Gilroy, Morgan Hill & San Martin Combined Housing Trends Through January 2014

 

The residential real estate market is continuing to grow in the southern most parts of Santa Clara County.   We have 25% more homes for sale than we did last January.  The number of properties entering escrow also indicates we'll likely see increasingly steady trends for the year ahead.  

 

Homes:  For Sale - Sold - In Escrow (Pending)

As pointed out in the narrative of the graph, this area is still considered a Seller's market.  Here's an interesting data point, of the 282 homes addressed in the graph above, only 33 were distressed properties.  Six bank owned properties were advertised between $275,000 and $640,000 while short sales ranged in price from $362,000 to $975,000.

 

Home Affordability:  Average Price For Sale vs. Sold & Median Sales Price

There were reportedly 137 homes at the time of this February 10th post according to the MLS.  With an overall median price  under $600,000 home shoppers may find the value they seek just south of Silicon Valley.

Days on Market & Selling Price vs. List Price

There's little doubt that well priced homes sell faster.  Additional factors such as condition and availability to view also play key roles. 

 

Average Price Per Square Foot - A Rough Yardstick

Always a popular discussion; the average price per square foot should be used as a "rough yardstick" in analyzing a home price.  The more information you have, the better your decision can be.

Rebecca, this is a very encouraging report for your market area of southern Santa Clara County. With inventory so very tight in Silicon Valley, I'm sure you'll see people venturing to your area, not so very far away.
