This page tracks what homes in Forest actually sold for over the last twelve months, how long they took, and what moved the price. It is built from 15 verified closed sales in the Stellar MLS feed, not from public estimates. Every figure is a net-of-concessions number, which is explained at the bottom. Updated October 2026.

What homes sold for in Forest

$214,000Median sale price

$156Median per square foot

90 daysMedian days to contract

15Homes sold in 12 months

Sale prices ran from $100,000 to $278,500, which is a wide spread and the reason a single neighborhood median is a starting point rather than an answer.

By size

Home size	Sales	Median price	Median $/sq ft	Median days
Under 2,000 sq ft	15	$214,000	$156	90 days

A price per foot taken from the whole neighborhood should never be applied straight to one house.

Median days to go under contract. Shorter is better.

Sellers who held their number went under contract in a median 35 days. Sellers who had to reduce took 118 days and still closed at 96.5% of their already reduced price, after a typical cut of $15,000.

1 of 15Sales carrying a credit

A seller credit covers part of the buyer's closing costs and comes off the seller's proceeds, so the headline sale price overstates what the seller kept. Budget for it if you are selling, and ask for it if you are buying.

How buyers paid

Cash 12 sales80%

Conventional 1 sale7%

FHA 1 sale7%

VA 1 sale7%

Cash was 80% of purchases. A high cash share means a seller has buyers who do not depend on an appraisal, and a buyer using a loan is competing against offers that can close faster.
