๐Ÿ•’ Market Pace
Days on Market:

Homes often stay on the market longer than last year โ€” ~76 days on average in early 2026.
Compared with some past periods where listings turned faster, this suggests buyers are taking more time.
Inventory: Active listings range widely by source, but data shows 100+ homes on the market in many reports โ€” indicating a moderate supply environment.
๐Ÿ“‰ Interpretation: A slightly slower pace than super-heated markets. Sellers should price accurately and prepare for a thoughtful buyer pool.

ย 
๐Ÿ  Supply & Demand Balance
Buyer competition: Homes may see about 2 offers on average and moderate competition compared to peak years.
Balanced market: Some Realtor.com data from 2025 indicated 08087 was in a balanced market โ€” supply/demand relatively even, not strongly favoring buyers or sellers.
๐Ÿ“˜ What it means: Pricing right and good presentation are crucial โ€” over-priced homes may sit longer, while well-positioned properties still attract solid interest.

๐Ÿ” What This Means for You
Buyers:

Youโ€™re not in a โ€œfeeding frenzy,โ€ so thereโ€™s some negotiating room โ€” but sensible pricing still moves quickly.
Broader choice in inventory gives flexibility for preferences (location, size, style).
Sellers:

Proper pricing and staging matter more than ever.
Expect a bit more time on market than recent peak years, but decent buyer interest persists.
