A Closer Look at Average and Median Pricing

Gilroy Housing Trends Year End 2013 Report

 

Median pricing of under $500,000 in December 2013 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

Gilroy Housing Trends Year End 2013 Report

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.

Looks like quite a difference between for sale and sold square foot price. Have been to the Garlic festival a few times. Great place to visit.
