LAMORINDA 2019 Q1 MARKET UPDATE Below is a summary of Multiple Listing Service (“MLS”) data for Lamorinda residential detached home sales over the last twelve months from April 2018 to March 2019 (the prioryear comparison is from April 2017 to March 2018). In summary: • Our overall real estate market remains strong but the numbers don’t tell the full story The early 2019 market delivered strong results for most of Lamorinda. Lamorinda average sales price is now $1.71M, up 9%, average sales price per square foot is $649, up 5%, and average days on market is consistent with last year at 25 days. • Lafayette continues to outpace both Moraga and Orinda - Lafayette’s average sales price is now $1.82M and average sales price per square foot is $686, up 6%. Average sales price per square foot is $588, up 3% for Moraga and $637, up 5% for Orinda. • Certain homes are showing signs of softening – While recently remodeled, commute friendly homes with functional yards continue to push the market to new heights, beginning last Summer homes that needed updating or homes in less desirable locations took longer to sell and experienced price reductions. Volatility of mortgage rates and the stock market combined with the new Tax Plan have led homebuyers to be cautious with homes that do not check all their boxes. • Bay Area Tech IPOs Could Boost The Market – Recent and potential upcoming IPOs from the likes of Lyft, Uber, Pinterest, Stripe and Airbnb that are within commute distance of Lamorinda could boost our real estate market in the second half of the year if stock valuations remain strong The following pages provide further details and breaks down the numbers by home size.

HISTORICAL BAY AREA & LAMORINDA MARKET It is helpful to provide historical context to our real estate market to understand past PERFORMANCE cycles and how Lamorinda faired compared to the rest of the Bay Area. Each cycle always has different market influences and therefore makes pinpointing the exact timing of when cycles begin and end very difficult. Even during bubble or irrational exuberance periods markets can run well beyond what market experts believe is rational. An example is the 2008-9 Financial Crisis caused by early 2000’s lax underwriting mortgage standards that allowed housing prices to skyrocket from zero-down and negative amortization loans. Most economists in 2003-4 believed homes were overvalued but values continued to rise another three to four years until 2007-8. Over the last thirty plus years Bay Area real estate markets were not only influenced by the health of our macro economy but also heavily influenced by Bay Area high-tech sector. Innovation creates new markets that translate into wealth creation that propels the growth of our real estate markets. The Silicon Valley influence today extends well beyond the Peninsula. In recent years the run up in Lamorinda home prices has been fueled by “new-tech” companies headquartered in San Francisco such as Uber, Airbnb, Lyft, Pinterest, Stripe, Salesforce, Twitter, Dropbox and Square where previously the lengthy commute to the Silicon Valley prohibited Lamorinda from being a viable option to most tech workers. The following page provides a historical perspective of past cycles and how Lamorinda price appreciation compares to the rest of the Bay Area.
