le quarter dans analyse
FIRST QUARTER
The Eastern Shore entered the new year with both caution and clarity. As sales and volume retreated (closed units down ~33%, volume down ~39%), inventory surged—nearly doubling—yet pricing held steady near $498K. Luxury and waterfront segments painted a nuanced picture—more listings, slower pace, but still resilience. Q1 wasn’t about acceleration; it was about recalibration—homeowners and buyers alike pausing, but with purpose.
