Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Fairfield have shifted notably in this rolling three-month view through May 2026. Active listings are down nearly a quarter compared with a year earlier, even as months of supply has roughly tripled to 10.5 months. Fewer homes are closing, with homes sold falling more than a third year over year.
Pricing is responding in different ways at various stages of the process. Typical home values are up sharply, rising more than 25% compared with the same period last year, while the median list price is also higher year over year, though by a smaller margin. Even with these gains, sellers are accepting some discounts, as the average sale-to-list ratio hovers in the mid-90% range.
Time on market has lengthened significantly, with the median days on market jumping compared with a year ago, yet a small share of homes still sell quickly and about 10% are closing above list price. Pending sales have dropped by nearly half year over year, signaling that buyers are being selective and taking longer to commit. With the market gauge still pointing to a seller’s market despite slower sales, conditions can feel confusing on both sides. Buyers and sellers in Fairfield can benefit from an Agent Pronto recommended real estate agent who understands these shifting dynamics and can guide them through the process.
