In Forest Hills, the median sits at $549,500, translating to roughly $300 per square foot. That per-foot figure is doing most of the talking here — this is a market where finish level and lot condition move the number more than square footage alone, so two homes at similar sizes can land in very different places depending on updates.
A median 22.5 days on market, based on 14 recent closings, points to a segment that is moving at a steady, unhurried pace rather than a bidding-war environment. For sellers, that means pricing to condition matters more than pricing to hope. For buyers, there's enough breathing room to get an inspection done right rather than waiving contingencies to compete.

Who Forest Hills is best for.
Best for
- Buying with flexibility on timeline, since homes here are taking just over three weeks to move.
- Trading up into a higher price-per-square-foot bracket where finish level is the main differentiator.
- Making an offer contingent on a full inspection, given the room the current pace allows.
Probably not for
- Needing a large, active set of comparable listings to validate a price before writing an offer.
- Relying on documented community amenities as a deciding factor, since none are currently listed.
- Expecting a fast-moving, multiple-offer environment based on days-on-market data here.

The Forest Hills buying strategy.
If we were buying in Forest Hills today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Forest Hills.
What the numbers are actually saying
With only 14 closings feeding the current snapshot, Forest Hills is a market where you read trend lines cautiously. The median price of $549,500 and price per square foot near $300 are useful anchors, but with this few transactions, a single high-end renovation or one distressed sale can shift the median more than it would in a community with deeper closing volume.
No community amenities are identified in current MLS listings for Forest Hills, which likely reflects how the neighborhood is marketed rather than a statement on what's nearby — buyers should treat that as an open question to verify directly rather than assume either way. The median days on market of 22.5 suggests homes here are getting real look time before going under contract, which is typical of a market that isn't being chased.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Forest Hills. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
