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

Inventory in University Heights is moderate, with 37 active listings in this rolling three-month view. Months of supply has nearly doubled year over year to about 4.1 months, indicating more options than a year ago but still leaning toward sellers overall. Even with that increase in supply, pending sales are up sharply from last year, suggesting strong buyer interest and steady contract activity.

Pricing has been edging higher alongside that demand. The typical home value is up nearly 5 percent compared with a year ago, and the median list price has climbed by almost 12 percent over the same period. Sellers are often achieving premiums, with about two-thirds of recent sales closing above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio near 106 percent.

Homes are moving through the market more quickly than they did a year ago, with median days on market down by almost half to around two months. Compared with the broader Newark market, University Heights has lower typical sale prices but a tighter level of supply, reinforcing its current seller’s market designation. Yet the number of homes sold in this rolling period is down year over year, showing that buyers face fewer completed transactions to choose from even as more properties come to market. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these crosscurrents can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands this neighborhood’s dynamics.

“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!!”
