When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso.
Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties, revamping the $1.3T vacation home market.
And it works. By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110M+ in gross profits in their operating history.
Now, after 41% YoY gross profit growth last year alone, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Market Insights & Outlook
Core hubs led the tape. Business Bay dominated both off-plan (Thanks to Binghatti Skyrise) and ready, while Burj Khalifa topped ready value.
Apartment-heavy mix. Apartments contributed 93% of off-plan and 65% of ready value, confirming depth on the mid-ticket end where buyers are most rate-sensitive yet active.
Breadth improving. The rise in transactions outpaced value growth, indicating more deals at similar ticket sizes, healthy for liquidity.
Watchlist. Keep an eye on JVC, Dubai Marina, and Dubai Creek Harbour, each features in the weekly leaders and should sustain momentum if launches and handovers stay consistent.
