Stepping into Spring: The 2025 Market is Warming Up
As we settle into 2025, the real estate market in the Diablo Valley, including Danville, is beginning to pick up momentum. Interest rates have dipped below 7%, stock markets remain high (though with some volatility), and while consumer confidence has wavered, the local housing market is showing its usual early-year resurgence. After the December slowdown, we’re seeing a steady increase in both new listings and homes going into contract—trends that are expected to accelerate as we move closer to spring.
Spring in the Bay Area has historically been the busiest time for real estate, bringing heightened demand and, often, peak home prices. With the “rate lock-in” effect expected to ease in 2025, more inventory may come to market, providing new opportunities for buyers and sellers alike. While broader economic and political factors continue to evolve, the fundamentals of our local market remain strong, offering promising prospects for those looking to make a move this year.
Thinking about buying or selling this year? The market is heating up, and planning ahead is key! Let’s connect to discuss your goals and create a strategy tailored to you. Whether you’re ready now or in the future, we’re here to provide expert guidance every step of the way.

Statistics are generalities, essentially summaries of widely disparate data generated by dozens, hundreds or thousands of unique, individual sales occurring within different time periods. They are best seen not as precise measurements, but as broad, comparative indicators, with reasonable margins of error. Anomalous fluctuations in statistics are not uncommon, especially in smaller, expensive market segments. Last period data should be considered estimates that may change with late-reported data. Different analytics programs sometimes define statistics - such as "active listings," "days on market," and "months supply of inventory" -- differently: what is most meaningful are not specific calculations but the trends they illustrate. Most listing and sales data derives from the local or regional multi-listing service (MLS) of the area specified in the analysis, but not all listings or sales are reported to MLS and these won't be reflected in the data. "Homes" signifies real-property, single-household housing units: houses, condos, co-ops, townhouses, duets and TICs (but not mobile homes), as applicable to each market. City/town names refer specifically to the named cities and towns, or their MLS areas, unless otherwise delineated. Multicounty metro areas will be specified as such. Data from sources deemed reliable, but may contain errors and subject to revision. All numbers to be considered approximate.
Many aspects of value cannot be adequately reflected in median and average statistics: curb appeal, age, condition, amenities, views, lot size, quality of outdoor space, "bonus" rooms, additional parking, quality of location within the neighborhood, and so on. How any of these statistics apply to any particular home is unknown without a specific comparative market analysis.
