Fayette County Seasonality: Best Month to List?

What month delivers the highest prices in Fayette County? A seasonal decomposition of monthly data reveals a distinct pattern where late spring and early summer historically outperform other periods. ALEX Intelligence analyzed closed sales from October 2024 through September 2026 to identify the optimal listing window. The data shows that March consistently delivers peak median prices, reaching $365,000 in March 2025 across 8 sales. This represents a 21.7% increase over the prior month and marks the highest single-month median price observed in the two-year window. The spring surge is followed by a sharp decline in late summer. September 2026 saw the lowest median price of the period at $185,500 across just three sales, a drop of 34.7% from August. While October 2025 showed a strong recovery with a median of $310,700, the volatility remains high due to low sample sizes in many months. For sellers, the data suggests targeting March or July for maximum price potential, though July prices ($370,075) were achieved with only 8 sales. Buyers may find better leverage during the late summer slump, particularly in September and October, when median prices historically dip to ranges between $185,500 and $290,000. The current market shows a median price of $299,000 across 34 closed sales in the rolling six months ending September 2026. This figure is 13.3% lower than the prior six-month period but remains 4.9% higher than the same window last year. The seasonal trend indicates that timing your listing can significantly impact the final sale price, with spring offering the most consistent premium. Want these numbers for your street?
