le quarter dans analyse
FIRST QUARTER
The first quarter on the Eastern Shore quietly reset expectations. While economic indicators remained solid—GDP rose, confidence held—local real estate saw softer activity, especially in entry-level segments. Inventory climbed meaningfully, giving buyers more space to explore. Notably, the waterfront market stayed resilient, with pricing holding strong even as pace slowed. This wasn’t a downturn—it was a thoughtful pause in a market redefining its rhythm. This report captures that moment with clarity and calm.
