West Side currently leans toward sellers, reflected in a Seller's Market gauge of 16. With just 59 homes listed and a similar number of new listings in March 2026, available options are limited enough to give sellers an edge.
Home values in West Side are notably higher than in Newark overall, with a typical home value of $680,000 compared to $540,505 in the city. Even after an 11.48% rise year over year, values dipped 5.09% from the prior month, while the projected typical value for April is $661,750 and the projected median list price is $721,250.
Homes are moving more quickly, spending a median of 58 days on the market, down 17.73% month over month and nearly 48.9% lower than a year ago. With 63% of recent sales closing above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio of about 1.04, sellers still hold pricing power even as inventory edges up 3.51% month over month and 5.36% year over year, and both pending sales and new listings have risen.
