True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, 26 recorded sales closed at a median of $424,990, $166 per square foot, a median 63 days on market, sellers accepting 99% of original asking (-2% versus the prior year). At the median price and Douglas County's 2025 rate of 31.41 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,340.
Fairhaven's numbers point to a market that moves on condition and price positioning, not on amenity draw. With a median price just under $425,000 and a median price per square foot of $166.26, the spread between an updated, well-priced listing and a dated one is likely doing most of the work here. There is no clubhouse or pool package inflating the number — the value is in the house and the lot, plain and simple.
A median 63 days on market tells sellers to price at the market on day one rather than testing the top of it. For buyers, that same number is leverage: homes here are not moving fast enough to justify skipping inspections or waiving contingencies. The 28-day closing window we track shows current activity, but it is not a large enough sample to call a trend — treat any given week's pace as a snapshot, not a forecast.

Who Fairhaven is best for.
Best for
- Buying based on the home's condition and layout rather than a community amenity list.
- Taking time through inspection and financing without pressure from a fast-moving market.
- Comparing price per square foot closely across listings before making an offer.
Probably not for
- Expecting a clubhouse, pool, or organized common-area amenities as part of the purchase.
- Needing a guaranteed fast close inside a narrow timeline given the market's current pace.
- Assuming every listing at the median price reflects the same level of updating or condition.

The Fairhaven buying strategy.
If we were buying in Fairhaven today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Fairhaven.
What the numbers actually say about Fairhaven
At a median $166.26 per square foot, Fairhaven sits in a price band where finish level and square footage will move a valuation more than street or lot alone. Buyers comparing two listings here should expect the per-square-foot math to explain most of the price gap, and should ask what's behind that number — age of systems, kitchen and bath condition, and how much has been updated recently.
The median 63-day time on market is the more telling figure for negotiating posture. It is not a fire-sale pace, but it is not a bidding-war pace either. Sellers who price realistically against recent closings should still expect buyers to take their time on inspection and financing contingencies, and buyers should not assume they need to move same-day to compete.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Fairhaven. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
