The coming soon pipeline

Eight more Newark houses and townhomes are staged to hit the market, from a $1,099,000 three bedroom on Campanula Court to a $2,995,000 four bedroom on Grasshopper Avenue. Coming soon is the window where a prepared buyer can move before the portals light up, and where a seller can read the competition before going live. The full list, with every active listing, sits on our listings page and refreshes every morning.

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.
