Gary Frimann and Real Estate Information

Here are some Sales Statistics for Santa Clara County.  This represents a good portion of Silicon Valley.  Jobs numbers are up--a good sign-- and housing sales have increased as the chart shows.  This is welcomed news. Numerous press reports that sale prices have increased across the nation, and median sale prices have increased for the first time since January, 2006.  It has been a long time, with flat prices, but it looks like a recovery has finally taken a foothold, and the market is definitely in transition.  You can see that prices are up just about 10% year over year.  The following represents Santa Clara County only, and the data is from Realist:

Living in the Eagle Ridge Golf Community in Gilroy, CA is truly a great lifestyle.  I live, and work, in Eagle Ridge and have been a resident for over 11 years.  My wife, Nancy Frimann, also works with me.  We have found homes and have helped many people achieve their housing dreams by getting them into their dream home.
Eagle Ridge Realty is a great local brokerage, and we follow the housing market here very closely.  We have a great website which lists all homes for sale (on a map) which are listed on the Multiple Listing Service.

Eagle Ridge Realty specializes in homes for sale in the Eagle Ridge Golf Community, and we work full time, representing both buyers and sellers for this great place to call home. 

Feel free to call us should you be looking to buy a home here.  You will be glad you did.  I've decided to post some pictures to give you a better idea of what it is like to call this place home.

This is the Eagle Ridge Clubhouse.  Golf is open to the general public and the 18 hole, Johnny miller designed course is wonderful to play, and is the centerpiece of this fabulous community.

 

Nestled up against the Gavilan Mountains, there are spectacular views to enjoy.

Many homes are situated along the fairway, which is a great feature.

One of the many bridges along the cart path here at Eagle Ridge.  The golf course is challenging but fair, and is enjoyed by players of all skill levels. 

The golf course can be walked ro ridden.  Carts are required on weekends.  The blue roof across the street is the local middle school.

The Eagle Ridge Community pool is widely used and is great for lap swimming!

The Community park offers tennis courts as well as basketball courts.

Homes along the fairway at Eagle Ridge.
