Eric DeSilva

Analyst and Realtor, The DeSilva Team at eXp Realty. He writes the market analysis published on this site, and is the byline on every dated piece here.

Background

Eric spent about a decade building bond-market pricing systems before moving into residential real estate. That work was about one question: what is this actually worth, given what comparable instruments have traded at, and how confident can you be in the answer. It is the same question a seller asks about a house, and the reason the analysis here leads with closed sales and sample sizes rather than with an opinion.

He has worked in Northern New Jersey residential real estate for eight years and has sold more than 100 homes. The team holds a 5.0 rating on Google. The bond-market background is supporting context for how the work is done; it is not a claim that markets are the same.

What he writes here

The weekly market reporting in News, the decision guides in Guides, and the case studies. The Market Data pages and the generated town reports are produced by a deterministic engine rather than written, and he is responsible for the method behind them, which is published in full at methodology.

How the analysis is done

It starts with relevant closed sales, not asking prices and not an automated valuation. It separates what is specific to a property from what is broader market movement. It states the sample, the period and the assumptions, and it names the evidence that would change the conclusion. Where the record does not support a statement, the piece says so instead of reaching.

No figure published here is produced by a language model. A number comes from the measurement engine or from a cited primary source, or the page says the measure is unavailable.
