Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Year over year, Forest Hills-Woodbourne home values have eased while activity has picked up. The typical home value over the latest rolling three-month period is down about 8 percent from a year ago, and median list prices are roughly 6 percent lower. At the same time, homes sold, new listings, and pending sales have all risen strongly compared with last year’s rolling three-month window, pointing to a busier market despite softer prices.
Looking at the most recent rolling three months ending in May 2026, buyers are seeing more options and faster movement. Active listings are up nearly 49 percent from a year earlier, while new listings have climbed about 48 percent, expanding choices in the neighborhood. Homes are spending around 20 days on the market in the current period, far longer than a year ago but much quicker than the winter peak, and roughly 56 percent of recent sales closed above the asking price with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 103 percent.
Supply conditions help explain the pace of sales, with about 2.4 months of inventory locally compared with 5.4 months across Boston as a whole, supporting Forest Hills-Woodbourne’s seller’s market designation. Deals percolate quickly, with roughly 60 percent of homes going off market within two weeks, yet the recent pullback in prices offers negotiating room for some buyers. Whether you are aiming to secure top dollar as a seller or trying to navigate the fast-moving options as a buyer, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands this market’s nuances.
Forest Hills-Woodbourne offers residents a welcoming, vibrant community with abundant green spaces, convenient transit, and a range of local amenities that support a high quality of life.
Forest Hills-Woodbourne offers a quieter, leafier feel than nearby Jamaica Plain and Mission Hill, while still keeping you closely connected to the city. Centered around the Forest Hills MBTA station, the neighborhood gives residents an easy Orange Line and commuter rail link to downtown, yet streets quickly shift to tree-lined blocks of triple-deckers, classic colonials, and well-kept multifamily homes.
Outdoor access is a defining feature. The southwest gateway to the Arnold Arboretum sits just up the road, and the trails and fields of Franklin Park provide room to run, bike, or enjoy the Franklin Park Zoo. Nearby Forest Hills Cemetery doubles as a historic landscape, drawing walkers and history enthusiasts. Daily routines are supported by local spots around Forest Hills, from casual cafes to neighborhood markets, with Roslindale and Hyde Park close for additional dining and shopping.
Families often appreciate access to schools in West Roxbury and surrounding areas, while commuters value being minutes from Downtown without feeling engulfed by it. Whether you are weighing a condo near transit or selling a long-held single-family on a side street, timing and preparation matter in this evolving pocket of the city. Agent Pronto can connect you with a local Forest Hills-Woodbourne real estate expert who understands current conditions and can guide both buyers and sellers through a well-planned move.

“Sarah Rodewald was excellent, especially with being a first time home buyer. She was friendly and responsive when I had questions or concerns. Sarah was a strong advocate for me during negotiations to secure a fair price and credits towards closing. I would highly recommend Sarah for anyone looking for a dedicated expert agent.”
“Len went above and beyond during the whole process of selling my mother's home. He was kind, considerate, compassionate and extremely helpful, during an especially stressful time. I would definitely recommend him without hesitation.”
“I can't thank John Dean enough for handing the sale of my home. John's knowledge of the industry and the area was exceptional. He kept me informed of all the issues and guided me with decisions that had to be made. He offered to make several trips to the house to meet and coordinate the inspections and other people that assisted me with the move. Not being available to make it to the property for various reasons being the distance and caring for a disabled husband, John saved me from having to be there. John was there to manage everything for me. If you need a professional agent, look no further than John Dean.”
“I interviewed several Realtors, and none of them asked the thoughtful questions that Katherine did to better understand my needs. She also demonstrated a deep knowledge of the Boston program I was using for financing, and her years of experience working in and around Boston was key. But more than anything else, we got along really well in our initial meeting and she had my full trust almost as soon as the process began.”
“He was honest enough to direct us away from one of the homes that we looked at because of the horrible basement there. He also showed us at least 5+ homes before we settled on the one we're living in now.”
“Can't recommend Smita enough - she is extremely knowledgeable, is well aware of the ins and outs of the local market, and will always guide you towards the best decision based on your requirements. Smita played a huge role in helping me and my wife find our dream home. Being first-time homeowners, we didn't know where to start, but Smita did great due diligence researching individual properties and analyzing local market trends. Before we went to see a property, we had all the links and documents we needed to learn about the property which was immensely helpful in making an informed decision. Smita was always available for us which made the whole process very smooth for us. My wife and I highly recommend Smita and would to work with her again.”
“I was recommended by a friend to call Kerry Lapiana with Prestige Homes. I am so glad I did. Kerry went up and beyond from the beginning until the end. She was always available with any questions I had and she made the offer process so easy. It didn't end there. She even took time after I closed to ask me how it was going if I needed anything additional. She went up and beyond every step of the way. I would highly recommend Kerry Lapiana and Prestige Homes to friends, family and colleagues.”
“Jason answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with Jason made it as painless and straightforward as possible. Jason exceeded any and all of my expectations.
