Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Fairhaven real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Inventory in Fairhaven is relatively lean, with 21 homes on the market and no month-over-month change. New listing activity is modest, with 7 homes recently added, and buyers placed 10 properties under contract. This slower contract flow compared with last year, alongside a 37.5% drop in pending sales and a 30.0% decline in new listings year over year, points to a calmer pace.
Pricing is adjusting to that softer activity. The typical home value sits at $502,500, only 0.5% higher than a year ago but down 11.45% from the prior month, and is projected to ease to about $470,000 next month as the projected median list price dips toward $360,000. Despite this reset, values are still close to Bristol County’s $510,000 typical value, and the market’s 4.2 months of supply and 71 median days on market show that homes are taking significantly longer to sell than a year ago, with days on market up more than 170% month over month.
Even with slower movement, sellers still hold an edge, as indicated by the seller’s market gauge and an average sale-to-list ratio of about 101.8%. Four in ten homes are still selling above the asking price, though about 14% of listings have price drops, illustrating how carefully buyers are watching value. Whether someone wants to list a property in this changing environment or navigate shifting prices as a buyer, Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with a local Fairhaven agent who understands these trends.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Fairhaven offers residents a welcoming, family-friendly coastal community with rich history, vibrant local culture, easy outdoor recreation, and a strong sense of neighborhood pride.
Fairhaven offers a distinct mix of working waterfront, historic character, and small‑town scale that feels different from nearby New Bedford or Dartmouth. The town’s center is anchored by Henry H. Rogers–funded landmarks like Town Hall and the Millicent Library, giving everyday errands an almost collegiate backdrop. Along the harbor, fishing vessels and pleasure boats share the same channel, creating a coastal setting that is active without feeling touristy.
Residents enjoy easy access to outdoor spaces, from Fort Phoenix State Reservation with its harbor views and beach, to local favorites like Livesey Park and the Phoenix Bike Trail. Families value the Fairhaven Public Schools system and community events such as outdoor concerts and seasonal fairs that keep the town feeling closely connected.
Housing options range from classic captain’s homes near the center to quieter subdivisions and coastal neighborhoods, which gives both first‑time buyers and long‑time residents a range of choices. With continued interest in coastal communities across Bristol County, understanding Fairhaven’s micro‑markets, flood zones, and historic districts is increasingly important.
Whether you are relocating to Fairhaven for its shoreline and village feel, or considering selling to move within town, timing and preparation can make a real difference in your results. Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate professional who understands Fairhaven’s nuances and can guide both buyers and sellers with confidence.

“Farrah worked with us for several months. She helped us to understand what to look out for when we viewed properties and was tenacious getting information to help us make good decisions. She was very thorough, knowledgeable, and patient. She organised viewings to make good use of our time and collaborated very effectively with our closing attorney. Farrah worked hard to make the house buying process as straightforward as possible and we highly recommend her.”
“Adam sold us our first home 23 years ago so we immediately thought of him for the sale of my mother's home. He was communicative, very knowledgeable and as an aside, very kind working with my mother who had recently been diagnosed with Alzheimers.”
“My agent was Susan Whitehead. I have sold a number of houses in my 77-year life. I found that Susan is the best agent I have ever had. My wife and I sincerely appreciate her tireless help. We are so impressed with her professionalism and hard working. Our house was sold much quicker than we expected. Susan guided us through every step in the tedious selling process. In the process, Sharon was also helping us a lot. Elizabeth was a great manager for this sales project and was the key helper for this sale. Thank you, Susan, Sharon, and Elizabeth! Thank you SRG!”
“Brad was always very professional and always took the time to explain things to us. He knew how critical it was for me to sell my house in North Providence in order for us to buy our new home in Westport Massachusetts. He made it a smooth and easy process when most of the time it can be a stressful situation to deal with but because we had Brad we always felt like we were in good hands and we knew we were.”
“Tracey is very knowledgeable and guided us through the process. She coordinated all the sales documents and helped out by letting the various groups into the home. We were especially pleased with her efforts and communication to us.”
“The first day I met Carol to show her the house, she spent a good deal of time checking it out and gave me many tips for improvement, which is exactly what I needed. The listing to closing period was about thirty days, which was also important to me since we were approaching winter, and I did not want to worry about freezing pipes in an empty house. Carol took care of all the important deadline dates. She was personable, competent, and professional in everything she did to sell my house. I did not have any worries due to my confidence in Carol. If I had another house to list, I would call her back tomorrow!”
“He was honest enough to direct us away from one of the homes that we looked at because of the horrible basement there. He also showed us at least 5+ homes before we settled on the one we're living in now.”
“I'm very happy with Meaghan,, she was great from day one.. she's an asset to your company and would not hesitate to refer her to friends or family... she's very accessible and has a pleasant personality Again I could not be any more happy than with Meaghan... I feel lucky she reached out to me... if I ever need Century 21 services again I would reach out to Meaghan”
“Ana went above and beyond are expectations!!! She responded to our questions and dealt with any issue that arose with professionalism. Ana was with us every step of the way. Professional and became our friend caring about us. She know the market and area she sells in.”
“Lori Lincoln was top notch in every aspect of our dealings as she helped us sell a parent's home. She was incredibly helpful in making contractor recommendations, entertaining our thoughts about pricing, lawyer referrals, the list goes on. On top of that, Lori was extremely kind in dealing with our family and having a compassionate understanding of the challenges when moving an elderly parent. Can't say enough about Lori and her total care for us in the selling process. Would highly recommend her for anyone looking for an exceptional, professional realtor experience.”
“From the minute we asked Jodi Donovan to be our buyer’s agent, all the way through closing on the best possible house in our price range, we were grateful to work with Jodi. Her knowledgeability, her responsiveness, her professionalism, and her willingness to go above and beyond gave us peace of mind during one of life’s most stressful events. At every stage of the process, Jodi demonstrated her fierce commitment to advocating for our family and protecting our interests. She is where passion and ability meet. I trust her completely and will hire her for all my future real estate needs. I will continue to highly recommend Jodi Donovan to everyone who tells me they’re moving.”

She made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process and she get to see first hand some of the headaches I had with the tenants at the building. She was everything and more...highly recommend!!!”
