🏡 Byram Market Update – May 2026 🏡

The Byram housing market stayed active in May!

📊 What changed from April?
• Homes sold for 93.35% of the list price, down 4%.
• Homes spent 52 days on the market, down 45% — meaning homes sold much faster.
• The median sold price was $207,000, down 24%.
• Inventory remained low at 2.64 months, keeping Byram in a seller-friendly market.

✅ What this means for buyers:
Buyers may find some relief with lower home prices. Homes are still moving quickly, so being pre-approved and ready to act is important.

✅ What this means for sellers:
Low inventory means less competition, which is good news for sellers. However, buyers are being more price-conscious, so proper pricing is key to attracting offers.

Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just want to know what your home may be worth, let’s talk!

🏡 What if your dream home didn’t require a down payment? 👀

A new home may be closer than you think! With help from one of our preferred lenders, qualified buyers may be able to take advantage of a special low-interest-rate program and down payment assistance. That could mean lower monthly payments and less money needed at closing.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to buy, this may be your opportunity to take the next step toward homeownership.
