Is Fayette County currently a buyer's or seller's market? The answer lies in the months of inventory metric, which calculates how long it would take to sell all current homes at the current sales pace. With 58 active listings and 34 closed sales over the trailing six-month period, the county sits at 10.2 months of inventory.
This figure places Fayette County firmly in buyer territory. A balanced market typically requires between four and six months of supply. Anything above that threshold favors buyers, as they face less competition and more negotiation leverage. The data shows a median close price of $299,000 across 34 sales, which is down 13.3% from the prior six-month period but up 4.9% compared to the same window last year.
Homes are taking longer to sell as well. The median days on market has risen to 72 days, a 41.2% increase compared to the same period in 2025. This extended timeline further supports the classification of a buyer's market, giving purchasers more time to evaluate options and negotiate terms.
ALEX Intelligence analyzes this inventory level alongside price trends to determine market conditions. With supply outpacing demand significantly, buyers in Fayette County are well-positioned to find value in the current landscape.
