What's The Most Expensive Home for Sale in Danville?

If you're waiting for your home to regain some of its lost value, you might not have to wait long.

Home prices are on the rise and, according to at least one report, are expected to increase 3.3 percent a year through 2017.

Part of the reason is the lack of inventory, causing multiple bids on houses. Another reason is low interest rates. Another is an improvement in consumer credit, which encourages banks to loan more money.

For fun, we thought we'd look for the most expensive home on the market in the Danville-Alamo area that we could find.

We came up with this five-bedroom, five-bathroom house at 3102 Finley Road that's listed at $11.8 million.

The home is 5,000 square feet and it sits on 240 acres. The property also includes a guest house, a hunting cabin, a chapel, a barn, two pools and a helipad. It's also adjacent to Mount Diablo State Park.

It was built in 1920 and was featured in our oldest homes for sale series last month.
