The median Pinole home sold for $719,524 in August 2026, up 7.4% from a year earlier. Single-family homes ran a bit higher, a median of $762,053 (Redfin, Pinole housing market page, August 2026, checked September 24, 2026).

That’s the city-wide answer. One house sells for what buyers pay for that street, that size and that condition. Here’s the full picture and how to read it.

What did Pinole homes sell for in August 2026?

Here is Redfin’s August 2026 snapshot for Pinole, all home types (Redfin, Pinole housing market page, checked September 24, 2026):

• Median sale price: $719,524, up 7.4% from August 2025. Over the three months ending August 2026, Redfin puts the median at about $720K.
• Homes sold: 40 in August 2026, up from 37 a year earlier.
• Median days on market: 23, down from 31 a year earlier.
• Sale-to-list price: 101.6%. The typical home closed a little over asking.
• Sold above list price: 61.6% of homes, up 15.7 points from a year earlier.
• Homes with a price drop: 20.1%, down 11.0 points.
• Median price per square foot: $447, down 0.11% from a year earlier.

What about single-family homes?

They moved faster and sold higher. For single-family homes in August 2026, Redfin shows (Redfin, Pinole housing market page, checked September 24, 2026):

• Median sale price: $762,053, up 8.1% from a year earlier.
• Homes sold: 31.
• Median days on market: 16.
• Sale-to-list price: 102.8%, with 70.1% selling above list.

What about townhouses and condos?

We are not quoting a number, on purpose. Redfin’s latest townhouse median on its Pinole page is from May 2026, not August, and Redfin labels both the townhouse and condo data for Pinole as limited and says it should not be used for market analysis (Redfin, checked September 24, 2026). With that few sales, one closing can swing the median by six figures.

If you are shopping a townhouse or condo, look at recent sales in that same complex, and get the HOA dues and documents early.

Did Pinole prices really jump 7.4%?

The median did. Price per square foot did not. Redfin shows the all-homes median up 7.4% from August 2025, but the median price per square foot, $447, was down 0.11% (Redfin, checked September 24, 2026). When the median climbs and price per square foot stays flat, it usually means more of the homes that sold were bigger or were houses, not that every home gained 7%.

Look at the months, too. Redfin’s monthly all-homes median was $687,500 in April 2026 and $730,000 in July 2026 before landing at $719,524 in August. Small towns bounce around. Read several months, not one.

How competitive is the Pinole market?

Very, for now. Redfin gives Pinole a Compete Score of 85 out of 100, “Very Competitive,” and says the average home sells about 2% above list and goes pending in around 17 days (Redfin, checked September 24, 2026). Well-priced homes that show well are drawing more than one offer.

That can flip. C.A.R., the statewide real estate trade association, noted that the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate passed 7.0% in the second week of September 2026, citing Mortgage News Daily, and said demand could soften this fall (C.A.R., August 2026 home sales report, September 16, 2026).

How does Pinole compare with Contra Costa County?

Lower. C.A.R. reported a Contra Costa County median of $875,000 for existing single-family homes in August 2026, up 2.9% from $850,000 a year earlier, with a median of 20 days on market (C.A.R., August 2026 home sales and price report, September 16, 2026). That is a county number for single-family homes from a different source. Use it as context, not as a Pinole price.

What does this mean if I’m buying?

Get ready before you fall for a house. With 61.6% of homes selling over list in August 2026, your first offer on a well-priced home may not be your last. Get your loan approval done, set your top number ahead of time, and look at what the same kind of home sold for on nearby streets in the last 90 days.

What does this mean if I’m selling?

Price it right and it can move. Median days on market fell to 23 and price drops fell to 20.1% of homes in August 2026 (Redfin). The flip side: Redfin still counted about 1 in 5 homes with a price drop. Price from the closest recent sales, not from what a neighbor hopes to get.
