These are the highest-priced home sales reported in Diablo Valley–East County, California for the week ending October 25, 2026: five homes in Lafayette, Orinda, Walnut Creek and Bethel Island that sold for a combined $12.37 million.
All five are single-family homes in Contra Costa County, and two of them are in Lafayette. Compass agents listed the top two sales.
No. 1 — $3,400,000 · 932 Reliez Station Rd, Lafayette, California
The top sale of the week is a 1950 ranch home on Reliez Station Road in Lafayette’s Pleasant Hills and Valleys area, the oldest of the five homes. It sold for $3,400,000 and sits on 0.41 acres a short way from downtown Lafayette and the Lafayette-Moraga Trail, with a circular driveway and a covered portico at the entry and an exterior of brick and wood siding.
Inside, the home has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and 3,380 square feet. The great room has a fireplace and a dining area, and large Andersen sliding doors open from it to a balcony and a patio above the backyard. The remodeled kitchen is built around a big island with seating, with a Shaw’s farmhouse sink, a six-burner Dacor range and Miele ovens, including a steam oven, plus a walk-in pantry. The bedrooms are grouped in their own wing, where the primary suite has a private balcony, a walk-in closet and a bath with two vanities, a jetted tub and a large shower. There is also a separate office, a family room with built-in cabinetry and a bonus room.
Much of the appeal is outdoors. The backyard has a saltwater pool and a heated spa, a turf play yard and a basketball hoop. The property also has a poolside entertaining suite of more than 518 square feet, with its own full kitchen and island, a lounge, skylights and glass walls that open onto the pool and the turf yard. The property last sold for $895,000 in 2002.
The home went under contract six days after it was listed and sold for $505,000 above its $2.895 million asking price. Kristi Ives and Lisa Brydon, both of Compass, were the listing agents, and Leslie Shafton of Dudum Real Estate Group represented the buyer.
