“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!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Inventory in University Heights has tightened on a rolling three-month basis, with active listings down compared with last year even as they edge up slightly from early 2026. New listings have fallen year over year, and pending sales are also lower, pointing to a slower flow of homes into and through the pipeline. At the same time, months of supply has risen sharply compared with a year ago, reaching about four months, which is higher than many recent periods but still supports a seller-leaning environment.
Prices are reacting upward in this setting. The typical home value in the latest three-month window is up strongly from a year ago, and it has jumped noticeably just since early spring 2026. University Heights is also pricing below the broader Newark city median sale price, which may be drawing interest from buyers looking for relative value within the city.
Buyer and seller behavior shows how this balance is playing out. Homes are spending around 50 days on the market in the current rolling three-month view, yet a very high share of recent sales have closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is now well above 100 percent. Compared with a year ago, more inventory and still-strong over-list bidding indicate a market that rewards informed pricing and timing. Both buyers and sellers can benefit from an experienced local agent, and Agent Pronto can connect them with the right professional to navigate University Heights conditions.

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.
