in the wall, somebody got into a physical fight. We heard there was weapons and drugs,\u201d Munoz said. \u201cThere was so much going on. We\u2019re just so grateful that it wasn\u2019t worse and nobody actually got hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Munoz said the damage from the party cost the sellers about $10,000 in repairs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWe had to get the work done. We couldn\u2019t wait on insurance or any of that because we have a new homeowner who\u2019s going to be closing on the home soon,\u201d Munoz said. \u201cThey need to move in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">San Diego police said the overwhelming number of people at the house made it difficult to shut the party down immediately. Officers remained on patrol in the area, made contact with attendees, and took reports as people left the scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Munoz said she is already aware of another party advertised on social media by the same group, scheduled for Friday, Jan. 23.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI have another listing in Skyline, so when I saw that their flyer says there\u2019s another one in Skyline, I\u2019m like, \u2018No,\u2019\u201d Munoz said. \u201cWe have to be on high alert and make sure that we are keeping an eye on the property.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She is urging other realtors and sellers to take similar precautions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI\u2019m advising all my clients that have properties that are vacant to set up cameras, do whatever you can, take the security measures to make sure that this does not happen to your property,\u201d Munoz said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">San Diego police said the case remains under investigation. Anyone identified and prosecuted could face charges ranging from trespassing to breaking and entering and vandalism. Authorities are urging the community to remain vigilant not only in Skyline, but in any area with vacant properties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
