Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Forest Hills show a mixed picture in this rolling three-month view through September 2026. Active listings are down slightly compared with a year ago, while new listings have inched higher, pointing to steady but not surging seller participation. Homes sold have risen strongly year over year, yet pending sales are down by roughly one-third, indicating that more recent contract flow has cooled.
Pricing is reacting in nuanced ways to this shifting demand. The typical home value is down modestly compared with last year, even as the median list price has climbed more than 20 percent over the same period, suggesting sellers are testing higher asking prices than recent closed sales support.
Days on market have shortened by about a week and a half from a year ago, landing around 52 days and indicating that many homes still find buyers in a reasonable timeframe. However, only about 13 percent of recent sales closed above list price, a notable drop from last fall, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 98 percent, showing buyers have gained a bit more room to negotiate. With roughly four months of supply and a seller’s market label, conditions are still tilted toward sellers but less heated than in prior years. In this environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a Forest Hills agent who understands these changing dynamics.
Forest Hills offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with ample green space, convenient local amenities, and easy access to nearby urban opportunities for work, culture, and recreation.
Forest Hills stands out from nearby East Pittsburgh and Wilkinsburg by feeling distinctly residential and close knit, yet still closely connected to downtown Pittsburgh. Tree lined streets, a strong borough identity, and well kept homes give the community a settled feel that appeals to long time residents and new arrivals alike.
The borough is known for its early and mid century housing, from brick colonials to modest cape cods. Residents appreciate local green space at Forest Hills Borough Community Park and easy access to regional assets like Frick Park and the Great Allegheny Passage. The Forest Hills Borough government and civic groups host seasonal events that create a steady rhythm of community life and make it easier for newcomers to get involved.
Families look closely at local schools in the Woodland Hills School District and appreciate nearby cultural options such as the Carnegie Library of Homestead. Everyday errands are simple, with shopping and dining along Route 30 and quick trips to neighboring Monroeville or Penn Hills.
For both buyers and sellers in Forest Hills, timing and preparation matter. Understanding pricing trends, upcoming infrastructure projects, and how your home compares with similar properties in Allegheny County can strongly influence results. Agent Pronto connects you with a real estate professional who knows Forest Hills well and can help you prepare strategically, whether you are entering the market or ready to move on.

“I could not have asked for a better realtor than Madalynn. She is beyond wise, experienced, personable, and has amazing resources. She made an extremely overwhelming process a lot smoother. Every step of the process was explained thoroughly and her communication was phenomenal. Such an amazing realtor, we will be talking about her for years to come!!”
“Christine was very helpful in finding a home. during the search process she was diligent in sending new listings and at tours could quickly answer questions relating to the homes. Was on top of all purchase steps and was helpful in coordinating pre purchase home repairs and inspections”
“Abigail was exceptional helping us to buy our dream home. She was very responsive, knowledgeable and helped us to come up with an offer that ended up being accepted even though it was lower than some of the five other offers the seller received. She then helped us sell our old house within a little over a month. Again, she was on top of all of the negotiations and went out of way to make sure everything went smoothly. She is a gem!”
“Jaton Hopkins was absolutely amazing throughout my home buying journey! He was professional, very knowledgeable, patient, and always supportive of my decisions. He never pressured me and was always available to answer my questions and guide me through the process. I truly appreciate everything he did to help me get into my new home. I highly recommend Jaton Hopkins!”
“Heather made the entire process so easy, enjoyable and seamless from start to finish! She was responsive, gave us incredible information along the way and helped us sell our home quickly and easily. We are so glad that she was there for us through the entire process and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.”
“You're in great hands with Pam as your realtor. Pam found us the perfect patio home and helped us sell our house of 40 years with her expertise knowledge and confidence. She guided us every step of the process with her professionalism, quick response time and answered or found out the answer to all our questions. She made sure she booked the first showing of places in a highly competitive demanding market - patio homes for us baby boomers. We had a few hiccups along the way and Pam reassured us we would find a place and it would all work out. I would highly, positively, absolutely, 100% recommend Pam Simmons to family, friends or anyone looking for a realtor.”
“Emily is thoughtful, detailed, and attentive. She knows the area, the market, and the fears of sellers, lol. With her help, our house sold at a competitive price. We felt taken care of through this experience and she made it easy. Aside from being an amazing professional, she's a really awesome human.”
“Natalie made everything from touring properties to closing incredibly easy. We were first time buyers, and she was always available to answer our millions of questions, any time of day.”
“I've dealt with numerous realtors, but for this transaction in Pittsburgh, I was nervous. Being out of town and with the property having been used by my son and his friends during school, I wasn't sure of the condition or how much work it needed. I researched the best agents online and narrowed it down to Lisa. Even then, I wasn't sure since we’d never met in person, but I wasn't planning on flying out and was hoping for the best. This lady gets things done. She is pleasant and articulate, but more importantly, she knows the contract, has her own contractors for repairs, and knows exactly how to prep for a photoshoot and a successful open house. She is a great negotiator who never tries to sway you just to get a quick sale, she respects your opinion and delivers results. She also does the "little things" without even mentioning them, I only found out through my son that she was personally scrubbing the sink before the photoshoot to make the kitchen sparkle. When issues come up mid transaction, she resolves them. I had a scare right before closing with a midnight security alert. I called the police for a sweep and alerted Lisa around 1 am, she was out there the next morning with the police to do an inside check and make sure everything was good. If I had another property in Pittsburgh, I would not hesitate to work with her again.”
“Scott made the whole process simple, easy to understand, and as painless as possible. He walked us through each step and graciously dealt with the inevitable issues that came up.”
“Ed sold our house for more than we wanted very which! Thank you, Ed!”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Max Wilson as our real estate agent. From start to finish, Max was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He guided us through every step of the process with patience and expertise. What really stood out was Max’s attention to detail and dedication—he went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly, whether it was scheduling showings, answering our many questions, or negotiating on our behalf. We always felt like we were in great hands. Buying a home can be stressful, but Max made the entire experience feel seamless and even enjoyable. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and hardworking real estate agent.”
“Steve was awesome!! He went above and beyond to get my house sold in the worst of winters we had this year. The best was he closed my deal on his honeymoon!!!!!!!!”
“The real estate agent assigned by Agent Pronto was hard working, experienced, and quick to give sound advice and to make herself available to my erratic schedule. I would give Sarah Orbin the highest of recommendations.”
“Nicole was the redeeming part of my first home buying experience. She was super helpful and communicative. Really honest and observant when we looked at properties. Advocated for us during the negotiation process and absorbed a lot of the bureaucratic back end stuff to shield my neurotic brain. She answered every question I had and never made me feel foolish for asking. She was timely with communication, paperwork, and updates. I'm not exaggerating when I say I might have given up on the process if it weren't for Nicole's help, guidance, and positive spirit. She's a gem in a business where people don't always act above board or in good faith. I'm incredibly grateful to have had Nicole's help in my home buying journey.”
“Joan is hands down the best! Last spring/summer we were looking for a home to buy and as one we were interested popped up we randomly used the Zillow contact a realtor feature which put us in touch with Joan. The house we were interested in shortly went off the market prior to us actually meeting Joan but little did we know that random connection would develop into something special a few months later. In June, we found another house we were very interested in and decided to reach out to Joan for assistance. Once we met Joan at the house and decided this was the house for us we never looked back and the random message through Zillow turned into an amazing experience with our first time home buying process. Joan will move heaven and earth to make sure the process is a simple and easy as possible for you when buying. She genuinely cared and made us feel like it wasn't the buy/sell business relationship you'd expect, instead she made us feel like she would do whatever it took to make us happy and we deserved the home we wanted. She's simply the best and we can't say enough good things about her. Willing to go above and beyond, even after we received our keys and business is done she still responds to us when ever we reach out with genuine care and great friendliness. Joan, thank you for being our realtor and thank you for how you operate. You have passion, care, and truly are just a fantastic human being!”
“Summer was great. Patient, well informed, and put in alot of effort and time to successfully deal with a difficult transaction. She constantly offered good advice and guidance, and did an exceptional job representing me throughout the deal.”

“Absolutely amazing, she assisted and helped explain every step along the way! She made the process of buying our first home very easy. Very knowledgeable on the process and legalities of the home buying experience.”
