Forest Heights remains as one of the rare centrally located neighborhoods in Tallahassee where you can find 3, 4, and even 5-bedroom homes selling for well below $200K.
This popular NW Tallahassee neighborhood is located across from Godby High School on the north side of Tharpe Street and currently offers some of the best deals in town for ample-sized single-family detached homes.
Forest Heights homes for sale
In this report, we will look at average home price trends, home value trends, and home size trends in Forest Heights. Additionally, we have provided a list of all closed home sales going back to 1991.

Average Home Price
Average Home Price
Home sales activity has slowed considerably since our last report. I suspect it has a lot to do with sticker shock, but buyers are not going to find better deals elsewhere.
Currently, there are eight homes for sale in Forest Heights and only one is under contract with a buyer. It is interesting that the average price this year has been $164K, yet all but one of the active listings are priced higher than this. It’s a sign of sellers standing by their guns!
Home Values In Forest Heights
Average home values in Forest Heights have shot up nearly 13% this year, which if you read our report in May you would have seen this coming.
Average Home Value
Average Home Value
The average value of homes sold in Forest Heights thus far in 2019 has been $98 per square foot, which remains 22% lower than the 2006 average, suggesting there is significantly more upside to be found here.
Is Your Agent Too Broke To Be Your Broker?
Most Real Estate Agents Have No Marketing Budget
The average real estate agent in Tallahassee will only sell five homes this year, and more than half will sell two or fewer. This means they do not earn enough money to spend the significant amount it takes to attract MANY buyers to your home.
They certainly cannot spend the type of money needed each day to promote your home and generate the buzz you need to attract MULTIPLE buyers. We are effective. And we spend more money each month marketing our listings than most agents earn in a year.
Let us show you how we can get your home sold for MORE MONEY than anybody else in the market!
