The median living area across 34 closed sales dropped to 1,739 square feet, down from 1,860 square feet in the prior six-month window and below the 1,799 square feet recorded a year ago. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the rolling data to track how the physical footprint of sold homes is shifting over time. This contraction represents a 6.5% decrease compared to the previous period and a 3.3% decline year-over-year. While the median price per square foot remained flat at $175, the total square footage buyers are acquiring has decreased. The shift suggests a move toward more compact properties or a change in the mix of homes selling in the county. With 34 closed sales providing a solid sample for this Tier B analysis, the data indicates that while price per unit of space is stable, the overall size of the typical home sold in Fayette County is shrinking. This trend contrasts with the regional average living area of 2,026 square feet, highlighting a distinct local pattern where smaller homes are dominating the sales volume in the current market cycle.
