Newark’s median sale fell in September, but price per foot bounced back, and the bigger story is months of supply, now at its highest point in five years.<\/p>\n
The median single-family sale in Newark closed at $1,298,000<\/b> in September 2026, down 11.4% from August. In the same month the median price per square foot rose 15.4% to $817<\/b>, ending a three-month slide. A lower median alongside a higher price per foot most likely means smaller homes closed this month, the mirror image of August, rather than an 11.4% drop in what Newark homes are worth. RPR’s estimate of the typical home slipped only 0.8%. The report does not break out home size, so that is an inference.<\/p>\n
The homes that sold went fast. They averaged 100.97% of list<\/b>, back over asking, after a median of 13 days<\/b> on market. But active listings jumped 26.5% to 62 while new contracts fell 24% to 19, and months of inventory climbed to 2.82<\/b>, up 32.4% on the month and 44.6% from a year ago, the highest point on the report’s five-year chart. Newark is still a seller’s market by supply, with a thinner margin than a year ago.<\/p>\n September 2026 at a glance<\/p>\n The full Newark report, with the free branded PDF<\/p>\n Every price across the pipeline, how price and value moved apart, where September sits in a five-year view, and a three-page PDF you can download and keep.<\/p>\n
