If you’ve been searching for a home in Maryland lately, you’ve probably noticed how tight the market feels. In August, new listings across the state dropped 23.6%. That means fewer fresh options for buyers at every stage—whether you’re a first-timer, thinking about your next move, or navigating a change for your family. At the same time, overall home sales slipped by 8.5%, pending sales dipped 1%, and active inventory shrank another 13.7%. Yet, even with fewer choices, prices kept climbing: Maryland’s median home price reached $445,000 in August, up about 2.4% from last year.
