SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacaso, the leading tech-enabled marketplace for co-ownership of luxury vacation homes, announces that shares of its properties have significantly outperformed the broader luxury residential market in its key regions, according to a recent analysis by RCLCO, a trusted real estate consulting and economics firm. The study reveals that shares of Pacaso homes have achieved a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.7%, outperforming their respective markets by an average of 4.7%.

RCLCO's comprehensive analysis compared the historical resale performance of shares of Pacaso properties with the average price appreciation of the luxury residential market within the same municipalities across Pacaso's highest yielding resale markets. The top 10 markets analyzed, where Pacaso saw the greatest appreciation, include Napa-Sonoma, Malibu, Lake Tahoe, Vail, Charleston, Park City, San Diego, Newport Beach, Palm Springs, and Miami-Fort Lauderdale. RCLCO reviewed transaction data for cities and municipalities with Pacaso homes, specifically looking at properties valued at $1 million or more.

"Our first-of-its-kind co-ownership marketplace has set a new standard, with resale values reaching twice the average market rate," said Austin Allison, CEO and Co-Founder of Pacaso. "This exceptional performance highlights the considerable equity our owners have built with Pacaso, and the robust demand for our homes in prime locations."

RCLCO Principal Karl Pischke added, "Co-ownership is becoming increasingly popular among homebuyers, particularly given the environment of elevated interest rates seen in the past several years, and growing affordability challenges. The performance of Pacaso property shares highlights how the growing co-ownership trend is particularly relevant for luxury vacation home buyers."

Pacaso facilitates a seamless resale process offering owners flexibility and simplicity. Owners can sell their ownership interest at any time, with the option to set their desired price based on a comparative market analysis provided by a dedicated Pacaso resale expert. Pacaso taps into its existing pipeline of buyers and comprehensively markets the home on the Pacaso marketplace and third-party websites. With a growing demand for the unique co-ownership model, many Pacaso homes have an extensive waitlist of eager potential buyers, with more than 91% of Pacaso homes with substantial waitlists. Dedicated resale experts provide regular sales updates, ensure a swift closing process, streamlining the resale journey.

"Three out of four people who resell their Pacaso homes are interested in co-owning another one down the line," Allison noted.

RCLCO analyzed Pacaso's resale performance using data provided by Pacaso, including initial offering prices and subsequent resale prices, to calculate the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for each property. RCLCO compared this with third-party real estate transactional data from Zillow and Redfin to determine the annual market appreciation for luxury residential properties in the same regions.
