Celebrity houses you can buy elsewhere for the price of a typical Bay Area home

Across the Bay Area, the trends follow similar patterns, with nearly every single city in the region seeing its home values go up during the pandemic.

Just this week, former Giants Star Buster Posey sold his Lafayette home for $9.3 million. What will the buyer get for that sky-high price? An acre of landscaped grounds, and a 6,038-square-foot, six-bedroom, five-bathroom home — that’s certainly luxury territory, but perhaps not the type of mega-mansion one might expect elsewhere for that amount of money.

Perhaps it’s time to get some perspective: compared to the $9 million someone may pay for Posey’s home, many celebrities in other states aren’t even spending the $1.6 million that an average home gets you in the Bay Area.

Here are just a few examples of notable homes and home sellers from around the country — all going for less than a typical home here.
