The Proof is in the Contract

The Davenport Group currently has 8 properties in contract — all progressing toward successful closings.

That’s not a coincidence. It’s strategy.

Northern California’s real estate market remains tight, with realistic sellers and well-positioned listings commanding strong attention. Homes priced intelligently and marketed with precision continue to draw multiple offers — even in a shifting rate environment.

When sellers get real, deals get done.

Success Story & Authority

Each of our 8 contracts represents a client who trusted our data-driven approach — from land and residential estates to income-producing assets. These results reflect focused negotiations, strategic marketing, and real-time market data that drive success.

A client recently asked, “Why list now if inventory is rising and prices might dip?”

“Rising inventory doesn’t mean oversupply yet — your asset will still be scarce. Also, early listing gives you an edge before more competition comes in.”

If you’re considering selling, now is the moment to align with a team that’s not waiting for the market — we’re moving it. And when you pair smart pricing with skilled negotiation, you turn opportunity into results. Here’s a quick look at the trends and numbers we’re tracking across the market right now:

Inventory & Supply Pressure

• California’s inventory is still tight, but easing somewhat: active listings are up year-over-year (≈ +9.3 %) vs. last year, and the “unsold inventory index” hovers around 4.0 months (vs ~3.2 months previously) — still below the 5–6 month “balanced” benchmark.  Click Here for More Info

• In early 2025, inventory in some regions rose by double-digits, but many parts (especially in the Bay Area) remain severely undersupplied. Click Here for More Info

• For lower-tier / entry price homes, inventory remains the tightest, since many homeowners with low rates are reluctant to list, while demand from first-time buyers remains strong. Click Here for More Info

Pricing & Sales Volume

• Statewide, home prices in August 2025 are up ~0.6 % YoY, while number of homes sold is down ~5 %. Click Here for More Info

• Some markets are beginning to see slowing price growth or flattening, especially in higher price tiers as mortgage rates weigh on buyers. Click Here for More Info

• Sales volume in California has dropped ~37 % from its pandemic peak. Click Here of More Info

• Sellers are more realistic now: some homes are sitting longer, some listings get withdrawn / delisted, especially if price expectations are too high. Click Here for More Info

Competitive Zones & Disparities

• The Bay Area remains among the tightest markets: e.g. Alameda County had inventory as low as ~1.5 months in early 2025. Click Here for More Info

• In contrast, more inland or peripheral counties may have slightly more breathing room.

• In San Jose, the number of “affordable” listings (for median-income households) has doubled, but still constitutes only ~10 % of the total listings.
