Worcester County, Maryland Market Update

In the last seven days, we’ve had 44 properties that came on the market. That’s broken down by 13 Coming Soon and 31 that are actually on the market. At the same time, the Pending numbers were pretty much right on par. We had 18 go Active Under Contract, along with 25 that are in the Pending status, to give us a total of 43 properties Under Contract in the last seven days. 

As for the number of properties that have gone Under Contract, we’ve seen that decrease a little from last week. However, our numbers are very much on pace, even with inventory coming on and inventory going under contract. Demand is still strong. 

If we look at the whole county, currently, we have 286 active properties. In the last 30 days, we’ve had 190 properties go Under Contract. That just gives us about 1.5 months’ supply, which is below the national figure of 3 months of supply.

In total, we have 1,329 properties for sale, while in the last 30 days, we have 464 properties that went under contract. This gives us 2.68 months’ supply, just below the 3 months’ supply average that we’re seeing across the country.
