the quarter in review
THIRD QUARTER
Q3 2024 offered Southern Maryland a poised pause. After a slower Q1 with reduced nearly 17% in transactions, and as year-end data showed modest price growth (~4%), the mid-year likely settled into a balanced rhythm. Buyers saw a market that wasn’t feverish—but wasn’t cooling either. Inventory remained tight, houses moved steadily, and market energy leaned toward clarity over chaos. This was a quarter of thoughtful recalibration, with value and timing taking the lead.
