MARKET REPORT
The Eastern Shore surged confidently into mid‑2025. Closed sales climbed nearly 45%, volume jumped over 50%, and median pricing held firm—while days on market virtually halved, building urgency. Even as listings ticked higher, demand surged across key tiers, with luxury and waterfront segments maintaining strength amid calibrated competition. This wasn’t revival—it was renewal—a market harmonizing pace, value, and purpose.

Economic Factors
Impact On The Market
Q2 2025 marked a striking rebound. Nationally, contraction persisted, but easing rates (down to 6.75%) and strong equity markets lifted sentiment. Across Maryland, sales surged, volume soared, and median prices advanced at double-digit clips. Homes sold faster, inventory trimmed, and demand concentrated especially in mid-to-luxury bands.
Waterfront activity moderated slightly in pace, but luxury markets surged, underscoring buyer confidence. Entry-level buyers continued to face supply constraints, but across the board, the quarter was characterized by clarity and conviction. Maryland didn’t just weather national caution—it outpaced it.
For Sellers:
Momentum was strong; well-positioned listings moved quickly.
Luxury and mid-tier homes captured decisive demand.
Slight inventory tightening preserved leverage.
For Buyers:
Sub-$1M bands offered more choice but remained competitive.
Luxury demanded sharp, ready offers.
Waterfront properties showed opportunity as pace eased.
