Who Sells The Willows: The Agents Behind 13 Sales in 12 Months

Thirteen sales in 12 months, $44.3M in total, and an average of $3.41M: The Willows over the last year, counted across every Compass agent in the metro. The neighborhood’s small size means the annual record is short, but the prices are high and the range is narrow. The sections that follow break down what those 13 closings say about the market and who closed them.  The range from $2,200,000 to $4,437,000 is tight for a luxury market, and the $1,850 per square foot average explains why: these are smaller homes on valuable land. The $3.41M average is not pulled by a handful of outliers but represents the steady state of the neighborhood. Buyers should expect to pay for the address and the lot, not just the house, while sellers can rely on a consistent pricing band across recent sales. ## The leaders  1. **Michael Galli** — 2 sales totaling $8.3M, top sale $4,437,000 2. **Katy Thielke Straser** — 2 sales totaling $4.8M, top sale $2,610,000 3. **Straser Silicon Valley Team** — 2 sales totaling $4.8M, top sale $2,610,000 4. **Boyenga Team** — 1 sale totaling $4.3M, top sale $4,300,000 5. **Carol Yaffa Borison** — 1 sale totaling $4.3M, top sale $4,300,000 6. **Eric Boyenga** — 1 sale totaling $4.3M, top sale $4,300,000 Six agents share the 13 sales, but the concentration is visible: Michael Galli, Katy Thielke Straser, and the Straser Silicon Valley Team each closed 2 sales, while the Boyenga Team, Carol Yaffa Borison, and Eric Boyenga each closed 1. Michael Galli’s $8.3M in volume leads the group, driven by the neighborhood’s top sale. The field is shallow, with no agent closing more than two homes, which suggests a market where many agents touch a few transactions rather than one dominating the block. ## The biggest The Willows sales of the year  1. **440 Gilbert Avenue** — $4,437,000, closed May 2026, 4 bed, 4 bath, 2,530 sq ft · Michael Galli 2. **415 Oak Court** — $4,300,000, closed May 2026, 5 bed, 3 bath, 2,300 sq ft · Carol Yaffa Borison 3. **331 Trenton Way** — $4,300,000, closed December 2025, 4 bed, 3 bath, 2,210 sq ft · Janelle Boyenga The three biggest sales are all above $4.3M, and two closed in May 2026. 440 Gilbert Avenue, sold by Michael Galli for $4,437,000, is the high mark with 4 bedrooms and 2,530 square feet. 415 Oak Court, sold by Carol Yaffa Borison for $4,300,000, and 331 Trenton Way, sold by Janelle Boyenga for $4,300,000, follow closely. All three are renovated or updated homes on standard lots, showing that top prices here come from condition and location rather than acreage.
