Located off Major Drive in the westend of Beaumont is where you find Fairfield. Its an upscale neighborhood with prices starting in the low $200's.
You'll find luxury amenities adorning the homes interiors. Granite counter- tops, hardwood floors, jetted tubs, gourmet kitchens and exposed brick interior walls are common features the builders are putting in the new homes.
Another positive about Fairfield are the schools. If you want to see the BISD attendance zone for any street in the neighborhood you can type in the address. Westbrook High School, Marshall Middle, and Regina Howell Elementary are some of the most popular schools in town.
The real test of the desirability of a neighbor is the most recent sales history. So here's what we find in Fairfield so far in 2009. There are seven homes listed for sale in the MLS. There are two pendings as of today. Five homes have closed since Jan. 1, 2009. The average days on the market for active listings is 173. That's a little more than the MLS average which is about 100. If you like to see your data in a chart, here's one to glance over.

Home buyers you can find new construction and buy a brand new home in Fairfield or you can find a gently used resale. With five sales and two pendings in the past six months, and seven homes currently for sale, there is about a six month supply of inventory. That's a neutral market. There are some builders a little anxious to sell some standing inventory so home buyers are in a good position to get a better deal than in the past. In Beaumont builders normally don't negotiate on the price of their homes. With the economy moving a little slower- even here in the Golden Triangle - some builders are accepting offers. A few are even assisting with closing costs right now.
Its a great time to buy a home. Fairfield's a great neighborhood. If you want more information on Fairfield or any other neighborhood in Southeast Texas call me. I'll be glad to share our current market snap with you to help you make the best home buying decision.
