le quarter dans analyse
THIRD QUARTER
With Q3 2024 behind us, the Eastern Shore market clearly signaled a rebalancing act. Buyer enthusiasm softened slightly—sales and volume dipped, inventory edged higher, and median prices eased. Yet, rising GDP and lower borrowing rates provided economic lift. The waterfront segment told its own story: values climbed, yet listings lingered longer, suggesting a recalibrated pace at the upper end. This quarter wasn’t a pullback—it was a thoughtful reset, a chance for the market to exhale and align with broader economic rhythms.
