The Latest Numbers

Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek & Lafayette September 2026 Market Update! Three neighboring cities told three different stories in August: compared with a year earlier, the average single-family sale price was up 18.2% in Pleasant Hill, up 1.3% in Walnut Creek, and down 11.9% in Lafayette.
