ADU and Main-House Appraisals in Gilroy
The market contribution of an ADU does not necessarily equal construction cost or projected rent and must be supported by market evidence.
Gilroy market considerations
The Gilroy market is influenced by South Santa Clara County location, commute patterns, Highway 101 access, older residential neighborhoods, newer subdivision development, commercial corridor influence, rural-residential and agricultural edges, school appeal, park adjacency, property condition, lot utility, and buyer demand from the broader Silicon Valley market. A date of death appraisal in Gilroy may require careful comparable sale selection because city residential properties, newer subdivisions, older homes, and rural-edge properties may not all compete within the same buyer pool.
