What it means

Fayetteville is Fayette County's seat. Trilith Studios and its growing live-work village are reshaping the town's profile. Established neighborhoods still carry most of the volume.

Over the trailing 12 months, Fayetteville recorded 239 closed sales at a median price of $392,500. Median days on market: 49. That's about 7 weeks from list to contract, so buyers have room to compare and negotiate. The average close-to-list ratio was 94.8%, so the typical seller gave up about 5.2% between list and close. Since 2021, the annual median close price has moved from $330,000 to $385,500. That's up 17%. These figures come from the Terence Richardson Group's own FMLS closed-sales archive, refreshed monthly. It's the same data we price from.

TRG proprietary data

How often do listings fail to sell in Fayetteville?

57.8% of Fayetteville listings that left the market in the 12 months through September 2026 failed to sell: 327 withdrawn or expired against 239 closed.

That means nearly half of those listing attempts ended without a sale, after the prep, the showings, the waiting. Each relisting counts separately, so this measures attempts, not homes. Pricing and the first two weeks have a lot to do with which group a listing lands in, and it's the number listing agents almost never show you.
