1. June: A month of strong demand
June 2023 proved to be a strong month for Pacaso, as we experienced a 59% increase in funded shares over May 2023. The enthusiasm from our community also resulted in year-over-year growth compared to June 2022. These impressive figures reflect our commitment to providing exceptional ownership opportunities and reinforce buyer demand for second homes despite a fluctuating market.2. Esperanza: The fastest Pacaso to sell out
We are proud to share the tremendous success of our Los Cabos listing, Esperanza. All ownership interests for Esperanza were sold during the presale phase before it even hit the marketplace. This achievement not only showcases the allure of international real estate but also demonstrates the growing popularity of co-ownership as a contemporary and sought-after approach to owning a luxury second home.In response to buyer demand, a new three-bedroom Los Cabos home will soon be available on the Pacaso marketplace. This 3,595-square-foot-home, to be expertly designed by our in-house design team, is located on the ground floor of Las Ventanas, a Rosewood Resort, giving Pacaso owners direct access to the resort’s exceptional amenities.Pacaso listing: Esperanza — Cabo San Lucas | $450,000 for 1/8 ownership (estimated)
