The Quarter in Review
Third Quarter
Greater Baltimore found its rhythm again in the third quarter of 2025. After a measured start to the year, sales and total volume rebounded, median pricing stabilized, and days on market compressed as buyers re-engaged with purpose. Inventory levels held steady, offering just enough choice to sustain movement without softening prices. Luxury and mid-tier segments led much of the activity, while entry-level affordability remained tight. This quarter felt grounded—less reactionary, more deliberate—underscoring a region defined by resilience, balance, and long-term confidence.
