MORE MONEY COMING IN
For 4,882 square feet of land, $1.6 million is a lot of money. This equates to $327 per square foot. Though comparing commercial real estate rates to residential is not a wise practice, you might be wondering what this does to the value of your home. Per Valley Wide Homes, Gilbert home values are roughly estimated at $162 per square foot. This estimate probably won’t change as a result of Western Audio land sale. More importantly, you must always remember the value of your home only matters when you’re selling it.
However, more money and increased economic activity is coming to our town and this is always a positive. Expanding our local economy creates more jobs and public destinations and therefore, more demand for housing.
