Methodology
- These figures are published by Redfin Data Center. We show them as published and do not estimate, combine or adjust them.
- They describe Lafayette, CA (city). When a figure is not published for this area, it is left out; a county or metro figure is never shown in its place.
- Each figure covers a rolling three-month period, not a single month, so it moves more slowly than a monthly number would.
- Homes for sale counts every home that was listed at any point in the period.
- Listings with price drops is the share of homes for sale whose asking price was cut during the period.
- Changes from a year earlier compare the same measure for the same period one year before.
- New figures are released monthly, and this page updates after each release. The latest release shown here is dated Sept. 3, 2026.

About these records
- Every project, status, address and description here comes from the City of Orinda’s own published pages. We do not add projects or change what a record says.
- A status is shown in the City’s words, as its record for the project states it. Where it states none, none is shown, and where two of its pages differ, both are shown.
- A status is an administrative record. An approval means planning approvals were granted, not that building has begun.
- Unit counts and floor areas appear as written in each description; they are not totalled here.
- The list covers the projects the City presents on these pages. Smaller projects, and records published only as documents or maps, are not included.
