Q4 2024 MARKET UPDATE

the quarter in review
FOURTH QUARTER
The Baltimore market closed 2024 with quiet strength. Overall sales and volume ticked upward from Q3, while pricing edged higher and inventory tightened. Days on market rose modestly, signaling more measured buyer behavior, but demand remained intact across the board. Mid-tier and luxury segments helped carry momentum, while the market as a whole finished the year steady and prepared for transition. Q4 wasn’t about acceleration — it was about resilience, and the results underscore Baltimore’s role as a stable, enduring market.
