Reading it right
- These are sale prices, not list prices. Many Gilroy houses sell over asking, so a house listed under your budget can close above it.
- Houses only. Condos and townhomes, which sell for less, have their own post.
- The houses differ. Under-budget sales are often smaller (see the size comparison above), and a neighborhood’s mix of sizes and lots drives its numbers.
- Small samples swing. Every cell shows its count.
- Past sales aren’t a forecast of what you’ll find next month.
- Each sale counts once; none falls inside two of our guide outlines.
How we counted
Closed sales of single-family houses reported to the MLS, read through the IDX feeds that power our home search, with one record per MLS number and only sales with a recorded living area and a map position, placed inside each guide’s outline. A sale counts as under a price if it closed below it.
