Values in this non-gated 55+ community have very nearly doubled in ten years — from an average sold price around $367K in 2016 to roughly $718K so far in 2026. Inventory is thin, updated homes still draw multiple-week contracts (some over asking), and pricing discipline is deciding how fast everything else sells. Here’s the read from the latest CRMLS data.
Pacifica is a small community — only about 223 homes — so listing activity moves in fits and starts. Homes go under contract, escrows close, and new listings appear from one week to the next. The numbers on this page reflect the MLS as of July 9, 2026.

Ten years of price growth — the headline story
If there’s one thing the data makes unmistakable, it’s the long-term climb. Across 146 recorded closings from 2016 through mid-2026, the average sold price in Pacifica has risen from roughly $367,000 to about $718,000 — a gain of nearly 96%. The average price per square foot has followed the same path, from around $263 in 2016 to the low-$500s today. The steepest jump came in 2021, when the pandemic-era surge lifted the community’s average sold price more than 26% in a single year and drove days on market down to just 5.

Here’s the same story in numbers. Note how days on market bottomed out during the 2021–2023 frenzy and have since normalized toward the 40-day range — an average that’s now pulled up by a handful of overpriced or dated listings, while sharp, updated homes still sell in days (more on that below).
| Year | Homes sold | Avg sold price | Avg DOM | Avg $/sqft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | 14 | $366,978 | 50 | $263 |

| Closed | Address | Type | DOM | List | Sold | vs List |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6/26 | 3501 N Sundown | Detached 2/2 | 41 | $739,000 | $745,000 | +$6K |
| 6/24 | 4225 Dawn Lane | Detached 2/2 | 17 | $710,000 | $703,000 | −$7K* |
| 5/21 | 4245 Dawn | Detached 3/2 | 8 | $775,000 | $785,000 | +$10K |
| 4/30 | 3516 N Sundown Ln | Detached 2/2 | 0 | $650,000 | $650,000 | even |
| 4/6 | 3579 Twilight Ln | Twin 2/2 | 147 | $745,000 | $727,500 | −$17.5K* |
| 2/2 | 4225 Dusk Ln | Detached 3/2 | 60 | $699,000 | $700,000 | +$1K |
*”vs List” compares to the most recent list price. 4225 Dawn and 3579 Twilight both closed under their final ask (concessions and, for Twilight, repeated price cuts from an original $760,000). “Type” reflects detached single homes vs attached twin homes.
The pattern here is worth reading closely: the two homes that sold in 0–8 days closed at or over list (4245 Dawn went $10K over in 8 days). The two that sat longest — 3579 Twilight at 147 days and 4225 Dusk at 60 — both launched high and had to cut. Price discipline, not the market, is what stretched those timelines.
Condition and pricing are splitting the outcomes
Average days on market by group, last 18 months (Jan 2025 – Jul 2026). Turnkey, well-priced homes contract fast; overpriced or dated listings take roughly ten times as long.
Read it this way: a well-presented, correctly-priced Pacifica home has been going under contract in about a week — often at or above list. The homes that dragged past a month almost all share the same story: a high launch price on a home that either needed work or wasn’t dialed in for the market, followed by cuts. The community’s headline “average DOM” of 40+ days is really two very different markets averaged together.
Want fully remodeled, turnkey homes and will pay a premium for finished condition — recent updated sales cleared $590–$632 per square foot.
Hunting for dated homes at a discount to update themselves — or to remodel and resell, as happened on Twilight Lane below.
There are very few “in-between” buyers right now — which is exactly why condition and price are separating outcomes so sharply.
Exhibit A: the Twilight Lane remodel
One home tells the whole story. 3579 Twilight Lane sold as a dated fixer for $570,000 in August 2025 — then, after a full remodel, resold at $727,500 in April 2026. That’s roughly a $157,500 gross difference on the same footprint in eight months, a vivid measure of what finished condition is worth in Pacifica today. But it also carries the cautionary half of the lesson: the remodel first launched at $760,000, drew no offers, and took 147 days and multiple price cuts to sell. Condition commands a real premium here — and even a beautiful home pays the time-on-market penalty if it launches above the market.
| Address | Sold as fixer | Relisted (remodeled) | Final sold | Days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3579 Twilight Lane | $570,000 (Aug 2025) | $760,000 → cut to $745,000 | $727,500 (Apr 2026) | 147 |

Key takeaways
For sellers
- You’ve likely built serious equity. Average sold prices have risen roughly 96% since 2016 and about 26% since 2021. If you bought before the pandemic surge, today’s market may surprise you.
- Price to the market, not above it. Sharp, correctly-priced homes are contracting in about a week — several at or over list. The listings that sat 60–147 days all launched high and then cut.
- Condition pays — visibly. Updated homes are clearing $590–$632 per square foot, and one remodel commanded roughly $157K more than the same home sold as a fixer months earlier.
For buyers
- Move quickly on sharp listings. With only a handful of homes trading each year and the best-priced ones gone in days, a full-price or over-ask offer is often what it takes on fresh inventory.
- There’s leverage on aged listings. Homes past a month — especially those that have already cut — are where negotiating room lives.
- Turnkey vs. project. Remodeled homes price in the high-$500s to low-$600s per square foot; dated homes trade well below that and reward a buyer willing to update. Entry-level 2/2s have recently started around $650K.
