Forest Hill real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Forest Hill real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Inventory in Forest Hill is relatively limited, with 24 homes available in March 2026 and 23 new listings coming to market. Contract activity is slower, as only 11 properties went under contract and pending sales are down 59.26% from last year, suggesting buyers are taking more time to move forward.
Pricing trends show some mixed signals, with the typical home value at $690,000, down 11.54% year over year but up 16.85% month over month. At the same time, the median list price slipped to $599,999, a 4.0% monthly decline, and homes are taking longer to sell than a month ago, with median days on market jumping 39.68% to 88 days.
Even with these shifts, Forest Hill is still classified as a Seller's Market, and sellers retain some leverage, reflected in an average sale-to-list ratio of about 1.04 and roughly 57% of homes selling above asking price. Compared with Newark overall, Forest Hill’s typical home value of $690,000 stands notably higher than the city’s $540,505, though Newark’s values have fallen faster year over year at 17.48%. Looking ahead to April 2026, forecasts point to a projected typical home value of $739,750, a projected median list price of $587,498, and inventory edging up to 26 homes, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from having Agent Pronto connect them with an experienced local agent to navigate these conditions.
