The Quarter in Review
Second Quarter
Momentum returned in the spring. Sales climbed sharply, volume surged, and prices posted meaningful gains — all while homes sold faster and inventory tightened. This general lift reflected renewed urgency from buyers, especially in higher-value tiers, but also reinforced the broader strength of the Baltimore market. Q2 was less about cautious pacing and more about decisive action, as the region demonstrated resilience and confidence against a softer national backdrop.
