What the Numbers Say This Week
There are 118 active listings available in Forest Hills, while 3 properties are currently under contract, indicating that contracts have been written for those homes. The 8 sold listings reflect transactions that completed during the reporting period.
The average list price for active listings stands at $943,338, while the average sold price for the homes that closed is $793,375. The sale-to-list price ratio of 1 shows that the sold properties closed at list price on average. The average days on market for the sold homes is 6.
What This Means for Buyers
Active listings represent the current homes available for buyers to consider, while the pending listings indicate properties that already have contracts written and are no longer fully available. Buyers should compare individual homes by price, condition, location, and competing listings rather than relying only on weekly averages.
Thinking About Buying in Forest Hills?
If you’re trying to figure out how this week’s numbers apply to your price range or the homes you’re considering, I’m happy to talk through it with you.
What This Means for Sellers
Sellers should compare their home against the specific active listings competing for the same buyers. The pending listings show which properties currently have contracts written, while the sold listings provide context from completed transactions. The sale-to-list price ratio indicates how the sold group closed relative to the list price.
Thinking About Selling in Forest Hills?
The weekly averages are useful, but your home still competes against specific properties in its price range and location. If you want to see how the current numbers apply to your property, I’m happy to take a look.
Jason’s Take
There are homes available, and contracts are still being written. This suggests that buyers are finding properties to move forward on, but the totals do not tell us that every price range or neighborhood is behaving the same way.
The averages provide context, but I would not make a buying or selling decision based solely on them. The specific home, its condition, its price, and the competing listings are what truly matter.
