Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory in Forreston looks very different in this rolling three-month view than it did a year ago, with active listings down roughly half while months of supply has surged to about 9.6 months. Contract activity is modest, as only one home sold in the latest period and rolling three-month sales are down sharply year over year even though pending sales are roughly flat.
Pricing has softened on closed deals, with the typical home value down more than 15% from a year ago, while the median list price is up strongly year over year. Sellers are generally needing to discount, as the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped to around 91% and no recent sales closed above asking.
Days on market have shortened to about three weeks in the latest rolling period compared with much longer marketing times at various points over the past year, suggesting reasonably quick movement when homes are priced right. With only five active listings and three new listings entering the market in the recent three-month window, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent to navigate these shifting conditions and make confident decisions.
