How Did the Lamorinda Real Estate Market Look in Q4?

Here’s a look at Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda’s Quarter 4 Real Estate Market Report.  There are lots and lots of very qualified buyers out there who are waiting for houses to come on the market. The spring market typically starts this weekend (the weekend after the Super Bowl).  Will we see the inventory pick up?  (Email us if you would like us to send you a clearer copy – BrydonIvesTeam@apr.com.)
