At a Glance

June 2025 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.

What This Means for Lamorinda

Moraga detached home prices fell 14% year over year in June 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 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.

In June 2025, Moraga's median sale price was detached homes at $1.75M, condominiums at $1.17M, townhouses at $850K. 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.

What was the median detached home price in Lafayette in June 2025?

Lafayette's median detached sale price in June 2025 was $2.08M across 34 closings, with a median of 14 days on market.

When are Lamorinda home prices highest during the year?

Across 2021 through 2025, our detached-only seasonal index shows sale prices peaking in May and reaching their low in January.

Does Moraga Country Club include condominiums?

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.

Superior Presentation

Integrated Campaigns

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
