On ClozeEZ's owner-listed homes, buyers contact the seller directly: no buyer-broker agreement to tour, no buyer-agent commission built into the purchase, and a flat $200 platform fee owed only if you close.

What buying in Gilbert actually costs
The median Gilbert home in ClozeEZ's data measures 2,360 square feet. Recorded Gilbert sales priced out at a median of $268 per square foot, so at that rate another 500 square feet of house costs roughly $134,000 here. That is the trade a Gilbert budget actually makes: square footage against location, lot and condition.
Property tax is the line buyers forget until the closing statement. ClozeEZ estimates property taxes on Gilbert listings from Maricopa County Assessor parcel data, so you can see the annual tax figure while you are still shopping rather than after you are under contract.
Browsing, touring and offering are free on ClozeEZ. The only platform charge is a flat $200 at closing, and no buyer-agent commission is built into a ClozeEZ purchase unless you separately hire and pay an agent. Your earnest money goes to a licensed title and escrow company, never to the seller and never to ClozeEZ.
What Gilbert homes actually sold for, and how a buyer uses it
Across the 163 Gilbert sales in ClozeEZ's records, the median closed price was $590,000, or about $268 per square foot. That sample size is the point: a single comp is an anecdote, and 163 of them is a price range you can argue from.
Today's Gilbert asking prices run a median of $649,950, roughly 10% above that recorded median sale price. That gap is not proof any one home is overpriced, because the listing pool and the sold pool are different homes, but it is the reason to price a specific Gilbert house against what closed near it rather than against what the neighbors are asking.
ClozeEZ shows these sold comparables on the search map alongside the active Gilbert listings, and because you are talking to the owner rather than through two brokerages, you can ask directly what the seller paid, what they have replaced and why the price is where it is.
Condos and townhomes in Gilbert
3% of the Gilbert properties in ClozeEZ's data are condos or townhomes. If you end up under contract on one, the association matters as much as the unit: ask for the reserve balance, the delinquency rate among owners and any special assessment on the table, and have your lender check the project's eligibility early, because condo project approval can fail for reasons that have nothing to do with your credit.
How buying a Gilbert home works on ClozeEZ
1. Browse and tour freely
Every Gilbert listing is free to browse with photos, prices and property facts. On owner-listed homes, book showings directly with the seller: no exclusive buyer-broker agreement is required.
2. Offer directly on Arizona's standard contract
Make offers straight to the seller using Arizona's standard Residential Resale Real Estate Purchase Contract with electronic signing. Your earnest money goes to a licensed title and escrow company, never to the seller and never to ClozeEZ.
3. Inspect, then close through Maricopa County title and escrow
The standard contract gives you a ten-day inspection period unless you negotiate otherwise, and that window is where every Gilbert item on this page gets checked. A licensed title and escrow company clears title, holds all funds and records the deed. If your purchase closes, the platform charge is a flat $200, not a percentage.
