Median pricing of just under $600,000 in February 2014 is trending higher along with increasing interest rates suggesting another strong year in the Gilroy housing market. When studying trends, be sure to consider all the factors so you understand what is driving them.

 

 

Continuous Days on Market & List Price Performance

In this view we consider how many days a home stays active on the market before an offer is accepted by the seller.  You'll also note the sales price compared to the original list price in a percentage. 

 

 

Some homes will remain on the market longer than others because of their situation.  Maybe they're located near the largest lost planet disposal site on earth (not here, by the way) - that can be a factor which would keep a home on the market longer.

 

 

Another factor is the original list price.  A properly priced home is likely to sell faster than one out of step with the market.

 

 

Gilroy Average Price Per Square Foot

Average prices should be used as a rough yardstick in measuring value of homes unless each home is identical.  There are different locations, materials, styles and so many other factors that need to be considered. 

 

You can get a free home value estimate online, but they won't be tailored to your situation.  Let's get together and make sense out of the numbers.  Current and accurate information, with your circumstances as the focus  helps you make better informed decisions.
