Photos: Modest 1,167-square-foot San Jose home sells for $1.6M

South Bay home sales are heating up as this modest 1,167-square-foot Willow Glen home sold for $1.6 million. That was more than $100,000 over the original asking price of $1,499,999.

The home features an open floor plan with a “warm & cozy living area.” It also boasts hardwood floors, recessed lighting and granite countertops. There is a large side yard for outdoor fun, and the property is not far from shops and restaurants.

Colin Clancy with KW Bay Area Estates was the listing agent.

A shortage of homes for sale in the region has pushed overall prices up. In May, there were 36 percent fewer homes sold in Willow Glen compared to the previous year, according to Redfin.
