Tri-Valley / Danville Market Snapshot – Jan 2026

Here’s where things stand right now:

🏡 Nationally
• 30-year mortgage rates are in the low-6% range
• Pending home sales are down, so buyers are more cautious and payment-focused

📍 Locally (Danville / Tri-Valley)
• Median values are around $1.8M+
• Well-priced homes are going pending in about 30 days
• Many are still selling at very close to list price

👉 What that means:
• Buyers – You have a bit more breathing room, but the good homes still move fast.
• Sellers – Pricing for today’s market and strong presentation are key. Overpriced homes get ignored.

Curious how this impacts your buying power or what your home could sell for? Send me a message and we can walk through it.

Cheers,
