Market Heat
Price in Fairview is driven almost entirely by condition and vintage, not by a tidy band of comparable homes. With a median year built of 1961 and stock stretching from 1922 all the way to 2023, you are looking at a genuinely mixed inventory where a renovated home and a project can sit on the same block. The median sits at $217,450 at roughly $159 per square foot, but that single figure hides a wide spread — what you actually pay depends on how much work the house needs.
The current posture is a buyer's one, at least on paper. Prices are down 31.4% year over year, and while the market heat score of 60 says demand hasn't disappeared, that kind of drop rewards patience. Homes are still moving in about 24.5 days, so the well-priced, move-in-ready listings don't linger. Sellers here need to price to condition honestly; buyers should underwrite each home on its own merits rather than the neighborhood average.

🟡 Balanced market. 4.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of July 14, 2026. Confidence: Low (1 active and pending listings, 4 closed sales in 12 months).
🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($217K) is down 31.4% from the prior 12 months ($317K). With about 4 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending July 14.

The 60-Second Overview
Fairview market snapshot (as of July 14, 2026): the median sale price is about $217K ($159 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 25 days on market for closed sales, and 4.0 months of supply, a balanced market. The trailing-12-month median is down 31% from the prior 12 months, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (4 closings in the current window).
Fairview is a community of 219 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1922 and 2023 (median 1961), with a median living area of about 1,905 square feet. 68% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Fairview is an older, established pocket of Jacksonville where a century of building has produced a genuinely varied housing stock, and where a homestead share near 69% points to a base of long-term owner-occupants rather than a churn of quick flips.

Who Fairview is best for.
Best for
- Buyers with a renovation budget who can price in the work an older home needs
- Long-hold owner-occupants drawn to an established, mixed-vintage neighborhood
- Value-focused buyers willing to use current market leverage and negotiate on condition
Probably not for
- Buyers who need a new or near-new home with modern systems out of the box
- Short-term buyers uneasy with a market showing a sharp year-over-year price decline
- Anyone wanting uniform, easily-comparable pricing rather than case-by-case underwriting
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 14 of each year, from record-level realMLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($217K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($317K) IS the -31.4% one-year change.
Windows contain 0 to 8 sales each (4 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Source: Data provided by realMLS. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

The Fairview buying strategy.
If we were buying in Fairview 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 Fairview.
Reading a mixed-vintage market
The headline number to sit with is the year-built range: 1922 to 2023, with the midpoint at 1961. That tells you the median home is over sixty years old, and inspection findings — roof, systems, foundation, older wiring and plumbing — will matter more here than in a uniform subdivision. The median living area of about 1,905 square feet is generous for the price, but square footage in older homes says little about how it will appraise or inspect.
The 31.4% year-over-year move is the number to respect on both sides of the table. For a buyer, it argues for leverage and a hard look at recent closings rather than list prices. For a seller, it argues for pricing to today's reality; the 24.5-day median days-on-market shows correctly priced homes still transact, but only a small closings window (4) underlies these figures, so treat the medians as directional, not precise.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Fairview. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Fairview buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 4 factors (4.9). Basis: Recent Direction -31.4% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 4.0 months of supply; Owner Commitment 68% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 94.9% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this condition-driven and this thin on closings, the median alone will mislead you. We underwrite each home individually — vintage, systems, and the real comparable set — so buyers don't overpay for a project and sellers don't leave money on a renovated home. That granular read matters more in Fairview than in a cookie-cutter community.
