Median prices, days on market, and full property-type detail for Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda. Every figure is split by property type. No blended medians.
Each city is broken out by property type. Reporting a single blended median would misstate this market, most of all in Moraga, where condominium and townhouse prices sit well below detached homes.

Lafayette detached home prices fell 31% year over year in February 2025, the largest move of the three communities. The picture shifts for different kinds of buyers and sellers across Lamorinda this month. That's a real opportunity for anyone whose listing expired elsewhere and is ready to relaunch with a different strategy instead of just cutting the price, or sellers who'd rather fund pre-sale improvements than sell at a discount, through pre-sale construction financing. Worth a conversation if any of that sounds like where you are.

In February 2025, Moraga's median sale price was detached homes at $2.19M, condominiums at $430K, townhouses at $860K. BrightWork reports each property type separately because a single blended median misrepresents the Moraga market, where condominium and townhouse prices sit far below detached homes.
Lafayette's median detached sale price in February 2025 was $1.71M across 12 closings, with a median of 9 days on market.
Across 2021 through 2025, our detached-only seasonal index shows sale prices peaking in May and reaching their low in January.
No. Moraga Country Club sales in our data are detached and townhouse homes only. It has no condominium sales, so its detached versus townhouse price gap is narrower than the citywide Moraga split.
