Your local connection to the world! What's in your future... beach, mountains, desert, close to grandchildren?? A relocation service I am happy to provide is connecting you with a terrific, well-vetted Realtor anywhere in the US. Since the bulk of my business is representing sellers in Moraga and the Lamorinda area, I've had the pleasure of learning many things about my clients' destination cities and new lifestyle choices. Please do not hesitate to contact me for agent referral help. Close to home... real estate continues to thrive and we are definitely still in a sellers' market here. My listing at 135 Devin Drive in Moraga closed yesterday at $1,225,000 (our asking price was $1.1M). The buyer shared with me that her San Francisco 1 bedroom condo closed two days ago for less than she bought it for 5 years ago. |
Here is a look at our local market activity in Moraga and Lamorinda. |
Lamorinda Market Dynamics |
The table above compares Q3 statistics across 5 years. Q3, summer, typically sees a slowdown from the more heated selling season of Q2, spring, but the pandemic flipped seasonal market trends upside down. There is an additional factor in the enormous year-over-year leap in median house sales price in Q3 2020: buyers are purchasing larger, more expensive homes. |
In a typical year, the end of September often marks the start of a quieter market heading into the holidays. The number of new listings, as seen in the chart below, shows that we are still enjoying an active market and post-SIP recovery period. |
