the quarter in review

FIRST QUARTER

The first quarter of 2025 opened on a slower, more deliberate note. Closed sales and volume softened, homes lingered longer, and buyers acted with greater patience. Yet prices held their ground, and inventory provided more choice without overwhelming supply. The shift marked a season of recalibration rather than retreat — a pause that gave participants room to breathe. Greater Baltimore entered the year not with volatility, but with balance, setting the stage for selective but confident engagement.
