Fairfax Homes, Market Trends & more

Fairfax is the gateway to West Marin County. Located 16 miles north of San Francisco, Fairfax offers the best of both work and play, while retaining its small-town charm. Incorporated in 1931, the town of Fairfax shares its identity with a community of artists, musicians, writers and aging hippies. Although, soaring house prices have forced many to move elsewhere. Fairfax has an eclectic mix of small restaurants, bars, coffeehouses and boutiques. The nightlife scene is fairly happening, with restaurants and bars featuring live music in the small downtown stretch. Fairfax is ideal for outdoor lovers, and residents and visitors hike and bike its hills, lakes and lovely forested parks.

Fairfax is a community of enchanting neighborhoods nestled in the hills and valleys of the Upper Ross Valley. The area is a mix of architectures, but predominantly includes older brown-shingle homes. Fairfax home prices are on the low end for the county, and Fairfax offers a wide range of low-cost single-family homes and condominiums.

The average sold price in the Fairfax MLS for 2010 was $664,572 for a single-family home. Fairfax real estate prices have declined of late.
