What is the median home price in Byram Township, NJ right now?
The median sale price for a single-family home in Byram is $536,000. That's based on sales closed in the last 90 days.
That's a little lower than the spring, when the median hit $560,000. But it's still well above the $485,000 median from the fall and winter window. So prices are up about 10.5% from that older six-month stretch. The median list price of homes that sold was $515,000. That tells you buyers are still paying more than asking, on average.

That's an 83% jump in just 90 days. In the fall and winter window, there were only 10 homes on the market. More listings means buyers can actually compare homes before they decide. For sellers, it means your home has more competition than it did this spring.

Are homes in Byram still selling over asking price?
Yes. Byram homes sold for a median of 102.9% of list price in the last 90 days.
That's down from 106.1% the quarter before. On a $500,000 list price, that's about $14,500 over asking. This spring, the same home would have gone for about $30,500 over. Bidding wars still happen on well-priced homes. They're just not as wild as they were a few months ago.

Is Byram Township still a seller's market?
Yes, but it's loosening up. A seller's market is when there are more buyers than homes for sale.
Experts often use months of supply to measure this. Under six months of supply usually means a seller's market. Byram has 22 listings and about 6 sales a month. That works out to roughly 3.9 months of supply. This spring, it was closer to 1.5 months. One more thing to know: Byram is a small market. With only 17 sales, a few closings can swing the medians quite a bit.

What does this mean for buyers and sellers in Byram?
Buyers finally have some breathing room. Sellers still have strong prices, but pricing it right matters more now.
Byram calls itself the "Township of Lakes," with more than two dozen lakes and ponds. Cranberry Lake, Lake Lackawanna, and Forest Lake are some of the best known. Many lake homes run on well and septic, so plan for those inspections. Ask about lake association rules and fees early, too. Kids attend Byram Township schools through 8th grade. High schoolers go to Lenape Valley Regional High School in Stanhope. Many buyers here are coming from Bergen, Essex, and Passaic counties for more space. If you're selling, show off what they want: the water, the trails, and the quiet.
