Homes are taking longer to move, though, with median days on market increasing 24.49% from the prior month to 61 days.

Typical home values are up 1.92% year over year, while homes now sit on the market 71.83% longer than a year ago, suggesting buyers have more time to make decisions. New listings dropped 30.77% compared with last year, yet pending sales rose 12.5%, pointing to solid demand even with fewer fresh options.
Inventory in February was relatively limited at 31 homes, though that was a 19.23% increase from the prior month, and projections suggest a slight rise to 33 listings in March. Roughly 13% of recent sales closed above the asking price, and the average sale-to-list ratio of about 0.99 aligns with the Seller's Market label for Forest Hills. Compared with Washington overall, Forest Hills has a lower typical home value than the city’s $594,500 level, but it is projected to grow to about $580,000 as the city’s projected value trends toward $566,750. Whether you plan to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with an agent who understands these local dynamics and can guide you through your next move.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
