Sales activity cools in August while well-priced Pacifica homes continue to attract buyers
Pacifica’s housing market shifted into a somewhat quieter gear during August. 25 homes closed during the month, down from 38 in July, while the median sale price remained relatively stable at $1,260,000. The average closed price was $1,251,712, with total August residential sales volume reaching just over $31.29 million.
The numbers point to a market that is becoming more selective rather than one where buyer demand has disappeared. Homes that sold quickly continued to perform particularly well: 68% of August closings sold within 30 days, and those properties averaged 105.06% of their list price.

Thinking About Buying or Selling in Pacifica?
Pacifica's August numbers reinforce something I see regularly living and working here: there isn't one Pacifica real estate market.
Linda Mar, Vallemar, Park Pacifica, Sharp Park, Fairmont, Sun Valley and the other neighborhoods along the coast each have their own housing stock, price points and buyer demand. Even within the same neighborhood, views, condition, lot placement and renovations can substantially change a home's value.
If you're considering selling, I can provide a more specific analysis based on your home and recent nearby sales. And if you're buying, we can narrow the numbers down to the neighborhoods and types of homes that fit what you're looking for.
