Fairview, TX Housing Market Update – September 2026

Fairview Housing Market Update | Reporting Period: Sep 1–Sep 30, 2026 • Data via NTREIS MLS

About this report. This is The Dunnican Team's monthly housing market update for Fairview, Texas. Every figure comes straight from NTREIS MLS transaction data — what homes actually sold for, not estimates or automated valuations — and each one is measured against the same month a year earlier, because a number only means something when you can see what it used to be. Below you'll find the median sale price, closed sales, active inventory, months of supply, and days on market, along with what each of those actually means if you're weighing a move. We publish these every month so you can watch the trend rather than react to a single number. It's the same picture we walk our own clients through, explained the way we'd explain it across the table.

Quick Read

Nine homes closed in Fairview in September, half as many as last September, while active listings held steady at 54. Months of inventory edged up to 4.2 from 4.0, which is still balanced. The median fell 16.6% to $584,000, but price per square foot fell a more modest 4.0%, so much of that drop reflects which homes sold.

The counts on this page matter more than the percentages.

Market Commentary

PRICES
The Fairview median sale price was $584,000 in September 2026, down 16.6% from September 2025. Median price per square foot fell 4.0% to $229.28, a much smaller decline, which means most of the median's drop reflects the size and mix of homes that sold rather than a broad fall in values. September's nine sales covered a wide range: three between $500,000 and $749,999, three at $1 million and above, two between $400,000 and $499,999, and one between $300,000 and $399,999. Homes closed at a median of 96.1% of original list price, stronger than the DFW Metroplex at 93.8%. For context, the DFW median was $379,990.

SALES ACTIVITY
A total of nine homes closed in Fairview in September, down from 18 in September 2025. The median home took 54 days to go under contract, five days less than a year ago, and 28 days from contract to close, unchanged. Total time from listing to closing was 82 days, compared with 95 days across the DFW Metroplex.

INVENTORY
Active listings totaled 54 in September, up 1.9% from a year ago, which keeps supply roughly steady. With closings down by half while listings held level, the slowdown is on the buyer side rather than a surge of new listings.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory stood at 4.2, compared with 4.0 a year ago, which keeps Fairview in balanced territory. That's slightly below the DFW Metroplex at 4.5 months and Texas at 5.5 months. The 96.1% list-price ratio suggests well-priced homes are still drawing solid offers, even with fewer sales.

What Sellers Need to Know

Supply is balanced at 4.2 months, with 54 active listings, about the same as last year.
Homes closed at a median of 96.1% of original list price, stronger than the DFW median of 93.8%.
Fewer buyers are closing, with nine sales compared with 18 a year ago, so pricing and presentation matter.
With nine sales spread from $300,000 to over $1 million, the median says little about your home. Base your price on specific comparable sales.

What Buyers Need to Know

At 4.2 months of supply, Fairview is balanced, with 54 homes to choose from.
Homes closed at a median of 96.1% of original list price, so expect less negotiating room than the DFW average.
Price per square foot is down 4.0% from a year ago.
The median home went under contract in 54 days, so you'll usually have time to compare options.

Fairview Housing Market Outlook: Fall 2026

Fairview heads into the fall with steady inventory and fewer closings, a combination that has kept the market balanced. If sales stay near September's pace while listings hold around 54, months of supply could edge higher, giving buyers more room. Mortgage rates moved higher through late September and early October, and if they stay elevated, the slower pace of sales is likely to continue. If rates ease, steady inventory and strong list-price ratios suggest well-priced homes would attract buyers quickly. Because each month rests on a handful of sales, the trend across several months will tell you more than any single report.
