Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Fairmont currently leans toward buyers, with the market gauge signaling a buyer's market. Months of supply has climbed to 3.9 in this rolling three-month view, more than tripling year over year. Homes are also taking longer to sell, with median days on market up to 64, a 36 percent increase from a year ago.
Behind that buyer-friendly reading is a notable shift in supply and demand dynamics. Pending sales have fallen sharply, down more than 80 percent year over year, while homes sold have been essentially flat over the same period, indicating slower buyer activity even as more inventory lingers. At the same time, typical home values are still about 11 percent higher than a year ago and the share of homes selling above list price has jumped to 80 percent, showing that well-priced properties can still attract strong offers.
Listing activity has cooled, with new listings down nearly 30 percent from a year earlier and active listings down slightly, which can limit choices despite the overall buyer tilt. Median list prices in this rolling three-month period are up roughly 14 percent year over year, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just above 100 percent, suggesting sellers who do close are often achieving close to their asking price. In a market where leverage is shifting but prices and selling patterns remain nuanced, both buyers and sellers in Fairmont can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help finding an experienced local agent to guide their decisions.
Fairmont offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with well-maintained parks, quality schools, convenient local businesses, and ample opportunities to connect through neighborhood events.
Fairmont stands apart from nearby Joliet and Lockport with a quieter, close-knit feel and a distinctly residential character that appeals to long‑time locals and new arrivals alike. Many residents appreciate Fairmont’s position near major corridors and employment hubs while still feeling removed from heavier traffic and commercial congestion.
Everyday life here centers on community spaces and nearby amenities. Families often spend time at local parks and playgrounds, and larger destinations such as Joliet Park District facilities and Rock Run Preserve are a short drive away. Shopping and dining options in nearby Joliet and Lockport give residents access to groceries, restaurants, and services without sacrificing Fairmont’s quieter streets.
Education is an important part of local identity. Area students are served by Fairmont School District 89, which operates Fairmont School, and older students typically attend Lockport Township High School. For commuters, proximity to Metra’s Heritage Corridor stations in Lockport and Joliet, along with access to I‑355 and I‑80, makes regional travel manageable.
Whether you already call Fairmont home or are considering a move, timing and preparation are crucial in this evolving market. An experienced local agent can help buyers move quickly when the right property appears and guide sellers on pricing, presentation, and strategy. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers in Fairmont with agents who understand the community and its opportunities.

She has been looking for the perfect house for my daughter and husband and their family for about 2 years now as they had certain requirements for a new house and a certain area they wanted to live in also. Nicole was persistent and she finally found the perfect home for them and the purchase all went quickly, smoothly and was a great experience overall. Thanks to Nicole Canny and now she will be able to sell their old house also.”
“Katie is very knowledgeable, thorough and kind. She worked very diligently with me to find an apartment/condo to rent! She was able to give me recommendations that I would not have found or considered on my own. I could not have asked for a better agent to work with! I have lived in a house for 30 years and really had no idea what to look for when choosing and apartment or condo. She helped me find the perfect new home, a lovely condo for rent!! Katie stayed on top of everything from setting up appointments to following through with my new landlady. She is intelligent, hardworking sweet and thoughtful. I highly recommend her to anyone renting or buying!!”
“We had such a great experience working with Victoria and Sam! They were always quick to respond whenever we sent a home we were interested in or had questions. They were willing to go on as many tours as it took to help us find the right fit and were honest about steering us away from homes with structural concerns. It was clear they genuinely had our best interests at heart and wanted us to find a home we’d love. They’re also both funny and easy to get along with, which made the entire process that much more enjoyable. We couldn’t recommend them enough!”

“Working with Mr. Haroon Masood has been an exceptional experience from beginning to end. He successfully sold my townhome within the first week, and his dedication didn’t stop there—he also helped us find our next home with the same level of commitment and professionalism. Haroon was always quick to respond to my calls and questions, no matter the time. He consistently made himself available, scheduled showings efficiently, and offered honest, thoughtful advice throughout the process. His communication was clear, respectful, and reassuring, which made every step feel smooth and manageable. What truly stands out is Haroon’s character. He is honest, helpful, kind, and respectful—qualities that make a huge difference when navigating real estate decisions.

I truly appreciate his patience, honesty, and dedication. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a house.”
“Laura is hard working, dedicated, and responsive. She understood the challenges of a cash-only sale and made things happen that would have been dropped by less motivated realtors. As my listing agent she closed a sale on a property that was very difficult to sell at a sales price that other realtors balked at. She earned every penny of her commission. Hire her! You won’t regret it.”
“Honestly Ariel is an amazing realtor. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to answer all my random questions as a first time homeowner. She clearly explained the process, was patient when looking at a variety of homes over a year, and was a huge help. 10/10 Recommend!”
“Rebecca is incredible. When we first bought our house we had to do it from six hundred miles away, and she was able to provide essential local knowledge and walk us through every step of our first home purchase. She cares a lot about educating her clients about the real estate market and teaching them how to evaluate a house. She seems to magically know anything and everything about a property when showing it, even if we were looking at more than half a dozen houses that day (which we did more than once because our visits to the area were so infrequent when we were trying to buy.) When problems arose it was a Godsend to have her on our side to work everything out for us and make sure we got everything we were supposed to and didn't get taken advantage of at any point. She includes many extras that make both the buying and selling experience better. We loved Rebecca so much that when we had to sell that home two years later because our work took us elsewhere, there was no other agent we'd have been willing to work with. We thought we would take a horrendous loss after moving again so soon, but she helped us navigate a quick sale at an excellent price, and once again she was able to help us from a distance when things went wrong—this time from over two thousand miles away, since we had already moved. We would work only with her for the rest of our lives if we could, but since we can't have that we decided not to work with another agent unless he/she'd been vetted by Rebecca for us.”
“Frank was professional and timely. He kept us in the loop of any offers and issues. We have worked with him for 3 house sales and 2 house purchases. I would highly recommend him to anyone.”
“I highly recommend Jason as a realtor! He was professional, honest, trustworthy, and truly made the process of selling my home feel smooth and stress-free. He was always responsive, knowledgeable, and had my best interests in mind throughout the entire process. I felt confident knowing I was in good hands. Thank you, Jason, for your hard work and professionalism!”
“Angie and Meggan were outstanding. While I found my situation challenging, they handled it it with such ease and professionalism! My husband got a job opportunity out of state and he had to relocate ahead of me. We had been in our home for nearly 20 years and were completely unprepared to move. To complicate things further it was October and I had surgeries scheduled. Well, Angie and Meggan were patient, understanding and so very helpful throughout the entire process. They gave me guidance on what to focus on, resources to use and onsite support when I couldn’t be there. They were just phenomenal! My house sold in 9 days with their expertise!”
“I have had the pleasure of working with Justina on a variety of properties, including both income-producing and residential real estate. I can say in full confidence that her professionalism and etiquette is profound as she handles every detail with care. Justina truly sees you through every step of the process to ensure a smooth and stress free transition. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and dedicated real estate professional.”
