Maple Shade, NJ Real Estate Market Report — March 2026

Maple Shade: An Affordable Entry Point With Real Market Activity

Maple Shade Township doesn't always get the headlines that Moorestown or Haddonfield do — but for buyers looking for affordability and sellers looking for liquidity, this Burlington County market deserves a serious look. With a median sale price of $275,000 in March 2026, Maple Shade represents one of the most accessible entry points for homeownership in South Jersey.

Here's what the data shows for March 2026.

March 2026 At a Glance

• New Listings 23

• Homes Sold 7

• Median Sale Price $275,000

• Average Sale Price $291,429

• Median Days on Market 28

• Months of Supply 3.3

• End of Month Inventory 20 homes

• Homes Pended (Under Contract) 14

Median Sale Price: $275,000

At $275,000 median and $291,429 average, Maple Shade is the most affordable market in by a meaningful margin. For first-time buyers, buyers relocating from higher-cost markets, or investors looking at rental property acquisition, the price point is genuinely compelling — particularly given Maple Shade's proximity to Philadelphia, Cherry Hill, and the Route 73 corridor.

The rolling 12-month average of $322,910 is notably higher than March's $291,429 — indicating that the upper end of Maple Shade's market (homes in the $350,000–$400,000 range) has been more active in other months. March's closings skewed toward the entry-level, keeping median and average below the annual trend.

Inventory & Market Conditions: Active But Manageable

At 3.3 months of supply with 20 active listings, Maple Shade is still technically a seller's market — but with only 7 closings in March, transaction velocity is lower than larger markets. The 14 pending contracts are encouraging and suggest a stronger April closing pipeline is building.

Year-over-year inventory comparison:

• April 2026: 19 homes | $6.14M volume

• April 2025: 18 homes | $5.12M volume

Inventory is almost flat year-over-year (18 → 19 homes) while total listed volume has grown about 20% ($5.12M → $6.14M). That volume increase without a corresponding inventory increase means homes are being priced higher than they were last year — consistent with the broader South Jersey appreciation trend even at the entry-level price point.

Days on Market: 28 Days

28 days on market is the fastest absorption rate in this report alongside Moorestown — a somewhat surprising result for an entry-level market, but it makes sense when you consider the buyer demand at sub-$300,000 price points. First-time buyers and investors targeting affordable inventory are often ready to move quickly, and competition for well-priced entry-level homes is real.

14 Homes Went Under Contract in March

14 pending contracts against just 7 closings is a notable imbalance — it means the pipeline is building faster than it's clearing. That's a good sign for the market's near-term health and suggests April closings will substantially outpace March.

What This Means If You're Selling in Maple Shade

Maple Shade sellers benefit from strong demand at the entry-level price point:

• At $275,000 median, your buyer pool includes first-time buyers with FHA financing, investors, and cash buyers — a wide and motivated audience.

• 28 days on market is fast — price correctly and you'll be under contract within a month.

• The 20% increase in listed volume year-over-year suggests the market is absorbing higher prices. If you've been thinking about selling, appreciation is working in your favor.

• Only 20 active listings means your competition is limited. List now before the spring wave adds more options for buyers.

What This Means If You're Buying in Maple Shade

For buyers who've been priced out of Cherry Hill, Voorhees, or Mount Laurel, Maple Shade offers a realistic alternative:

• Sub-$300,000 median price makes FHA financing a viable and competitive option.

• 28 days on market means you can't browse casually. When you find a well-priced home, act.

• Only 20 active listings — selection is limited, but what's available is priced accessibly.

• Maple Shade's location provides excellent access to major employers in Cherry Hill, Moorestown, and Philadelphia without the premium price tag of those markets.

Why Maple Shade Makes Sense

Maple Shade Township sits in a geographic sweet spot — directly adjacent to Cherry Hill and Moorestown, with quick access to Route 73, 38, and I-295. For buyers who want to be near South Jersey's strongest commercial corridors without paying Cherry Hill or Moorestown prices, it's a logical choice.

The township's housing stock is predominantly post-war single-family homes — ranchers, capes, and split-levels — that attract buyers looking for manageable square footage, low maintenance, and established neighborhoods. Rental demand is also consistent here, making it a practical target for small investors building a South Jersey portfolio.
