Price, days on market and sales count: MLSListings, Inc. via rereport.com, July 2026, single-family re-sale homes. Days on market is published as an average, not a median, and measures list date to contract rather than to close. Housing-stock figures where shown are US Census ACS 2020–2024 five-year estimates. Figures change monthly — ask me for the current month before making a decision on them.
Housing stock
59.0% one-unit detached. Because the published median covers re-sale homes only, it excludes the city's substantial new-construction activity, and the true picture of what is trading includes builder inventory the figure does not capture. Larger lots and newer systems mean a materially different inspection profile from a 1960s north-county tract home.
Getting around
Highway 101 runs the length of the city and Caltrain terminates at Morgan Hill, making it the southern end of the peninsula rail corridor. Anderson Lake and the Diablo Range sit east; the Santa Cruz Mountains rise to the west. Commutes north to the central valley employment centres are a defining feature.
What Prop 19 means for a longtime Morgan Hill owner
Morgan Hill is a frequent destination rather than an origin — north-county owners moving south for lot size while carrying their tax base under Prop 19. Buying here at $1.43M while holding a Cupertino or Sunnyvale base year value is one of the most common downsizing structures in the region.
If you are 55 or older you can carry your existing property-tax base to a replacement home anywhere in California, up to three times. Read the Prop 19 guide, or run your net proceeds to see what a sale actually leaves you.
Selling here
Newer housing stock means fewer deferred-maintenance surprises, but also that buyers expect systems to be in working order rather than pricing in replacement.
Straight about the numbers: the figures above are transcribed from the sources named, for the month named. They describe a market, not your house. Condition, location within the city, lot and timing move an individual sale far more than a median does. Nothing here is legal or tax advice — your attorney and CPA have the final word.

A median tells you about the market. It doesn’t tell you about your house. Send me the address and I’ll put together a real analysis by hand — genuinely comparable sales near you, condition adjustments, and an honest range. If it’s not a good moment to sell, I’ll say so.
