Key Findings

1. The primary market signal is the median sold price of $1,099,944, which represents the most reliable indicator of realized value for recent SFR and condo transactions in Gilroy; given the up price trend, this suggests modest upward pressure on sale values.

2. Comparing transaction context to supply signals, the market appears to have a relatively constrained active supply, which, together with a hot market temperature, may support seller leverage despite elevated financing costs.

3. Liquidity appears muted relative to expectations: the median days on market is 213, which signals slower sales velocity and suggests more time is required to convert listings into closed sales even as prices trend up.

4. There is a modest listing-to-sale gap: the median listing price is $1,149,000 versus the median sold price of $1,099,944, which may indicate seller pricing optimism above recent transaction levels; combined with elevated interest rate pressure averaging 6.35% locally, buyers may be more price-sensitive and negotiations could center on financing-driven affordability.

Key Findings

1. The neighborhood's primary indicator of market value is the median sold price, which is $598,888, and with price year-over-year trending up and the market temperature described as hot, recent transactions support modest price appreciation and continued competitiveness.

2. The median days on market is 230, which suggests slower sales velocity and pricing friction despite a competitive market temperature; this appears alongside relatively constrained active supply in the analyzed sample and may indicate longer decision timelines for buyers.

3. There is a notable gap between the median listing price of $797,500 and the median sold price of $598,888, which may indicate elevated seller price expectations relative to recent transaction values and could cause additional negotiation or price adjustments.

4. Interest rate pressure is elevated: current 30-year fixed mortgage rates for properties in Gilroy average 6.35%, which is 0.48% higher than the 5.87% market average observed in February 2026, and rent momentum (median market rent $2,350, rent year-over-year trending up) provides some support for buyers considering long-term holding despite higher financing costs.
