Newark at a glance: September 2026

Single family homes, compared with September 2025. The small line under each number is the last 13 months.

Are Newark home prices going up or down?

In September 2026, single family homes in Newark sold for a median of $1.30M, down 3% from a year earlier. From January to September 2026, the median was $1.40M on 199 sales, flat with the same months of last year, and price per square foot was $830, down 5% from last year.

Newark only sees 10 to 38 house sales a month, so one month’s median moves with whichever homes happened to sell. Watch the line, not the latest dot. Price per square foot adjusts for size, and the year to date numbers below are the steadiest read.

60 single family homes were for sale in Newark in September 2026 and 25 sold. That’s 2.4 months of supply, up from 1.1 a year earlier, when 42 were for sale and 38 sold.

Months of supply is homes for sale divided by homes sold that month: how long it would take to sell everything on the market at that pace if nothing new got listed. Under about 4 months usually favors sellers. Over about 6 favors buyers.

Amrit’s take

If you’re selling in Newark

• Price it to the last three months. There are more houses for sale than a year ago, and buyers compare.
• Half the houses that sold this year went in 14 days or less. After three weeks, a price change does more than another open house.
• A sharp price still gets competition: buyers paid 102.2% of asking on average this year.
• Own a condo or townhome? Newark’s have sold faster than last year, in a median of 19 days vs 22.
