This report combines three neighbors: Branchville Borough, Frankford Township and Hampton Township. Last quarter, the median was $555,000. In the older six-month window, from October to April, it was $467,500. So prices today sit about where they were last fall and winter. The median list price of sold homes was $475,000. That means buyers paid close to what sellers asked.

Why did home prices drop from the spring?
The spring number was the outlier, not the fall number. Only 23 homes sold from April to July.
With so few sales, a handful of bigger homes can pull the median way up. That's what likely happened this spring. Now, with 33 sales, the median is back near $469,000. That's up 0.3% from the older six-month window. In plain terms, values have held steady over the past year. That's good news for owners and a fair deal for buyers.

Is the Branchville, Frankford and Hampton housing market still a seller's market?
Yes. A seller's market is when there are more buyers than homes for sale.
Months of supply is a simple way to measure it. It shows how long current listings would last at today's sales pace. Under six months usually means a seller's market. These three towns closed about 11 sales a month. With 26 listings, that's about 2.4 months of supply. Homes sold for 100% of list price, down from 102.6% last quarter. On a $450,000 list price, that's the gap between asking and about $11,700 over. The median home sold in 20 days, close to last quarter's 17.
