Navigating Maryland’s Shifting Market

Now’s the Time for Smart Buyers in November 2025!  Prices are still climbing-three percent year-over-year-but here’s the twist: over half of deals now come with seller concessions like closing cost help or rate buydowns. Inventory’s ticking up too; Baltimore rowhouses sit nine days longer than last fall. That means leverage-if you’re not sleep-walking through listings. Look past curb appeal: check crawlspaces, peep neighbor vibes, and yeah, google school ratings. In DC burbs like Bethesda, condos under four hundred grand are popping up with views that punch above their price, but snag ‘em quick before rates tease lower. Annapolis waterfront? Dreamy, but hunt for fixer-uppers where that three percent bump hasn’t fully hit yet-folks are motivated to offload before winter bites. Quick tips to crush it: One, get pre-approved now; sellers love a clean offer. Two, scout off-market gems through our network-I’ve got a few whispers on several homes. Three, factor in Maryland’s quirky taxes; chat exemptions if you’re a first-timer. Bottom line: This market’s handing savvy buyers the reins.
