What Zillow shows

What it means for buyers and sellers
Redfin puts Lafayette in its most competitive tier, though the average home gets about one offer. The average home sells for about 3% above list and goes pending in around 14 days, and hot homes go about 8% over in around seven days. Redfin and Zillow agree closely here, both near $1.9 million. Compare with Walnut Creek.
Redfin figures cover the three months through September 2026 and compare with the same period a year earlier. Zillow's Home Value Index is a typical-home estimate, not a sale price, so the two numbers measure different things and won't match exactly.
