Inventory is building in Odenton with 105 active listings carried over from last month and 95 new listings coming on board in March.  Of those, 102 homes went under contract, a 17% decrease over the previous year.  No doubt we're starting to see some effects of COVID in late March and it remains to be seen what this will do to the market.

The overall sold volume was up 11% and the average sale price was up almost 14% with days on market decreasing by almost 40%.  We had a great start to the Spring market!

Even with a stay at home order, Piney Orchard real estate rallied this month with an 81% increase in new listings as compared to the same period in 2019.  This is the first real increase we've seen since the Fall when inventory got gobbled up.  There were 12 listings carried over from February and an additional 20 new listings added in March. Of those, a total of 19 homes went under contract with an average days on market of just 9 and a sale price to list price of over 100%.

Making a move to Fort Meade MD or NSA?  If you're considering renting a home we have some important updates on the rental market.  Inventory started decreasing when the mold issues in base housing started being reported as many families moved off base.


It's taken a while, but the rental housing inventory is finally starting to rebound.  However, we are still seeing multiple applications on properties closest to the base.  And there just aren't enough homes to satisfy the demand.  This is pushing some families who otherwise might have rented in to purchasing a home.  And that is putting a drain on the already low housing sale inventory.

Many clients are securing homes prior to a house hunting visit and are requesting video call tours which we are happy to accomodate!

To navigate this market, you'll want an experienced pro who really understands the market.  The Roskelly Team would love to put our 20+ years of experience to work for you.
