Lafayette's real estate landscape is in flux, creating opportunities that savvy buyers and sellers can capitalize on.

The numbers tell a compelling story:

• Hot properties are pending within 72 hours of hitting the MLS (Contra Costa Association of Realtors)
• Yet, we are puzzled by homes that appear to be equally impressive, in coveted neighborhoods, sitting on the market for 45+ days
• Inventory has increased by +18% year-over-year (California Association of Realtors) - breaking a multi-year pattern
• In 2025, so far, the average days-on-market sits at 28 days, double that of 2024's brisk 14-day average
• Lafayette's resilient median price holds strong at $1.85M - still climbing +2.2% despite market headwinds (Contra Costa County Assessor's Office) 

Here's the reality: market fluctuations create noise, but your specific real estate objectives remain the signal worth focusing on.

What makes Lafayette unique right now? Our dramatic market variation. Properties in one area command multiple offers above asking price, while similar homes nearby create substantial leverage for prepared buyers. This market diversity isn't chaos, despite feeling that way. It's a strategic advantage for those who know how to navigate it.

With Lafayette inventory reaching a three-year high and interest rates stabilizing (according to the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey), the window for strategic moves is currently wide open. The market won't wait, and neither should you.

We are on standby to help!
