How it compares with homes like it
Peer data for this specific closing — single-family homes of similar size and bedroom count nearby — is not available in sufficient volume to draw a clean comparison. What the recent Los Gatos single-family record does show: 185 Howes Drive (1,088 sq ft) closed September 16 at $1,618 per square foot, and 16359 Shady View Lane (1,285 sq ft) closed September 16 at $2,179 per square foot. Loma Alta's $1,616 per square foot sits at the lower end of that narrow band of recent smaller-footprint sales, though the addresses, lot sizes, and bedroom counts differ, so the comparison is directional only.
