Taking on the $1.3 trillion US vacation home market sounds like a daunting task.
And yet, the real estate pros behind Pacaso have shown that it’s not only possible — it’s highly scalable for the company and investors, when led by the right team.
Just take a look at their resume:
- The company has made $110M in gross profits to date
- Pacaso’s co-founder, Austin Allison, sold his last company to Zillow for $120M
- They operate in over 40 vacation destinations across the US, Mexico, UK, and France
- They even just reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO
The best part? That’s just the beginning for the game-changing co-ownership platform.
Pacaso’s global reach is growing quickly, and they’re already seeing strong returns in the $500B global market. In 2024, they set records in Paris and London. Meanwhile, Cabo (Mexico) is the #3-most-searched destination on their platform. No surprise Europe and Mexico have accounted for 22% of their revenue over the past two years.
Now, they’re taking international expansion to an entirely new level. They recently announced 10 new international destinations will be added to their platform, spread across Italy, the Caribbean, and Mexico. That means Pacaso’s unique model is poised to dominate a combined $1.8T in vacation home markets.
Normally, everyday investors have to wait for a company like this to go public before they can invest, missing out on that early gain potential.
Thanks to recent regulatory updates, you can share in Pacaso’s growth for just $2.90/share ($1,000.50 minimum investment). But you can’t wait. The opportunity to invest in Pacaso ends on September 18.
Why Investors Are Paying Attention
There are many reasons why firms managing a combined $180B+ in assets, and 10,000+ individual investors have already backed Pacaso, including:
- Proven Leadership: Allison is joined by executives with decades of real-estate and startup experience.
- Strong Growth Metrics: Full-year 2024 financials showed a 21% YoY increase in gross real estate volume and a 24% improvement in adjusted EBITDA.
- Surging Demand: 40% of Americans want to buy a vacation home in the next year (Coldwell Banker)
The demand for Pacso’s services and expertise is real. In top destinations, co-ownership is growing 21% annually in the US, and Pacaso homes have appreciated nearly 10% since 2021 – roughly double the growth of the broader luxury market.
Next-Generation Co-Ownership
After his $120M exit and subsequent role as a Zillow executive, Allison created Pacaso’s co-ownership model. Powered by proprietary tech and an innovative structure that eliminates the headaches of traditional vacation home ownership, it’s already leaving a mark. Here’s how:
- Seamless Transactions: Clients easily buy, finance, and resell, shares of luxury homes through Pacaso’s intuitive tech platform
- Turnkey Ownership: Pacaso handles maintenance, scheduling, and furnishing; owners simply enjoy their vacation homes
- Maximized Value: Homes that once sat empty up to 90% of the year now stay occupied nearly year-round, benefiting owners and local economies
