Danville Performance Report (Dec 2025): The "Intel" Drop & Strategic Selling Roadmap
Real estate decisions should be based on forensic evidence, not headlines. In this Dec 2025 Holiday intelligence briefing, Principal Advisor Robert Song breaks down the "stale inventory" crisis facing Danville sellers and reveals why the "standard recipe" of staging and pricing is no longer enough.

1. The "Intel" Drop: What I Saw on the Ground
Robert takes you inside 15 recent Danville home tours to reveal the "Stale Smell" reality. Buyers are rejecting "lazy prep" and punishing sellers for deferred maintenance. The report explains why an $8,000 strategic investment can save $50,000 in price reductions.
2. Case Study: The Windemere Anomaly
The Problem: Selling a 20-year lived-in home with $0 in staging. The Execution: Using "Strategic Convenience" and front-loaded demand to target 1,155 agents. The Result: Sold in 4 days (vs. 60-day avg) and achieved a Top 10 Price/SqFt for 2025. This proves that narrative marketing beats generic staging.
3. Case Study: The Millbrae Victory
The Myth: You need a "local" agent. The Reality: You need a "Negotiation Architect." The Result: Sold for $2.7M ($711k over list) by orchestrating a multi-phase bidding war that treated the initial offer as just the starting line.
4. The 2026 Roadmap
A month-by-month execution plan for Spring sellers:
December: The "Intel" Phase (Quiet Analysis)
January: The "Prep" Phase (Execution)
February: The "Launch" Phase (Marketing Engine)
