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.

Lafayette detached home prices fell 29.7% year over year in October 2022, 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 buyers and sellers inside Moraga Country Club specifically, where floor plan and sale history tell a more precise story than the citywide numbers alone. Worth a conversation if any of that sounds like where you are.

Moraga Country Club sales are reported as detached and townhouse homes only. MCC has no condominium sales in our data, so its price split is narrower than Moraga citywide.

Every closed sale across Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda for October 2022, reported by property type.
| Address | City | Type | Sale price | Closed | DOM | Sq ft |
|---|
In October 2022, Moraga's median sale price was detached homes at $2.21M, condominiums at $615K, townhouses at $1.48M. 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 October 2022 was $1.35M across 19 closings, with a median of 13 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.
