Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Fairfax’s rolling three-month data through September 2026 shows notable shifts from a year ago. Typical home values are down year over year, while the median list price has moved higher, signaling some reset between seller expectations and closed prices. Homes sold have jumped more than 50 percent from last year’s period, even as active listings dipped slightly.
In the most recent three-month window, buyers are seeing a median sale price of about $320,000, with homes spending a median of 41 days on the market. Inventory sits at 2.1 months of supply, which aligns with its classification as a seller’s market. Only about 10 percent of homes sold above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent, suggesting fewer bidding wars than in some past years. With 27 active listings and 21 recent sales, conditions balance limited supply with steady demand.
Momentum within the period is mixed, with homes sold increasing month over month while new listings and pending sales have edged down. Median days on market are up sharply from early summer, pointing to a slower pace where buyers may have a bit more room to negotiate. At the same time, months of supply has ticked slightly higher from recent lows but remains lean by historical standards. Whether you are a buyer trying to interpret these shifts or a seller aiming to price correctly, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Fairfax real estate agent who understands this market in detail.

Many residents appreciate that they can commute quickly into the city, then return home to quieter streets, local parks, and familiar faces.
Life in Fairfax often centers around community events and outdoor time. Families gather at Fairfax City Park for ballgames, playground time, and summer activities. The nearby Cedar Valley Nature Trail gives walkers and cyclists a long stretch of scenic path that links Fairfax with other Linn County communities. Local schools within the College Community School District draw many buyers who want a stable educational setting without leaving the metro area.
Residents also rely on amenities in surrounding communities, from shopping and dining in Cedar Rapids to events at Linn County parks and cultural venues. At the same time, Fairfax keeps its own sense of identity through volunteer groups, youth sports, and long‑time local businesses. City information and services are easily accessed through the City of Fairfax website, which highlights ongoing projects and improvements.

Hometown Realty
“Hands down the best realtor I've ever worked with. Matt truly cares that his clients find what they're actually looking for, not just closing a sale. On the buying side, he was great at pointing out concerning items during showings, and he was especially valuable during our blue tape walkthrough on our new house. He was clearly on our side the whole time and helped keep communication with the builder clear and moving. He also did a fantastic job selling our previous home. Matt is professional, respectful, and genuinely easy to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone buying or selling, and we'll be calling him again next time.”
Berkshire Hathaway Iowa Realty Mills Crossing
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. From the very beginning, I felt like I was working with someone who genuinely cared about me and what I was looking for—not just someone trying to close a deal. Isaiah was always there when I had questions, he kept me informed throughout the process, and made me feel comfortable even when things got stressful. I really appreciated his patience, honesty, and willingness to go the extra mile. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but having the right person by your side makes such a difference. I’m so grateful for all their help and for making the whole experience such a positive one. I would absolutely recommend Isaiah Thomas to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! 🏡❤️”

“Mike did an excellent job helping us with the purchase of our home. The process was made smooth and easy with his experience and professionalism. He was understanding and made sure we knew and understood all of the steps being taken.”
Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate Good Life Group
“Matt was excellent throughout the entire process of helping me buy my duplex. He made the transaction incredibly smooth, took the time to walk me through every step, and was always available to answer my questions. I always felt confident knowing he was there to guide me from start to finish. What impressed me most was that his commitment didn't end after closing. I initially hired a property management company to lease the duplex, but after several months they were unable to find tenants. I reached out to Matt, and he had the property leased within a week. That really showed me how knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated he is. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.”

“Daniel Wandling was amazing to work with, especially when it came to helping my parents find the right home. What really stood out was his ability to find an off-market property that we wouldn’t have found on our own. That made a huge difference and gave us an opportunity we didn’t even know existed. He was very professional, responsive, and made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. He always took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we felt confident in every decision. You can tell he truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to help them. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”

“We were really pleased with Joe Hoagland's service. He responded quickly with any questions, made time in his schedule to show various homes when we were in Omaha. Joe even FaceTimed with us, at times when we could not be in Omaha, to show us homes we were interested in. He met with our daughter and son to view homes and FaceTimed with us. Joe was also very honest with us. Often times, he noticed little imperfections that were not obvious to us. He advised us on offering prices. Joe was the exact type of realtor for us! He was a pleasure to work with!”
Berkshire Hathaway Ambassador Real Estate
“As a first time buyer, I was nervous of what to expect from a realtor. Rob absolutely exceeded my expectations of real estate agents— from the first day we met I could tell he genuinely cared about the state of the homes we looked at. He got me an awesome basket of gifts on closing day filled with home essentials. Thank you Rob! You’re excellent!”

“Luann, is great to work with very friendly. She made me feel comfortable and helped with each step easy. If you need a house fast go with her as she knows Waterloo very well in what areas are the best to purchase. Her office space is beautiful as well and we closed at her office. She will make you feel like a friend of hers and wants what is best for you and your home. Reach out to her for any buying or purchasing needs.”
Realty ONE Group Movement
“Lacie was amazing throughout the whole buying experience as a first-time home owner. She made every effort to keep me informed during our buying process and shown her expertise when any questions arose. When there were some questions she couldn't answer she was able to defer me to the appriorate subject-matter expert whether it was an electrician for electrical questions/work to inspection questions. She was absolutely fantastic to work with and would highly recommend her to friends and family that are looking to buy/sell now and later! Thank you Lacie Shelby for working with my partner and I. Thank you even more for making our first home purchase worth it!”
