A slower market with vintage homes and fixer-uppers
The township has a unique collection of older homes, most dating to the 1930s. These properties will likely need cosmetic updates and a little TLC, but prices are generally lower in this remote locale. Fixer-uppers range from around $50,000 to $70,000, and a little fresh paint can go a long way here, with renovated properties selling for almost $150,000. Fairview Township owners tend to stay put, so listings aren't overabundant. "The market is up in the air because it's so removed," says Joan Sorce, Realtor at RE/MAX Select Realty. Properties can take up to two months to sell here.
