What this means for investors

How much can you negotiate in Danville?

Only 22 out of every 100 homes for sale have found a buyer. The other 78 are still waiting. Your offer may be the only one on the table. Few sellers are dropping their price. Asking prices are holding firm. Your discount will come from one stale listing, not from the whole market.

A typical Danville home takes 74 days to find a buyer. Half of them take even longer. That is 37% slower than a year ago. Those sellers are paying to own a house they want to sell. Search for homes listed 90+ days ago. There are 275 homes for sale in Danville. That is 5.9 times the tightest month on record, but below the peak of 373. Supply is growing against last year.

What to do about it

  • Search Danville homes listed 90+ days ago that have already cut their price.
  • Offer below the reduced price.
  • Keep your inspection and financing contingencies.
  • Ask the seller to pay closing costs.
  • You can lose a few offers here and still win.

Is now a good time to buy in Danville?

Asking prices are at their highest point on record. You are buying at the top. Underwrite it that way. Prices are rising again. Every month you wait costs money. The question is no longer when. It is which house. Danville prices have risen in 82 of the last 108 months. Drops here have been short and shallow. Buying in a slow month has rarely hurt a long hold.

This market is turning. Which way is not settled yet. Check the monthly numbers above before you commit.

What numbers should you underwrite a Danville deal with?

  • Price growth to assume — +8.0%/yr. Danville has grown about 9.0% a year for five years and for ten. That is a durable trend, not a boom artifact. It is a fair long-run input. Prices rose 7.8% over the last year. That is a timing signal, not a trend.
  • Months of carrying cost — 3. A typical home takes 74 days to sell. Budget that long when you exit or refinance. It is 37% slower than a year ago.
  • Odds you cut your price to sell — 1 in 6. About 17% of homes on the Danville market right now have already cut their asking price. Assume you are one of them when you sell. Do not underwrite an exit at your asking price.
  • Comp on this, not median price — $140/sqft. The average listing runs +18% above the median. Luxury homes skew it. Comp your own size class per sqft.
  • Competition when you exit — +71%. That is how much the number of homes for sale grew in a year. Your resale will face a bigger crowd than today's comps did.
  • Price-to-income ratio — 4.8×. A typical home costs 4.8 times the median income. That is the national middle. Neither cash flow nor appreciation is free here. Home prices have outrun incomes. Locals are being priced out.
