Gainey Ranch – Home Sale Data
The data provided is sourced from public documents but is provided on an "as is, as available" basis. The data is usually accurate but not always.
Our goal is to show the prices private individuals are paying for homes, therefore, our published data is for homes bought by individuals and married couples, and excludes purchases by business entities such as corporations, LLCs and trusts.
The data is for new and resale, single family residences, townhomes, condos and patio homes.
Sale Date - The closing date (transfer date, recordation date) of the property sale.
Square Feet - Taken from County records, this is a "soft" number. There is no official way to measure the square footage of a home so for two identical homes the reported square footage may be different. In addition, County records don't usually reflect home additions made without permits, such as a homeowner turning a garage into living space with his own labor.
Cost per Square Foot ($ per Sq Ft) - Sale Price divided by Square Footage. Varies significantly according to many factors including, home upgrades, condition, location, size, and the accuracy of County data on total square footage.
Year Built - If the County data doesn't show a year built, we assume it is new.
Sale Price - This is a "hard" number reported to the County.
Address - You can click on the address to get a map of the home. This is very useful. New homes on new streets may not be mappable.
Not Included - Purchases by business entities such as corporations, LLCs and trusts are not included.
The following types of transfers are also not included in our data because they are not open market, arms length transactions and do not necessarily reflect open market prices; government sales, lender repossessions and quit claim deeds.
When a lender forecloses on a home, for example, the transfer does not appear in our reports because that isn't an open market sale. However, when a lender sells a previously foreclosed home, the sale will appear in our reports because it is an open market sale.
Sales that don't include a sales price are not included.
