The Quarter in Review
Second Quarter
Spring in Southern Maryland unfolded as a study in strategic momentum. While waterfront sales softened (down ~29%), asking prices climbed 11%, and days on market more than doubled to 16, signaling selective buyer activity and nuanced pacing. On a broader level, the market experienced tidier supply, measured demand, and discernible movement toward balance. It wasn’t about speed—it was about intention. Buyers were watching; sellers were mindful. The market settled in—not with urgency, but with clarity
