“Working with Paul Hayworth was one of the best decisions I made during the home buying process. From day one, his communication was outstanding. He kept me informed every step of the way, making sure I knew about every update and changes as soon as it happened. Paul went above and beyond to negotiate on my behalf and was able to convince the seller to agree to the deals that were important to me. His knowledge, strategy, and confidence throughout the process were incredible he truly is a mastermind at what he does. He also made sure all of my inspections were scheduled and completed within a week, which helped keep everything moving smoothly and on schedule. His personality made the entire experience enjoyable, and I always felt like I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared about helping me. As a first time homebuyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. Thank you for making my dream become reality!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Capitola’s rolling three-month snapshot through June 2026 shows a tight but active market, with 54 active listings and 33 new listings coming on. Homes are moving through the pipeline, as 31 sales closed and 29 went under contract, even as new listing activity is down compared with a year ago.
Pricing has climbed over the past year, with the typical home value up more than 10 percent year over year and the median list price up sharply compared with last June. At the same time, about 20 percent of sales closed above list and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent, signaling buyers have limited room to negotiate.
Conditions lean toward sellers, reflected in only 2.2 months of supply and a seller’s market designation, yet buyers are taking longer to commit, with median days on market up notably from a year earlier. With roughly a third of homes going off the market within two weeks and others sitting longer, both buyers and sellers in Capitola can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent who understands how to navigate these mixed signals.

“Working with Jason Hoffman was one of the best decisions we made. He helped us sell our condo and guided us through the purchase of our first home in Moorpark, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Jason was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He made what could have been a stressful process feel organized and manageable by keeping us informed every step of the way.
