Six homes are newly listed this week. Five are houses and one is a townhome.

The coming soon pipeline

Eight more Newark houses and townhomes are staged to hit the market as coming soon. Coming soon is the window where a prepared buyer can get ready before the portals light up, and where a seller can read the competition before going live. Our Newark inventory page updates the counts every morning, and Harv and Liliana can send buyers the homes themselves.

Inventory held exactly flat at 59 buyable homes, but the demand side moved. Homes in contract fell from 31 to 28, and the median days on market came down to 19 from 21. Fewer homes tied up and a faster clock is the signature of a market where the well priced homes are still going quickly and everything else is sitting.
