2026's housing market in Pacifica is in a unique position with limited inventory.
With median housing prices at $1.35M and average days on market of less than 45 days, it is still a seller's market if your home presents well.
-
Buyers can gain an advantage in this competitive market by being pre-qualified by a lender before viewing homes, so that they can place offers quickly and know the range of home prices that they should be shopping based on their approval letter.
-
Working with a knowledgeable REALTOR® that knows the local market extremely well, and has working relationships with inspectors, insurance agents, contractors, service companies, as well as other local agents, gives you the best advantage of knowing the true condition and costs of ownership before, during, and after your offer has been accepted.
-
Have your Compass agent set you up to search for Private Exclusive or "make me move" listings to show you listings that are not on Zillow, Redfin, or local MLS searches and are only available to Compass agents.
-
Make offers the week the listing starts to reduce the amount of showings and get your offer viewed first to have a better chance that your offer presents the strongest.
-
Have your REALTOR® run comps of similar homes sold in the last 3-6 months in the same area and see the PPSF range as well as condition, home, and lot sizes to get a very good idea of what range your offer should be in to be accepted.
