Danville, CA Real Estate Market - Price Gets it Done

I was in a room with more than 75 local Realtors this morning (it wasn't a hostage situation). I must have heard the same story from 10 different set of lips - if only the sellers had listened to me about price… they wouldn't have lost another $20K, $30K, $50K…

Sellers just aren't getting it - pricing it right to sell will save you tens of thousands of dollars in the long run. We did that for this listing on Barrett Circle in Danville.

Every Re

altor in town has heard the same argument from sellers for over a year now - "we need to get…" But here's the rub - you can't get more than the market is willing to pay and wasting 3 months to wake up to that reality is costing home sellers big bucks.

Homes for sale in Danville are sitting on the market waiting for sellers to get real.

This week's market details report for Danville shows the average days on market for homes in Danville is 104. How much value do you think gets lost in this market in 104 days? How many potential deals get lost because buyers move on to more reasonable sellers? And here's the sad part - the sellers do come down in price because they want/need to sell. They are cutting their own throats by allowing time to pass before pricing the home to sell.

This entire report is 18 pages and breaks the data down by zip code and price point to give you a better idea of what is happening in your price point. You can get it FREE here.

Realtors want to help you get top dollar for your home. Unfortunately, top dollar is not determined by the sellers wants or needs - it's determined by the market and a qualified buyer.

Here's a pricing strategy to help sellers get top dollar for their Danville homes.

HarperMees & Associates is pleased to announce the addition of Margaret Diaz to our team. Margaret has a background in banking and working with real estate developers.

Since joining us and Keller Williams Realty in Danville, CA, Margaret has jumped whole-heartedly into residential real estate. Her contributions to our team will be as a buyer’s agent, helping us with our escrow management, and becoming an expert on the 680 Corridor Condo / Townhome market.

Google Maps has added some new features and I am wondering how we can use the features in our real estate business. The map generates an assortment of pictures of the targeted area and also incorporates Wikipedia information on the target area, in this case - Danville California.

I'm sure if you were using this feature for San Francisco, you have many more photos than Danville does. One idea that jumps to mind is sending a map like this to clients from out of the area that are relocating to Danville.

I thought I would post an article on this feature to see how the map embedding turns out. So without further ado, I give you Danville, CA.

The Keller Williams Realty Market Center, currently located at 500 La Gonda Way in Danville, California, will soon be moving to the Rose Garden in Danville. The Rose Garden is a new commercial development at the corner of Sycamore Valley Road in Danville. We wrote about the Rose Garden before after dining at Amicis.

This will be a great move for Keller Williams Realty as the Rose Garden office space will allow KW to configure the space to suit our needs better than the La Gonda location. Keller Williams will be occupying most of the upper floor of this building located on the corner of Rose Garden and Camino Ramon directly across the street from Denny’s and the Danville Best Western.

The convenience of the restaurants and cafes at the Rose Garden will be a plus for the Keller Williams’ Realtors and our clients relocating from out of the area will find the Best Western convenient.

Our new office space includes a huge outdoor patio which will have tables with Keller Williams’ red umbrellas. We will also be able to have exterior signs which was not possible at the old location.

Another nice thing about moving is that we will be able to upgrade the new space to newest standards in networking and wiring.

The real estate agents of Keller Williams Danville are very excited about the move – and – I think the folks at Amicis are too – TGIF, send up the pizzas!
