Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).

Forest Hill’s rolling three-month snapshot through June 2026 shows inventory expanding and contracts stabilizing. Active listings are up compared with earlier this year, and there were 27 new listings during the period, while about 20 homes went under contract and 20 closed, indicating a steady but not overheated pace.

Pricing is adjusting as more homes come to market, with the typical home value down slightly year over year but the median list price up compared with last year. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago at a median of 78 days on market, and months of supply has climbed sharply over the past year to 4.3 months, signaling more options for shoppers even though conditions still lean toward sellers.

Compared with Newark as a whole, Forest Hill’s typical sale price trends a bit higher while offering relatively tighter supply than the citywide 5.9 months. Even with the added inventory and longer timelines, more than half of recent sales closed above asking price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just over 101 percent, showing that desirable homes still attract strong offers. Buyers who want to navigate this mixed environment and sellers who hope to price confidently can both benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a local agent who understands these trends.

“This is the second time I’ve worked with Matthew Tully to sell a home, and once again, he exceeded my expectations. Matthew is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. He developed an excellent pricing and marketing strategy that resulted in my house selling quickly and for above the asking price. Throughout the entire process, he kept me informed, answered all of my questions promptly, and made everything as smooth and stress-free as possible. His attention to detail, strong negotiation skills, and commitment to his clients truly set him apart. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Matthew Tully to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. The fact that I chose to work with him a second time speaks for itself. Thank you, Matthew, for another outstanding job!”

“Selling my condo felt overwhelming at first, but working with Tina Torres made the entire process smooth and successful from start to finish. 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!!”
