Gilroy, plainly read.

Q1 2026 rents in Gilroy grew 4.1% year-over-year. Modest but steady. Eagle Ridge and Glen Loma lead retention thanks to newer construction and stronger school catchments. Downtown Gilroy serves a different tenant cohort with shorter average stays.

Gilroy's tenant mix increasingly includes remote-work tech professionals (a meaningful shift since 2020) alongside the traditional working families and agricultural-industry households. We've seen tenant credit profiles improve significantly across the past five years as the remote-work cohort has grown.

Our four Gilroy doors include two newer-construction Glen Loma homes and two older properties closer to downtown. The operating profile is genuinely different across those two. Different vendor needs, different applicant expectations, different lease-renewal dynamics.

We work Gilroy because owners we already work with elsewhere occasionally acquire here, and the operating standards we apply elsewhere translate cleanly to this market. We don't actively prospect new business here, but we manage what comes through with the same care as our Peninsula book.

AB 1482 state cap; no local rent control. I track the effective rent cap per property and apply it at renewal. That includes the required tenant notices, deposit handling under California Civil Code §1950.5, and any local timing requirements that apply.
