I was pleased to see a beautiful photo of the Pacifica coastline on the front page of the SF Chronicle’s Real Estate Section. Dana Perrigan’s cover story about Pacifica, CA highlights its small-town feel, unique character and proximity to San Francisco.

With Daly City to the north, Millbrae and San Bruno to the east, and Montara to the south, its 38,000 residents (as of U.S. Census 2000) enjoy easy access along with a healthy dose of recreation. Yes, it’s a cooler climate than more inland areas of the peninsula, but as the article states, sunnier than non-residents might think. As locals already know, micro-climates are distinct throughout the various neighorhoods along the entire coastside.

An additional point worth mentioning is Pacifica’s schools. Pacifica offers good school choices, including a home school support system within the District.

The trends in listing price is broken down by quartile in the above graph to show market segment movement. The second, third and fourth quartiles are trending similarly – slightly downward with leveling showing within the last month, and the first quartile trending slightly upward.

Pacifica’s inventory overall has come down a bit from the peak of the fourth quarter 2007 following the dramatic lending market meltdown; however inventory is still elevated over a year ago meaning sellers will have an easier time of it if they approach the market very competitively. This is the overall tone. Each neighborhood has its own unique plusses or minuses and you’ll want to take those into consideration with your Realtor.
