The Quarter in Review
Second Quarter
Spring arrived with clarity on the Eastern Shore—market momentum surged forward. Sales and volume climbed sharply, pricing jumped double digits, and listings moved faster than in months past. Waterfront and luxury sectors led the renewed charge, delivering both premium pricing and urgency. Inventory thinned just enough to keep supply tight, yet buyers surged in with purpose and clarity. This quarter wasn’t just active—it was decisive. And this report brings that renewed energy into focus with poise and insight.
