Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Upper Vailsburg’s rolling three-month numbers show solid price growth alongside shifting activity. Typical home values are up about 4 percent from last year to roughly $605,000, while the median list price has climbed about 6 percent, both outpacing the wider Newark area where prices are down slightly.
Looking at the latest rolling three-month period ending in September 2026, inventory and demand are moving in different directions. Active listings are flat compared with a year ago at 46 homes, yet homes sold are up nearly 50 percent, and months of supply is at 4.1, lower than Newark’s 5.4 months, reinforcing the local seller’s market designation.
Pricing power and speed tell more of the story for buyers and sellers. Nearly 68 percent of recent sales closed above the asking price and the average sale-to-list ratio is above 106 percent, even as the median days on market has lengthened to 46 days, down about 9 percent from a year earlier in this rolling view. In this kind of market, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands Upper Vailsburg’s shifts in prices, inventory, and timing.
Upper Vailsburg offers residents a welcoming mix of parks, local services, and a tight-knit community feel with convenient access to city amenities.
Upper Vailsburg in Newark offers practical city living with strong transit access, solid housing stock, and everyday conveniences. Located on the city’s western edge near South Orange, it appeals to residents who want neighborhood feel along with a straightforward commute.
Branch Brook Park is a short drive away, but locals especially value nearby Vailsburg Park for ballfields, playgrounds, and walking paths. Weekends often center around small businesses along South Orange Avenue, with casual dining, markets, and services within minutes. The area connects easily to downtown via NJ Transit buses, and South Orange Station offers Midtown Direct rail service for those who work in Manhattan.
Families pay close attention to school options, including Vailsburg Elementary School and other Newark Public Schools, plus nearby charter and parochial choices. The Newark Public Library system and city resources through City of Newark support everything from youth programs to homeowner assistance, which is attractive for both first-time buyers and long-term residents.
Housing in Upper Vailsburg is largely single and two-family homes with front yards and driveways, alongside multifamily buildings that appeal to investors. Navigating local property values, zoning, and recent sales can be complex, especially with differences block to block and competition from nearby areas like Forest Hill, Ironbound, and Weequahic. A knowledgeable local agent can interpret these nuances, streamline the process, and reduce stress for both buyers and sellers through Agent Pronto’s matching service.

“Daniel is highly professional and has a team that always responds in a timely manner and is very efficient. The property I had was out of state, Daniel took care of everything that needed to be taken care of and saved me loads of trouble. He monitored the entire process and made sure everything was handled with utmost professionalism. Daniel is definitely the best and I cannot thank him enough for taking care of this for me.”
“I could not have made a better decision than entrusting Cynthia with the sale of my family’s house following my mother’s passing. Cynthia's knowledge of the market, thoroughness and go-to-market strategies proved vital in helping us secure the best offer possible for our family’s home. Cynthia was actively involved throughout the process, going above and beyond to meet our needs at every step of the way. She kept in constant communication to make sure things stayed on track taking the necessary time to explain the process and our options at each stage. Plus she also proved to be highly resourceful, finding answers or contacts for whatever situation arose. Cynthia delivered an outcome that surpassed my family's expectations. Not just exceeding our expected sales price, but also with the care and attention that our family needed during that difficult time.”
“Preparing to relocate out of state to be closer to family and community is inherently stressful, but choosing Corrado to sell our home was the easiest decision we made. Having worked together previously, I already knew the caliber of his work. I needed someone knowledgeable, strictly professional, and punctual—and once again, he delivered. What I valued most was his promptness and lightning-fast turnarounds at every step of the transaction. If you are looking to buy or sell, take my advice: avoid "weekend" or part-time agents. You want someone who does this full-time for a living. Corrado lives and breathes this market, handles the volume, knows how to negotiate across every type of buyer and seller, and has the insider network that part-timers simply can’t match. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.”
“My experience with Raphaela was amazing . She was very helpful communicative and knowledgeable, when it came to finding my apartment. I highly recommend her to help you find your home.”
“Jessenia is amazing as a realtor, a lender and a person! Very kind, empathetic, responsive, always keeping me up to date in the entire process and explaining anything I needed. We had a few bumps along the way in the process, but these things that are out of our control happen, and she still made sure we made it to closing and that everything was taken care of. Thank you soooo much Jessenia!”
“From managing my property while it was rented to helping me successfully sell it, Eiesha was professional, responsive, and always had my best interests in mind. They made every step of the process easy and stress-free, kept me informed throughout, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled smoothly. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dedicated, she is the person to call.”
“Vanessa did a wonderful job from beginning to end. Any questions I had she answered with no hesitation. Always one phone call away. Her knowledge and experience was very valuable to me. I will recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a new home.”
“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!!”
“Ami is a very knowledgeable realtor , as first time sellers she made the process very easy for us from putting the house on the market to us selecting the offer and everything in between”
“Michael did outstanding job in selling my property at 208 Echo Place for above asking price, he’s very knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommended him to my friends and family.”
“From start to finish James was efficient and performed his work thoroughly and efficiently throughout the entire listing and relisting, browsing and negotiation process. James marketed our home well and provided constant feedback. It was a pleasure working with him and would recommend him to any buyers/sellers”
“I just had to take a few moments to post a review regarding my recent home purchase. Tim Taffin, Jefferson Township and Morris County Realtor was definetely the guy for me....and hopefully you! The selection of listings that Tim would send me were always on the mark, I didn't have to sort through listings that were not my taste, size, neighborhood , etc. and he was always punctual at a showing. Tim even made himself available at the last minute for the occasional open houses I would want to go to. Tim always came with a vision or suggestion for each of the properties I looked at and was readily open to questions, criticisms and comments about the properties. He was realistic in my search and always conscious of my budget. I am thrilled to have purchased my home in Lake Shawnee. Tim was a tremendous help at the home inspections and the walk-through on closing day. He even went up into the crawl space to check on some mold removal that was done (not really, and without Tim going up there, I never would have known it wasn't done!) and I am sure not many realtors would have done that! Tim is an absolute gentelman, a family man who knows what families want, and a true professional. If you or anyone you know needs a realtor in Morris County or Jefferson area, look Tim up. I am sure you will be pleased. Marc Defeo Wharton, NJ”
“Tanielle and her team were amazing during the whole home buying process. They were always there to support me when I had questions and guide me to achieve the best possible outcome. I could see that Tanielle and her team genuinely wanted to best for me when it came to buying my first home and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a new home in Jersey area!”
“Jordan was great! Stuck with him from the beginning. Really a great realtor to be on your team, played a huge part in our first time home purchase! Originally we were with another lender that was not able to fit our needs, because of Jordan connections he put us in contact with the guys over at Jersey Mortgage Company. They offered us a program that was way better than FHA. Shoutout to Jordan for saving us a ton of money! Thank you againnnn.”
“Robin was wonderful to work with and is a top notch agent! She always know what to do to to help and guide me through the buying process. I am so grateful to have worked with her a second time. Highly recommend!!!!”
“I can’t speak highly enough of Felicia Hankerson as our real estate agent. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and hard work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. She is detail oriented, honest, good with people and has a knack for matching the buyer with the perfect resources…. making it the perfect fit for your home. Thank you so much Felicia for being a phenomenal realtor!”
“Maribel is an honest, reliable, and knowledgeable realtor. She helped us purchase a home in 2020 and also helped us rent out one of our apartments. We’re working with her again this year because our 1st experience with her went so well. She knows the answer to just about every question and if she doesn’t, she finds a way to get the answer as quickly as possible. No matter what time we reach out, she is always available. She is very friendly as well which makes it so easy to work with her. We highly recommend Maribel because she is definitely who we go to first for any real estate needs.”
“Vennissa helped us find our first home. We were total newbies and felt out of our element starting the process, especially with a very bustling and competative sales market. We met Vennissa through Zillow, and we really liked her vibe. She knew a lot, was very chill, and took her time with us. She paid attention to our needs and what things we were focusing in on... she quickly knew how I was feeling about a home before I said a word, and we never felt rushed or pushed around they way we had with a few other previous agents. She answered our million questions about the process and really held our hands a bit. We felt very taken care of and we love our new home. It was really a great experience and I highly recommend Vennissa!”
“Juan is an extraordinary real estate agent with exhaustive learning of the area and real estate. He helped us sold our last home and has worked with us and the developer on another home we are practically primed to involve. He has been extremely accommodating through the building procedure. It is extraordinary to have Juan in our corner. I am more than glad to recommend Juan to anyone!”
