At the end of Q3 2017, the real estate market in Newark seemed to be on an upward path. Our most recent study showed that at the end of September 2017, the median sale price in the city reached $151,000, an increase of $30,000 compared to the same period in 2012.<\/p>\n

To better understand how the Newark residential market has evolved in the last five years, we analyzed all residential transactions to close in the city during the first three quarters of 2012 and compared them to sales closed in the first three quarters of 2017. As a result, we discovered which of the city\u2019s neighborhoods had the most accelerated growth in prices during this interval.<\/p>\n

Read on to find out which are the five Newark neighborhoods to see the highest increases in median home prices compared to 2012:
\n\"Newark<\/a><\/p>\n

Methodology:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>To determine which are the fastest-developing neighborhoods in terms of home prices, we looked at all residential transactions closed between January 2012 and September 2012 and compared them with the figures from January 2017 to September 2017.
