Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Inventory in Forest Hill has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up more than 15% year over year and months of supply jumping to 6.8, well above Newark’s 5.5 months. At the same time, buyer activity has cooled, as homes sold are down more than a third from a year ago even though new listings have climbed by over 50%.
Pricing has stayed firm despite that looser balance between supply and demand, with the typical home value nearly 30% higher than a year earlier. Sellers are still achieving strong results, as about 73% of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits around 104%, both notably higher than last year.
Conditions on the ground are moving quickly, with median days on market shortening compared with a year ago and roughly 22% of homes going off the market within two weeks. With more options for shoppers but strong negotiation power still in the hands of well-prepared sellers, buyers and sellers in Forest Hill can both benefit from using Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands these shifting dynamics.

“Connie helped me find and buy a home when I relocated to Bridgewater, NJ. She really understood my wants and needs. She didn't just send autogenerated emails every day like many other realtors. Connie actively searched for homes for me and my kids. She was there every step of the way and even checked in after closing. I felt comfortable with Connie and knew I was in good hands.”

Her professionalism, knowledge, communication and dedication were truly outstanding. Tina was always available to answer questions, kept me informed every step of the way and worked incredibly hard to make sure everything stayed on track. Thanks to her expertise, my condo sold quickly and the Closing process went smoothly. What stood out the most was how much Tina genuinely cared about me as a client, not just about making a sale. I always felt supported, respected and confident that I was in the best hands possible. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Tina Torres to anyone buying or selling a home. She is truly one of the best realtors out there!!”
“I had the pleasure of having Jacqueline Greco as my real estate agent for both renting in Jersey city and Bayonne and for helping us buy our first home, the fact that we chose to work with her 3 times should speak volumes of how good of a job she's done for us, she was always available to discuss concerns and was very blunt about the places we visited with her, one thing that set her apart from other real estate agents we had in the past is how self motivated, diligent and efficient she is, she would always try to make our time worth it by booking the viewings as efficiently as possible, she navigated us through a very out of the ordinary sale, and she put us in contact with many professionals along the way. I would definitely work with her again if we need to sell our home or buy another”
