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.
