monthly market update

Fairview's median home price jumped 88.2% year over year in July 2026 to $1,270,000, though price per square foot rose a much steadier 7.2%, indicating the median is heavily influenced by a larger share of $1M+ sales this month. Closed sales rose 16.7% to 14, and months of inventory eased to 3.9, keeping the luxury market close to balanced.

Fairview, TX Housing Market Update | Reporting Period: July 1–31, 2026

Key Highlights | Fairview Housing Market Update

Median Price: $1,270,000 (+88.2% year over year)
Closed Sales: 14 (+16.7% year over year)
Active Listings: 52 (-10.3% year over year)
Months of Inventory: 3.9 (down from 4.4 last July)

A note on this month's numbers: Fairview closed 14 sales in July — a small enough sample that percentage swings, especially the striking median price jump below, can look larger than the underlying shift. We'd read this month's figures as directional rather than definitive.

PRICES
Median price came in at $1,270,000, up a striking 88.2% from July 2025. Price per square foot rose a far more modest 7.2% to $279.77 — when the two figures diverge this dramatically, it points to a shift in the mix of homes selling rather than a near-doubling of actual values. This month, 64.3% of closed sales were above $1M, well above Fairview's typical mix, which is almost certainly driving the median.

SALES ACTIVITY
Fairview closed 14 sales in July, up 16.7% from a year ago.

INVENTORY
Active listings fell 10.3% year over year to 52. Months of inventory eased to 3.9, down from 4.4 last July.

MARKET BALANCE
At 3.9 months of supply, Fairview leans toward sellers, though just barely. Days on market rose to 81, up 17 days from last July, and total time from list to close now averages 110 days. Homes are closing at 93.4% of original list price.

What Sellers Need to Know

Don't read the median price jump as a signal to price aggressively — it largely reflects a heavier mix of $1M+ sales this month.
Expect a longer runway: total time from list to close now averages 110 days.
The 93.4% close-to-list ratio means realistic pricing still matters.
Nearly two-thirds of closed sales this month were above $1M.

What Buyers Need to Know

At 3.9 months of supply, conditions are close to balanced, leaning just slightly toward sellers.
Median home size is a substantial 4,253 square feet — this market is built for larger luxury homes.
Homes are sitting longer than a year ago (81 days on market), so there's time to be selective.
Don't let the headline median price scare you off — price per square foot tells a steadier story.

2026 Fairview Housing Market Forecast

Because Fairview sees relatively few transactions each month, expect continued swings in the headline percentage figures as the mix of homes selling shifts from month to month — this month's dramatic price jump is a case in point. If inventory holds near current levels, expect the market to stay close to balanced through the rest of the year. If mortgage rates ease, watch for continued interest at the upper end of the price range. Buyers and sellers here are best served by focusing on price-per-square-foot trends and specific comparable homes rather than the headline median.
