The Fife market right now
Fife has a typical home value of $559,000. That runs about 10% below the $618,000 median across the Pierce County cities we serve. Against all 50 cities we cover, it sits roughly 22% below the $715,500 midpoint, which is where most of our first-time buyers start.

Our read on Fife
Fife is shaped by the port and the freight economy around it, which supports steady local employment and a lot of industrial land. Residential inventory is modest and prices sit near the bottom of our Pierce County range. Highway proximity is the tradeoff, and it varies a lot by street.
