Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Lafayette currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge reading 23 on a seller’s market scale. Months of supply is at 4.7 in this rolling three-month view, up from a year ago but still short of clear buyer territory. Homes are taking a median of 59 days to go under contract, giving buyers some time while still rewarding well-priced listings.
Looking at prices, the typical home value over the latest rolling three months is essentially flat compared with last year, dipping just over 1 percent. Median list prices are down slightly year over year as well, suggesting sellers are being more realistic to meet buyers where they are. Activity has inched up, with homes sold rising about 8 percent and pending sales up roughly the same share from a year ago, while active listings are also higher than last year.
This combination of more inventory and modest price softening, alongside stronger sales counts, points to a market that is active but not overheated. Only about 10 percent of recent sales closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits around 97 percent, indicating that negotiations still matter on both sides of the table. With these mixed signals, both buyers and sellers in Lafayette can benefit from an Agent Pronto recommended real estate agent who understands the local trends and can guide their decisions.

“I could not possibly recommend Diana more strongly. First and foremost, she really took the time to understand my husband's and my lifestyle and priorities. She took us to see all of the houses that we were interested in and also brought other great options to our attention that suited our lifestyle. She was very quick to point out any issues with homes (flood zones, old AC units, no gutters, etc). She was always respectful of our budget with her recommendations and when helping us negotiate. As first time home buyers, we had tons of questions and she was always happy to explain everything and to support us through the closing process. My family warned me that realtors can often be a little pushy which is something I never experienced in the least with Diana. My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with the home and the neighborhood that we are moving into and really owe it in great deal to Diana's knowledge, professionalism and patience.”
