Former S.F. Giants Star Buster Posey Buys Beautiful Bay Area Abode for $8.3M – Realtor.com News
Buster Posey, the three-time World Series-winning catcher for the San Francisco Giants, quietly scooped up a sweet Lafayette, CA, property in 2023 for $8.3 million.
The former All-Star has spent the years following his abrupt MLB retirement making a cross-country U-turn.
After departing the Giants after the 2021 season and heading home to Georgia, he sold a different home in the town of Lafayette for $7.5 million. He also unloaded his 106-acre ranch in Northern California shortly after.
But while in Georgia, Posey bought into the Giants ownership group and decided he missed the Bay Area. So he sold his $3.9 million Georgia pad last year.
His most recent purchase is a single-level home with six bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, and over 6,300 square feet. According to records, the house last changed hands in 1994, when it was snapped up for $1,317,000. Lafayette is a desirable suburb: The median list home price there is $2.1 million, while the median price per square foot is $905.

The living room has a modern fireplace and built-in wood shelves, while the kitchen is nicely outfitted with dual center islands and stainless steel appliances. Meals can be served in the dining area, which has a wall of windows that lead out to the backyard.
