Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).

Fayette County home values have climbed over the past year, with the typical home value up about 12 percent. Homes sold also ticked higher compared with last year, while active listings posted a modest year-over-year increase. Months of supply edged up to 2.5, still pointing to a seller’s market but with a bit more breathing room than before.

In the latest August snapshot, the typical home value stood around $178,000, noticeably below the roughly $256,000 statewide figure in Iowa. Median days on market dropped to 32, falling nearly 30 percent from a year ago, which shows that properties are moving faster even as inventory grows.

Recent month-to-month changes highlight shifting dynamics for both pricing and activity. Median list prices fell sharply from July, yet pending sales jumped more than 40 percent year over year and new listings surged nearly 90 percent month over month, signaling strong engagement from buyers and sellers. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list price has trended down and the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped, suggesting buyers may have a bit more negotiating power. With Fayette County still leaning toward sellers but offering improving opportunities for buyers, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these local trends.



Learn more about what Fayette County has to offer.

Fayette County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with abundant outdoor recreation, strong schools, and a vibrant, family-friendly culture that values history and opportunity.

Fayette County feels distinctly its own compared with larger nearby hubs like Waterloo or Cedar Rapids. Life here moves with a measured pace, centered on small communities such as Oelwein, West Union, and Fayette, where neighbors often know one another and local events matter as much as regional headlines.

Outdoor recreation is a major part of daily life. Anglers and paddlers appreciate Volga River State Recreation Area, while hikers and cyclists use the TRAIL System in Oelwein to connect parks and neighborhoods. Families frequent Klock’s Island Park along the Turkey River, and local ballfields and playgrounds stay active from spring through fall.

Community identity runs strong through institutions like Upper Iowa University in Fayette and local schools highlighted by the North Fayette Valley Community School District. Weekend routines often include a stop at a local cafe, a library visit at the Oelwein Public Library, or a youth game at a town park.

Whether you already live in Fayette County or are weighing a move from nearby Decorah or Manchester, timing and preparation matter in this steady but competitive market. Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate professional who understands current conditions and can help both buyers and sellers move forward with confidence.

“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! 🏡❤️”

“I have bought and sold many homes over the years which means that I have worked with many agents over the years. Mallori is hands down the best realtor we have had the pleasure to partner with for buying/selling a home (we have bought 2 and sold 1 home with Mallori). Her attention to detail, her knowledge, her passion, her communication are all second to none. She is the best in the business. And, to top it all off, she is 'just good people.' She loves her family, she loves what she does for a living (most days LOL) and she is a joy to be around. We are incredibly grateful that we met her ~ 4 years ago and have had the pleasure of doing business with her mutltiple times now. We will use Mallori again when it is time to downsize from this home and on to the next smaller home. Thank you Mallori, we appreciate you!”

“Jess Jager was absolutely fantastic to work with throughout our home purchase. Since the property was over three hours away, she went above and beyond by driving there to do a detailed video walkthrough for us, which gave us the confidence to move forward before making the trip ourselves. She was always responsive, honest, and professional, and made the entire process smooth from start to finish. We truly appreciated her willingness to go the extra mile and her attention to detail. I would highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dedicated realtor. Thank you, Jess, for making our lake house purchase such a great experience!”

“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!”

“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!”

“To whom it my concern, It is our immense pleasure to recommend Viola Salvato as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home. Viola had an initial meeting with us regarding our specific needs in a home as well as our budgetary limits. She is highly talented and immediately found us numerous listings of homes. She did not waste our time with homes that were not in line with our needs. Viola is a master with contract negotiation she came up with a deal that was good for us as well as making the seller happy. She knows the area like the back of her hand and there is nothing that escapes her attention when it comes to properties for sale in this area. We found Viola to be a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were her only customers, although we know that was not the case. She returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. She also is highly personable with an engaging personality. She is hands down the best!”

“Dakotah was amazing to work with! Dakotah was referred to us by someone and we will continue to refer him to others. Knowledgeable about the Des Moines area and homes in the area. Always felt that Dakotah was looking out for us as first time home buyers and helped us explain the home buying process in great detail. When we do decide to sell our incredible home, we will surely work with Dakotah again!”

“Agent Pronto gave me Toni Delfs name to help us find a home. She was a real delight to work with. She listened to our needs and wants, as well as what we did not want. We found our home and Toni was there to help with the whole process. She answered questions and was a wonderful bridge to all the people we dealt with along the way. Toni is the perfect person to help you find your next home and she gets the highest of marks for all her hard work. Thank you, Toni!”

You never know with some of these free online services just who they will be connecting you with, and since home buying involves a great deal of money, it is imperative to find the right agent. Sam was exactly who I needed to help me along this journey. She's so immensely helpful, doesn't sugarcoat the facts, and is really your very own personal real estate champion. I couldn't be more impressed or happy with my experience.”
