• Closed in August: 23 homes sold

Tighter, Not Looser

We honestly thought this market would loosen up — instead it went the other way. There are only 46 homes for sale in the entire city of Newark right now, and things kept selling: 23 closed in August, with 27 more currently in contract. Behind all of that, just five houses are coming soon — that's the restock.

Do the quick math: 46 available against that pace of sales works out to about two months of inventory. A balanced market is closer to four or five months, so Newark is running well under that.

Why Location Keeps Driving Demand

The median home landed at $1.465 million. Hop over the Dumbarton Bridge and you're on the Peninsula — buyers have figured out that Newark is such a great location, and that's part of what's keeping demand strong.

What's Coming: The Four Corners Plan

Something most people haven't even heard about: the city is putting together a plan for the Four Corners area at Newark Boulevard and Jarvis — housing, shops, and more walkable areas are being built out there.

What This Means for Buyers & Sellers

For Sellers

If you're selling a house here, 45 competitors in the entire city isn't bad at all — just don't get greedy on price. Buyers are sharp right now and they have options.

For Buyers

When the right one comes up, "let me think about it over the weekend" doesn't really work when there are only 46 households on the market. With just two months of supply, be ready to move when a good match shows up.

The Bottom Line

Newark in one line: 46 homes on the market, about two months of supply, and that's the whole story for the entire city right now. Sellers have real leverage without much competition, and buyers need to move quickly and decisively when the right home appears.
