Lamorinda Market Update - Q1 2026

April 24, 2026

Lamorinda opened Q1 2026 with serious momentum — closed sales surged 29.7% year over year (118 sold vs. 91) while active inventory dropped 29.3% to just 70 homes at quarter's end, creating a tightly supply-constrained market. The median sales price rose 5.5% to $2,240,875, with a notable 13.9% month-over-month jump heading into spring, while homes continued to move at a brisk 9-day median — unchanged from Q1 2025. Competition moderated slightly, with the share of homes selling over list falling from 64.8% to 46.6% and the average sale-to-list ratio easing to 102.4%, though both figures still reflect a seller's market. By submarket, Lafayette led on appreciation at $2,275,000 (+7.7%), Orinda saw the sharpest inventory compression (-43.6%), and Moraga was the lone softspot with median price down 10.8% to $1,950,000 — likely mix-driven given its 23.5% jump in sales volume. With rates easing, buyer confidence returning, and fewer than 70 homes available across all three cities, Lamorinda is entering the spring season from a clear position of strength.

January 20, 2026

The market closed out the year on solid footing — 621 homes sold (up 4.9% from 2024), with the median price holding at $1.9M and homes going under contract in just 12 days. Prices softened slightly (down 1.3% YoY), but competition stayed healthy with 44.6% of homes selling over asking and sellers netting an average 101.2% of list price. Lafayette was the strongest submarket at a $2M median, while Orinda saw the most sales growth (+18%). Heading into 2026, falling mortgage rates, resilient stock markets, and tight inventory point to an active spring.
