July 2020 at a glance
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's median detached sale price in July 2020 was $1.76M across 46 closings, with a median of 7 days on market.
When are Lamorinda home prices highest during the year?

DRE 02014153 / 01409268 (Ben Olsen)
Ben Olsen represents buyers and sellers through BrightWork Realty Advocates, with a practical, data-driven focus on Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda, the pricing patterns that actually move within each city, and the details that separate a well-timed decision from a rushed one.
This report is designed as a field guide for Lamorinda decisions: real closing data every month, split by city and property type, the sales that beat expectation and the ones that didn't, and a clearer way to read what's actually happening before you list or make an offer.
Full bioEight reasons Lamorinda sellers choose a different approach
Most listings need more than MLS exposure. BrightWork diagnoses, designs, and executes a full strategy for homes across Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda, combining presentation, modern tools, financial programs, and long-cycle local experience.
Superior Presentation
Professional photography, floor plans, 3D tours, and Sky Tours on every listing. Not the luxury package. The baseline.
Premium Portal Presence
Zillow Showcase and premium homes.com membership. Higher view counts, better placement, and buyer inquiries that route to your listing team.
Integrated Campaigns
Every sign, mailer, and open house connects to a digital system. Curious neighbors become trackable leads.
Modern Offer Management
Real-time portal data guides pricing decisions. Final Offer platform for properties with strong multi-offer potential.
Financial Tools & Capital Programs
Capital to fund pre-sale improvements with no out-of-pocket cost until close. Plus programs that remove the timing trap entirely.
Off-Market Strategy
A private list of serious Bay Area buyers. Test demand quietly or gain early access before properties hit MLS.
Advocacy for Unsold Homes
When a home hasn't sold, we don't re-list at a lower price. We conduct a forensic review and relaunch with a rebuilt strategy.
Built to Close Clean
Pre-sale prep, real fixes, and full disclosure to every buyer before the house lists. The preparation is the negotiation.
