Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Inventory in Forreston has been tight in this rolling three-month view, with just 10 active listings and only 1.6 months of supply, even though supply has nearly doubled compared to a year ago. Contract activity has cooled year over year, as homes sold are down more than 30 percent and pending sales are down nearly 40 percent, yet roughly half of recent listings are still going off the market within two weeks and the median time to sell is only 18 days.
Pricing is responding in mixed ways to this combination of lean inventory and slower contract volume. Typical home values are up more than 20 percent from a year ago, while the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped a bit year over year to just under full asking, and the share of homes closing above list is holding roughly steady at one-third of sales.
Looking back through the historical data, Forreston has seen values rise sharply from the lower price points recorded in 2023, even as the number of sales has fluctuated from month to month. New listings are up more than 40 percent year over year in the current rolling three-month period, offering buyers more options without fully easing the seller’s market conditions. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting dynamics can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local real estate agent who understands the Forreston market.

“Kim was amazing. I reached out early to ask a bunch of questions and get some tips on what to do before listing. She kept in touch with me for weeks before I was finally ready to list. Once it went on the market she had it sold in 24 hours! From start to finish Kim was responsive and patient with all of my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell!”

“Nancy Silwa is an experienced realtor who knows her profession. She knows, and in fact lives in the area, where I was selling my house. This was a bonus as she really had a handle on the market. She walked with me every step of the way so that I understood the process. I was selling a home I had lived in for 43 years. Nancy understood the emotional impact of this decision and gently helped me stay focused on the task at hand: sell the house. She found the perfect buyers. A young couple who will make my house their home. Knowing this made selling my home a little easier. I would and indeed have recommended Nancy to others. She is simply THE BEST!”
