Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Fairfax real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
The typical home value in Fairfax is projected to be $1,473,250 for the month of February. January’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $1,310,000—down 11.04% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $1,289,000 in Marin County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $1,326,000 in February.
Fairfax had 5 active listings in January, including 2 new listings. Overall, active listings were down 0.0% from the previous month.
The median listing price for homes in Fairfax grew 19.41% from December to January, bringing the current median listing price to $999,500. Based on projected data for February, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract rose sharply year-over-year. In January 2026, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 53 days, compared to 1 days in January 2025. However, in recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be falling. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this February.
Fairfax offers residents a scenic, walkable community with abundant outdoor recreation, a thriving arts scene, and welcoming local shops and events.
Fairfax offers small-town scale with practical access to major job centers, trail networks, and daily amenities. Set along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, it sits within easy reach of San Rafael and Mill Valley, while maintaining its own distinct downtown and community services.
The compact town core is highly walkable, with markets, cafes, and live music venues clustered near Bolinas Road and Broadway. Residents enjoy a strong café culture, including local fixtures like Fairfax Coffee Roastery, along with restaurants, bike shops, and everyday services that make errands efficient without needing a long drive. The weekly Fairfax Farmers Market adds convenient access to fresh produce and prepared foods.
Outdoor access is a major draw. Trailheads to Marin Municipal Water District lands and the Camp Tamarancho mountain biking area start close to town, cutting down on weekend travel time. Nearby Point Reyes and Larkspur expand options for coastal hikes and ferry commutes.
Families and long-time residents value the strong public resources, including the local branch of the Marin County Free Library and access to regional schools. Whether you are weighing condo living near downtown or a hillside home above the valley, a local Fairfax real estate expert can explain micro-neighborhoods, commute patterns, and zoning, helping reduce stress for both buyers and sellers through every step of the move.

“Angelina Rantissi was very professional and knowledgeable. She guided me through the whole process seamlesly. She said at the very beginning that she was available at any time and not to hesitate to call. This was very important to me, as I live in Maryland and the 3 hour time difference could have been problematic. She helped me find handymen and movers. I highly recommend her. Thank you Angelina !”
“Jim was the first realtor we worked with who actually felt like he was on OUR team - he is very experienced, reliable and the right amount of proactive. Ultimately, Jim helped us buy our very favorite house we saw - and helped us actually get a deal and not overpay, which was important to us (and very hard to do in the bay area!). Throughout the process, Jim also proactively sent us listings which were a great match for what we were looking for. In terms of actually getting the transaction done, Jim is clearly extremely experienced and was very helpful and professional at every step. He is also hyper responsive and reliable, which we really appreciated, and even helped us close over the holidays. Thank you Jim!”
“Denise Montalvo was very understanding throughout the entire process. She was very prompt to answer any e-mails and phone calls, no matter how trivial. I was looking for some rather specific criteria that would be hard to check all the boxes. No house is perfect, but her guidance and understanding were immeasurably appreciated during the process. She is not a 'pushy' realtor and I felt no pressure to make an offer on a house that I was not comfortable with. Denise is well regarded by her peers and this made the 'negotiating' period productive. I will always appreciate her easy going manner and no pressure approach to buying a home.”
“Debra Morris was incredible. She did what it took to close the deal. I recommend her to anyone looking for property or a home.”
“I was completely lost, no idea how or what to do, Jimmy walked me through all of it and I am completly satisfied with the outcome”
“Lolli was by far the best agent we've ever had. Being in the military for 20 years, we've bought and sold 4 properties and this was easily the best experience we've ever had. I'd recommend Lolli to anyone buying or selling in the area. She was always accessible and had answers to all of our questions night and day. She explained things in a way that was easy to understand and made sure my wife and I were on the same page before proceeding every step of the way. She got us top dollar for our property and I know she worked for it!”
“She has patience and helped me navigate the new electronic world of real estate.”
“You recommended 2 agents, both of whom contacted me but Tyron did so within a few hours and we hit it off and he got the job. Thank you for the excellent recommendation!”
“Through Agent Pronto I was connected with an agent, Michael Pellegrini, who worked with us to buy a vacation property. I was pleased that the whole process was done in a professional manner.”
“Agent Pronto put us in touch with two knowledgeable, local agents. The agent we worked with was amazing, quickly honed in on what we were looking for, found us an ideal house, and guided us through the purchase process. Two months after first speaking we closed on the perfect place.”
“Efficient and non-intrusive service. They recommended an agent, Craig Ackerman, who got us our dream home after only 3 weeks, 4 house-viewings, and one offer later. We'd gone through 3 ineffective agents over a 4 month period before this, so it was much appreciated!”
“We just bought our first home. I had no idea where to find a realtor to work with. I'm so glad I found Agent Pronto. They put me in contact with Liliana who is amazing! I would highly recommend this service to anyone!”
“Agent Pronto got me to an agent quickly and the agent was great! My house sold quickly and had no problems whatsoever!”
“We could not have asked for a better realtor to sell our home. Jennifer was amazing!”
