In the two years to October 27, 2026, 149 of the 678 single-family houses that sold in Gilroy (22%) closed at $1.5 million or more, by the MLS records we can read with repeat records removed. In 2012, 1 did all year; in 2025, 78 did. Here is where those sales happened, inside each of our neighborhood guides.

The short answer

  • Across the city: 44% of house sales closed at $1.2M or more, 22% at $1.5M or more and 7% at $2M or more. The highest sale was $4.2M, outside our neighborhood guides.
  • Where they cluster (share of house sales at $1.5M+, guides with at least 8 house sales): Eagle Ridge & Hecker Pass (49%) and Lions Creek & Country Estates (28%). 59 of the 149 sold outside our seven Gilroy guides.
  • None at $1.5M+ in the window: Las Animas & Crestwood and Downtown Gilroy.
  • What it buys: the typical house that sold for $1.5M or more went for $1.74M, with 3,264 sq ft ($547 per sq ft), against 2,258 sq ft and $527 per sq ft for all Gilroy houses.

Reading it right

  • These are sale prices, not list prices, and they aren’t adjusted for inflation.
  • Size drives much of the top end, so compare price per square foot as well as price when you look at houses at $1.5M or more.
  • Small samples swing. Every cell shows its count, and one or two sales can move a small guide’s share.
  • Each sale counts once; none falls inside two of our guide outlines.
  • Past sales aren’t a forecast or the value of any one home.

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 at a price if it closed at that amount or more. The yearly table uses the same rules, by closing date, through September 30, 2026.
