What These Numbers Mean for Pleasant Hill Buyers and Sellers
Pleasant Hill's single-zip market (94523) reads as a fast, competitive environment where sellers still hold meaningful leverage, though the edge has narrowed slightly from a year ago. As the Housing Market Trends module above shows, the median sale price sits at $948,372 and moved +0.6% year over year, while the sale-to-list ratio holds at 101.75%. When homes routinely close at or above asking, buyers cannot count on discounts off list as their default strategy. With only 62 active listings against 32 homes sold in a month, months of supply is just 1.9, firmly in seller-favored territory.
The competitive indicators sharpen the picture. About 40.0% of homes sold above list and 33.4% went off the market within two weeks, so well-priced, move-in-ready listings still draw quick, firm offers. At the same time, 23.8% of listings recorded a price cut, and median days on market registered a -4 days change in market time versus last year. That split means aspirationally priced homes are sitting while sharp ones move, giving disciplined buyers real room to negotiate on stale inventory.
For a buyer, the read is to compete aggressively on fresh listings but push back on anything that has lingered past the 18-day median. For a seller, pricing to market rather than chasing the top comp is what separates a two-week sale from a price-drop cycle. With 355 licensed agents active locally, outcomes vary widely by who represents you, which is where matching with a verified, data-ranked agent changes the result.

What to Look for in a Pleasant Hill Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition or a familiar yard sign tells you little about how they perform when your money is on the line. The metrics that matter are closed transactions, pricing accuracy, and how consistently a client's home sells near or above list in a market like this one, where 40.0% of homes clear above asking. On EffectiveAgents, 76 agents in Pleasant Hill have been ranked against verified transaction data drawn from 305 analyzed local sales. Kelly Gargiulo at Keller Williams Realty leads that group, with 563 career transactions and $401.5M in all-time sales volume, a track record that spans price points from Gregory Gardens condos to detached homes in Camelback. Negotiation experience of that depth matters most when 23.8% of listings need repositioning and buyers are scrutinizing anything past the 18-day median. Beyond raw volume, look at review patterns over time: a steady stream of recent, detailed feedback (Gargiulo carries 37 reviews) is a more reliable signal than a single burst of ratings from years ago.
How We Rank Pleasant Hill Real Estate Agents
Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Pleasant Hill market today.
Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

Pleasant Hill Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Pleasant Hill, CA?
The verified top-ranked agent in Pleasant Hill, CA is Kelly Gargiulo at Keller Williams Realty, with 563 closed transactions, 37 reviews, and $401.5M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents does not rank on advertising or self-reported claims. We analyze verified closing data across 305 local transactions and measure agents on completed sales, pricing accuracy, and client review patterns. Of 355 licensed agents in the area, 76 meet our ranking threshold, so the shortlist we surface is matched to your price point, neighborhood, and timeline rather than name recognition alone.
How were these Pleasant Hill real estate agents ranked?
Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.
How many real estate agents are in Pleasant Hill?
Our data covers 355 real estate agents serving the Pleasant Hill area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Pleasant Hill market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Pleasant Hill mean for sellers?
Pleasant Hill's median sale price is $948,372 as of August 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.
How long does it take to sell a house in Pleasant Hill?
In Pleasant Hill, the median home sells in about 18 days, though that figure reflects a -4 days change in market time versus last year. Speed varies sharply within that median: roughly 33.4% of homes go under contract within two weeks, while listings that are overpriced can stall, which is why 23.8% of homes record a price cut. Condition, accurate pricing against recent comps, staging, and the strength of your listing agent all move the timeline. Homes priced to market in a low-supply setting (months of supply near 1.9) tend to sell fastest.
Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?
No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.
Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?
No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.
What commission do Pleasant Hill realtors charge?
Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.
Should I use a local Pleasant Hill agent or a national brand?
The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Pleasant Hill neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.
What questions should I ask a Pleasant Hill realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Pleasant Hill in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
