The highest priced listing sold last week was 1026 Llagas Road in Morgan Hill, a 4,893 s.f. bank-owned home on a 90,604 s.f. lot priced at $899,000.  This home had been on the market for 44 days.

As of September 20, 2009, there are 287 residential (single family homes and condos) listings active on the market in Morgan Hill, San Martin and Gilroy.  There are currently 378 pending residential listings.  Therefore, 57% of the total listings are pending under contract as of this date.  However, many of the pendings are short sales and therefore take a long time to close.  This keeps our pending percentage up artificially high. 

Only 15 residential real estate listings closed escrow during the past week in the south county towns of Morgan Hill, San Martin and Gilroy.  If homes continued to sell at this rate it would take 19 weeks to sell all south county listings.  Therefore, as of this past week, we have 4.8 months supply of inventory.
