That is the middle of the city’s sales, not the price of any one house. Here is the whole snapshot and how to use it.
What did San Pablo homes sell for in August 2026?
Here is Redfin’s August 2026 data for San Pablo, all home types (Redfin, San Pablo housing market page, checked September 24, 2026):
- Median sale price: $543,640, up 4.5% year over year.

Why is the median only part of the story?
Because 31 sales is a small sample. In a month that small, a handful of larger houses or a couple of condos can move the median up or down by tens of thousands of dollars without any single home changing in value. Price per square foot, $421 in August 2026, is a steadier yardstick when you compare two homes of different sizes.
Single-family, condo and townhouse medians are not in the data set we use for this page, so we are not quoting them. For a real number on one home, look at sales of similar homes within a few blocks over the last 90 days.
How does San Pablo compare with nearby areas?
It is the lowest of the five West County places in our August 2026 data. Redfin’s median sale prices: San Pablo $543,640, Richmond $614,593, El Sobrante (unincorporated) $714,527, Pinole $719,524 and El Cerrito $1,242,678 (each place’s Redfin housing market page, August 2026, checked September 24, 2026).
Different places have different mixes of homes, so this is a rough guide. A three-bedroom house in San Pablo and one in El Cerrito are not the same purchase.
Do San Pablo homes sell over asking?
Most did in August 2026. Redfin shows 63.4% sold above list, and the median sale closed at 104.3% of list (checked September 24, 2026). So if a well-priced house draws a crowd, expect to pay more than the sticker.
At the same time, 27.0% of homes had a price cut. Those two numbers together tell you the market splits: homes priced right go over, homes priced high sit and drop.
What does this mean if I’m buying?
Know your ceiling before you tour. With nearly two out of three homes selling over list, the asking price is often a starting point, not the final number. Get your loan approval in hand, decide your top number ahead of time, and pull recent sales on the same street. If a house has sat past the 27-day median, ask why. It may be priced high, or it may have an issue the photos do not show.
What does this mean if I’m selling?
Price from the closest sales, not from hope. Redfin shows 27.0% of San Pablo homes had a price drop in August 2026. It does not say why, but a cut usually means the first price missed what buyers would pay. A home priced right from day one has the best shot at multiple offers.
