What’s happening with home prices here in Lamorinda? The August numbers tell an interesting story. 📊

Compared with August 2025, median single-family home prices are up in all three Lamorinda communities:

🏡 Lafayette: $1,915,500 — up 6%
🏡 Moraga: $1,937,500 — up 19%
🏡 Orinda: $1,790,000 — up 15%

While month-to-month numbers can move around, these year-over-year figures give us a helpful look at how our local market is performing.

And as always, the median price is only part of the story. Inventory, location, condition, timing, and the individual property all matter when you're buying or selling.

I love keeping an eye on the numbers, but more importantly, helping my clients understand what they mean for their particular situation.

Have questions about the Lamorinda market? I'm always happy to chat! 🏡💛

Welcome, Autumn!

🍂 Crisp mornings, falling leaves, cooler evenings, and that unmistakable feeling of wanting to slow down and stay in a little longer.

It's the season for warm drinks by the window, cozy blankets on the sofa, candles glowing in the evening, and gathering around the table with the people who make home feel like home.

There’s something about fall that makes the simple comforts of home feel even better.

What do you love most about the season?

Big goals aren’t built overnight. They start with small, intentional steps taken today. Whether it’s saving a little more, getting pre-approved, or starting to explore the market, every action moves you closer to where you want to be.

The decisions made today can shape the opportunities of tomorrow. Take the first step toward your future goals today!

One More Concert! 🎶

How can summer be wrapping up already?! ☀️

The Moraga Summer Concert Series has given us so many wonderful evenings of music, dancing, food, friends, and community—and there’s ONE MORE CONCERT to go!

Join us September 26 at the Moraga Commons for the final concert of the season: HouseRockers, from 12–3 PM as part of the Pear & W**e Festival. 🎸🍷

If you've been meaning to make it to a concert this summer, this is your last chance! Grab your friends and family, bring a blanket or chair, and come enjoy one more afternoon together before we officially say goodbye to summer.

Thank you again to the Moraga Park Foundation and everyone who has made this year's concert series so special. I’m so happy to be a sponsor for the 4th year and even happier to be part of this wonderful community!

Hope to see you there! 💛🎶

There’s something special about concerts in the park. 🎶☀️

A blanket on the grass, good music in the air, friends and neighbors gathered together, and maybe a beautiful sunset to top it all off. These are the simple summer moments that make living in Lamorinda so special. 💛

As summer winds down and we head into September, I’m feeling grateful for all the evenings spent enjoying live music and our wonderful community.

Here’s to soaking up those last few summer nights in the park! 🌅🎶

What’s your favorite part of a concert in the park?

🎶 Lafayette Art & W**e Festival: Come for the Music!

One of my favorite things about the Lafayette Art & W**e Festival is that you don't have to choose between great food, beautiful art and live music—you get it all! 🎨🍷🎶

This year's music lineup is so good, with bands playing non-stop across three stages all weekend, plus the Community Stage featuring local performers, student musicians and more. There really is something for everyone!

A few highlights I'm looking forward to:

🎸 ZEBOP! — Santana tribute
🎤 The Spazmatics — Saturday night fun
🎶 East Bay Mudd — Soul, Funk & R&B
🎸 The Big Jangle — Tom Petty tribute
🤠 Lonesome Eddie & the Saddle Sores — Country & Country Rock
🎷 3day Weekend — Motown, R&B, Classic Rock & Funk
🎶 Plus Random Nature, Midnight Flyer, The Bell Brothers Band, Juke Joint, Other People's Money and so many more!

And the best part? The music is FREE! 🙌

📅 Saturday, September 19 | 10 AM–7 PM
📅 Sunday, September 20 | 10 AM–6 PM

Admission is free, parking at BART is free, and there's a free shuttle to the festival. So grab your friends, come downtown, listen to some great music, enjoy the art and food, and soak up everything that makes Lafayette such a special community. 💛

Who are you most excited to see? 🎶

For some buyers, the school district is one of the most important factors in the decision-making process. For others, priorities like commute times, home features, lifestyle, or budget take the lead.

📍 Location impacts more than education - It can shape daily routines, commute times, community connections, and how well a home fits your needs over the long term.

🏡 Every buyer weighs trade-offs differently - Some are willing to compromise on square footage, finishes, or price to be in a preferred area, while others prioritize the home itself.

💡 There is no one-size-fits-all answer - The right choice comes down to your goals, lifestyle, and what matters most to you.

When searching for a home, would school zoning be a must-have, a nice-to-have, or not a deciding factor? 💬 Share your answer in the comments!

Touring homes with kids can get hectic quickly. A little planning can make the search smoother and more productive for the whole family.

Here are a few tips that actually help:

📱 Narrow It Down First: Use listing photos and virtual tours to save in-person visits for the strongest options.
📋 Know Your Must-Haves: Focus on the layout, location, storage, outdoor space, and features your family truly needs.
📍 Explore the Community: Consider parks, activities, commute times, childcare, and the places your family will use regularly.
🧸 Keep Kids Involved: Give them a simple checklist or “Home Detective” job to make showings more fun.
🍎 Come Prepared: Snacks, water, activities, and a little patience can go a long way!

A focused search can help the whole family enjoy the experience and recognize the right home when it comes along.

Are you ready to start house hunting? Reach out for guidance in finding a home that fits your family’s needs!

This weekend, we came together to celebrate the incredible contributions of all the members of our National Charity League Lamorinda Chapter throughout the 2025–2026 calendar year. Together, we proudly served 8,832 hours of philanthropic service — a remarkable reflection of the heart, commitment, and generosity of our members and families. 💕✨

Our Mother-Daughter Tea is an annual tradition that began more than 100 years ago and is now celebrated by more than 330 chapters of National Charity League. Traditions like this are so much more than an event on the calendar — they bring us together, give us something to look forward to, and create memories that stay with us for years to come.

I was incredibly proud to serve as Co-Chair of this special event, welcoming more than 240 attendees as we gathered to celebrate and honor our girls. Watching our daughters share in this beautiful tradition with their mothers was such a special reminder of the meaningful bonds we are creating — both within our families and throughout our Chapter.

Most of all, I am grateful for the time spent doing philanthropy alongside my daughter and for the opportunity to experience these moments together. I have loved seeing her ideas and creativity come to life through her event-planning contributions and watching her grow in confidence, leadership, and service along the way. 💗

So grateful for the friendships, the service, the traditions, and the memories we are creating together. Here’s to honoring our girls today and passing these beautiful traditions on for generations to come. 🌸
