What This Means for You

Fairfax continues to see strong demand for small parcels, with pricing in the 0–5 acre category more than doubling over the past five years. The $1.02M median sale price in Q2 2025 represents a 39% year-over-year increase, driven by constrained supply and a premium on development-ready locations.

While prices remain strong, signs of a shift in buyer behavior are emerging. Average days on market doubled this quarter, and the sale-to-list price ratio dropped by 4.2 points, suggesting buyers are negotiating more assertively. For sellers, this means timing and pricing strategy are more critical than ever.

With 92% of transactions concentrated in the 0–5 acre segment, any disruptions in this category could have outsized effects on the broader market. However, the persistent shortage of well-located small lots continues to support values. Investors and developers should monitor regulatory shifts and capitalize on strategic acquisition opportunities while liquidity remains.
