There’s a common assumption that once summer ends, buyers start disappearing.
But the numbers tell a more interesting story here in Morris County.
📊 515 homes sold in August 2026, up from 505 in August 2025.
⏱️ Homes sold in an average of 19 days on the market, compared with 24 days a year earlier.
🏡 At the same time, active listings were up about 9% year over year, giving buyers more homes to choose from.
So what does that mean for homeowners thinking about selling?
Fall doesn't automatically mean the buyers are gone.
It does mean that understanding what buyers are actually responding to right now can be more useful than relying on seasonal assumptions.
And the story can look very different from one town, neighborhood, and price range to another.
