the quarter in review
THIRD QUARTER
The Eastern Shore entered Q3 2025 with renewed momentum. Sales and volume rebounded smartly, inventory stabilized, and pricing held solid—especially in waterfront and luxury segments. Buyers returned with purpose, sellers remained discerning, and the market found its balance once more. It was a quarter of quiet reaffirmation, as the Shore’s character and strength shone through under the surface.
