Spring Brings Mixed Signals, But Opportunity is Still Blooming
This spring, the local market is showing signs of both strength and uncertainty. In neighborhoods throughout Danville and the Diablo Valley, we’re seeing a mix of outcomes—some homes are flying off the market with multiple offers, while others are taking a bit longer to find the right buyer. It really comes down to the details: location, presentation, pricing, and condition. Buyers are being thoughtful, and sellers are navigating a landscape that feels a little less predictable than years past. Economic volatility has made some people pump the brakes, but well-prepared homes—especially those that are move-in ready, staged, and smartly priced—are still drawing strong interest.
With more inventory on the market, this might be the window attentive buyers have been waiting for. It’s a dynamic time, but not without opportunity—especially when you have trusted guidance.

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.
