That one number covers every condo, townhouse and house that sold. Your price depends on the type of home, the street and how much work it needs. Here is what August showed, and how to get a number you can use.
What did homes in Pleasant Hill sell for in August 2026?
Most sold close to asking or a bit over, and fast. These are Redfin’s August 2026 figures for all home types in the city (Redfin, Pleasant Hill housing market page, August 2026, checked September 24, 2026):

Are prices in Pleasant Hill going up or down?
Close to flat. A 0.6% change over a year is small enough that the mix of homes sold in one month can move it. So do not read it as a trend in either direction. Our forecast answer covers what named forecasters say about the year ahead.
Is it a buyer’s market or a seller’s market?
Both sides have something to work with. Sellers: 43.2% of homes sold over list and the median home was on the market just 18 days. Buyers: 23.8% of homes had a price cut before they sold (Redfin, Pleasant Hill housing market page, August 2026, checked September 24, 2026).
In plain English, a well-priced home in good shape still moves fast. An overpriced one sits, then gets cut. If you are buying, the cut listings are where you have room to talk.
For county context, C.A.R., the statewide real estate trade association, reported 2.7 months of unsold inventory and 20 median days on market for Contra Costa County single-family homes in August 2026, down from 3.1 months and 21 days in August 2025 (C.A.R., August 2026 home sales and price report, released September 16, 2026, checked September 24, 2026).
Why is the median not the price of the home I want?
Because it is a middle point, not an appraisal. Half the homes sold for more and half for less. A two-bedroom condo and a four-bedroom house on a big lot both land in the same pile. And 97 sales in one month is a small sample.
Redfin also reported $609 per square foot as the August median. That helps you sanity-check a listing, but lot size, updates and the street matter more than any average.
How do I find out what a specific Pleasant Hill home is worth?
Look at recent sales of homes like it, close by. Match the type, the size within a few hundred square feet, the bedroom count and the condition, from the last three to six months. Check whether each one is inside the city or in unincorporated county land, since the tax bill and services can differ. Then adjust for what is different.
We can pull that list for you. If you own, our home value page is the fast way to start.
What costs besides the price should I plan for?
Property tax, HOA dues on many condos and townhouses, and insurance. Ask for the current property tax bill and any HOA budget and rules before you commit, and check whether the parcel carries special assessments. For what any of it means for your taxes, talk to a tax professional or the Contra Costa County Assessor.
