With all this confusion and the quick pace of changes, it can be hard to determine whether making a purchase or selling a house would be a good deal. This detailed guide will elaborate on all the housing market trends in the region of Morgan Hill and the surrounding areas as well.

Demand for Houses in Morgan Hill
While these areas have been in demand the past couple of years, the demand still hasn't been as much as those of other regions in Santa Clara. A huge reason behind this moderate demand rate is that different locations based in Santa Clara tend to be more of a tech magnate and provide more potential in the area of technology. Since they are located much nearer to big businesses, their demand tends to be through the roof. Nonetheless, Morgan Hills is still a priority for all those who don't measure in the element of tech companies and businesses.
This happens to be a great piece of news for interested buyers as the lack of demand tends to lower each home's price. According to CoreLogic Price Index for Homes, properties that would often get listed with a sale price of around 100 to 105% would sell for a lot lower when it comes to houses in Morgan Hill and surrounding areas. However, be sure to note that even though there is some good news for buyers, it is still a seller's market. More on this later.

House Selling Statistics

Some of these offers would even come with waived contingencies.

Moreover, selling the house would go into a pending mode in around two weeks or less, as noted by statistics. Homes that are affordable and accommodable for families are known to be sold off at prices much higher than what was listed originally. This results from various bidding wars, and buyers scramble to get their hands on a good deal.

However, there is no surety that this pace would increase at a staggering rate in a couple of months. On the other hand, sellers can benefit as the inventory is not very high, leaving them in a safer zone as whatever they do have is bound t to be sold off nasality those looking for affordable housing.
