read the comps like a property nerd
What sold prices can and can't tell you
Sold prices are the best evidence of value there is, as long as you compare the right homes. Here's how we read them when we price a home.
Sale price vs. list price
In much of Silicon Valley, homes are priced to draw multiple offers, so selling over list is often the plan, not a surprise. Compare sold prices with each other, not with asking prices.
Price per square foot
Useful only between similar homes. A remodeled Eichler, a 1950s ranch and new construction on the same street can sell hundreds of dollars per square foot apart.
Lot, location and schools
Lot size, a busy street, a view or the school boundary line can move value more than an extra bedroom. We adjust for each one.
Days on market
Fast sales mean the price was right or low. Long ones usually mean the first price was too high. Both tell you how buyers saw the home.
Timing
A sale from last spring may not match this fall. We weight recent sales most and adjust older ones for how the market has moved.
What isn't here
Off-market and private sales often never reach the MLS, so some of the most relevant comps aren't public. Our 30 years of local sales help fill that gap.
