Newark Real Estate Market Report, July 2026 | Median Prices, Inventory & Trends

Newark stayed on the seller's side of the table in July 2026, and the headline this month is a genuine split: supply got tighter while prices got softer. The typical single-family home sold for $1,325,000, closed at 101.6% of its asking price, and went under contract in a median of 18 days, while months of inventory fell to 2.17, down about 18% from June. Here is the complete picture, recreated from the Bay East Association of REALTORS® and RPR market-trends data, with a free branded PDF you can download and keep at the end.

The interactive dashboard below walks through every number, the median sold price, the months-of-supply gauge, the full metric grid, and this month's supply and demand by stage.

What the numbers are telling us

Supply tightened, and this is still clearly a seller's market. Months of inventory finished July at 2.17, down 18.1% from last month and down 0.5% over the past year. Anything under three months counts as a seller's market, and six months is the conventional balanced line, so Newark is not close to the tipping point. This is a reversal in direction from last month's Newark report, where supply was building toward the top of its five year range. One note on comparisons: RPR revises prior months as late data lands, so the June baseline inside this report is not identical to the figure June's own report published. All month-over-month percentages here are the ones this report calculated.

Buyers are still paying over asking, with a slightly thinner premium. A sold-to-list ratio of 101.6% means the typical Newark home closed about 1.6% above its list price, down from the prior month. Pair that with a median of 18 days to pending and the picture is a market that is still competitive, just not frantic.

Prices eased, and this one is harder to write off as a mix shift. The median sold price of $1,325,000 is down 4.57% from last month. Normally a single month's median tells you as much about which homes happened to close as it does about value, and the honest check is price per square foot, which is far less sensitive to the mix. Here it moved the same way and further: $793 per square foot on closed sales, down 9.3%. That combination points to softer pricing on comparable space rather than simply a different set of houses. It is the opposite pattern from Fremont in the same month, where the median fell while price per foot rose.

Estimated values softened too. RPR's median estimated home value sits at $1,373,100, down 2.9% for the month and down 3% over the past year. That is a citywide model estimate rather than an appraisal, but it is moving in the same direction as the closings, which makes the month more coherent than most.

The contract pipeline is carrying pricier homes than the closings did. New pendings signed in July had a median list price of $1,399,999 and homes already pending sat at $1,490,000, both above July's $1,325,000 median close. Meanwhile what is actually on the market is cheaper, with active listings asking a median of $1,309,000. If those higher-priced contracts close, they would pull the next month or two of medians back up, which is a good reason not to read one soft month as a trend.

Prices across the pipeline

Here is where prices sat at each stage of the Newark market in July 2026:

• New listings, median list price $1,299,999 across 32 new homes
• Active, median list price $1,309,000 across 50 homes on the market
• New pending, median list price $1,399,999 across 17 fresh contracts
• Pending, median list price $1,490,000 across 26 homes awaiting close
• Sold, median sold price $1,325,000 across 31 closed homes
• Median price per square foot, $793 on closed single-family sales, versus $804 on today's active listings

Closed sales clearing above where sellers set fresh July asking prices, while the homes under contract sit higher still, is the sort of spread you see when the market is sorting itself by price band rather than moving as one block.

Supply and demand this month

July brought 32 new listings, and 50 homes sat active at the end of the month. Meanwhile 17 homes went into contract, 26 were pending at month end, and 31 closed. Closings outran new contracts, and both new listings and active inventory fell, which is exactly the arithmetic that drives months of inventory down to 2.17 even in a month when prices eased.
