What I’d tell you about Los Gatos
Hill properties bring access, water, septic, fire insurance and slope into the conversation. Insurance availability alone can decide whether a buyer can close.
Walkability to town carries a genuine premium. Two comparable houses a mile apart are not comparable.
Buyers should price fire insurance before writing on anything in the hills. It has moved sharply and lenders require it.
