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

Inventory in Forest Hill has thinned in this rolling three‑month view, with active listings down nearly a third year over year to 37 and new listings off by about a third as well. Even with fewer homes coming to market, sales volume has cooled, as homes sold and pending sales are each down by roughly one‑third to more than one‑half compared with a year ago.

Pricing is adjusting to this slower contract flow, with the typical home value down almost 18 percent year over year and the median list price running about 7 percent lower. Despite softer prices, sellers are still getting very close to asking, as the average sale‑to‑list ratio hovers just above 101 percent and more than two in five sales close above list.

Conditions have shifted toward a more balanced environment, with months of supply climbing to 6.4 in Forest Hill compared with 5.9 across Newark as a whole. Homes are taking a median of 57 days to go under contract, giving buyers a bit more time to make decisions while still rewarding well‑priced listings that move quickly. Whether you are a buyer trying to interpret these changing dynamics or a seller aiming to price strategically, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands this market and can guide you through your next move.

“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!!”
