Fayette County: 8.7 Months of Inventory Signals Buyer Market
By George Arnold Alexander III, MPA · Associate Broker · 2026-10-06
Fayette County currently holds 8.68 months of inventory based on the pace of 38 closed sales over the last six months. This metric indicates a buyer's market, where supply exceeds demand and buyers have more negotiating power than sellers.
The median home price in Fayette County stands at $290,000 across these 38 transactions, down 15.9% from the prior six-month period. Homes are spending a median of 74 days on the market, which is 32.1% fewer days than the previous window but still 29.8% longer than the same period last year.
ALEX Intelligence calculates months of inventory by dividing active listings by the monthly sales rate. A reading above six months typically favors buyers, while below four months favors sellers. With 55 active listings today and a steady pace of closings, the market remains balanced toward the buyer side.
The median price per square foot is $169, down 14.6% from the prior period. Sellers are accepting offers at 89.7% of their original list price, a slight improvement over the prior window but still below the 91.5% seen last year. This suggests that while competition has eased slightly compared to the previous six months, pricing pressure remains for sellers in this rural county.
