ZIP 35967 (Fort Payne, AL) Housing Market Update — February 22, 2026
35967 – February 22, 2026 – Fort Payne-area prices look mixed across dashboards; inventory is active and homes are taking longer to sell this winter.
ZIP 35967 (Fort Payne-area) is showing a slower, more negotiable winter market vibe: prices depend on which dashboard you use, inventory is active, and homes are taking around 2–3 months to move.
Top takeaways
- Closed-sale pricing looks modestly higher year over year on Redfin (Dec 2025), but Zillow’s value index is slightly down over the past year.
- Inventory is not scarce: dashboards show dozens of active listings (from about 60 on one portal’s inventory metric to 100+ on another), giving buyers choices.
- Time-to-sell is still on the longer side (roughly ~80–90 days), so clean, well-priced homes tend to separate from the pack.
Market snapshot (past 30 days of dashboards)
Sales + pricing: Redfin pegs the most recent monthly median sale price around $224K (Dec 2025) with a small year-over-year gain, while Realtor.com’s ZIP dashboard shows a median sale price closer to $240K. Zillow’s Home Value Index (through Jan 31, 2026) puts the typical home value near $185.9K, down slightly year over year. Different data sources track different slices of the market (and not every home sells through the same channels), so treat the exact number as a range rather than a single ‘true’ price.
Inventory + pace: Zillow’s ZIP page currently shows 80+ for-sale results, while Realtor.com’s market view shows 100+ homes for sale. Days on market is hovering around the low-to-mid 80s on the bigger dashboards, which usually means buyers have time for inspections and negotiations (especially on homes that have been sitting).
