What This Means
Danville's housing market is showing signs of cooling as we move into spring. The median price dropped nearly 10 percent month-over-month to $1.86 million, continuing a steeper year-over-year decline of 19 percent. While homes are still selling above asking price on average, that cushion has thinned to just 0.7 percent—a far cry from the multiple-offer frenzy Danville saw in prior years. The slowdown appears broad-based, with both sales volume and buyer urgency declining noticeably.
Days on market jumped from 36 to 42 days in just one month, suggesting buyers are taking longer to decide and sellers are becoming less competitive. With 186 active listings on the market—many asking nearly $2 million—inventory is building relative to demand. This inventory buildup gives buyers more breathing room to negotiate and shop carefully rather than rush into bidding wars.
The current picture reflects what we're seeing across the Bay Area: higher mortgage rates, economic uncertainty, and correction from pandemic-era peaks are tempering the market. For sellers, it's a reality check that the gravy train has ended. For buyers with patience, conditions are gradually shifting in their favor, though prices remain well above historical norms for the area.
