How home values in Morris Plains Borough have changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Median home value	$517,500 (±$25,676)	$643,300 (±$26,749)	+24.3%	No measurable change after inflation
Median owner cost with a mortgage	$2,756 (±$168)	$3,346 (±$157)	+21.4%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
