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.

Moraga detached home prices fell 10.6% year over year in September 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. Worth a conversation if any of that sounds like where you are.

In September 2022, Moraga's median sale price was detached homes at $1.79M, condominiums at $658K, townhouses at $960K. 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 September 2022 was $1.88M across 23 closings, with a median of 10 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.
