March Housing Market Update

March 2020 Housing Market Update

The March housing market showed robust price growth based on home prices. Accordingly, median sale prices reached ten-year highs in Washington D.C. and Baltimore Metro Areas. New listings inventory continues to retract.

  • The Baltimore Metro area celebrated its best March median home price in the past ten years. It is also one of the top five months in the past ten years for both detached home prices (#3, $371.0K, up +12.5%) and attached home prices (#5, $220.0K, up +4.8%).
  • Detached homes in Howard County sold for a new 10-year overall high of $560.0K, up +3.7%.
  • Closing volume fell just under the March 10-year high set in 2017 (3,288) by less than 100 homes. Detached home closings (1,674) gained +10.9%, falling only 50 short of the March 2017 monthly high.
  • Anne Arundel detached home sales leaped +28.0% year over year, pushing the month to a new March 10-year best.
  • Anne Arundel County also set an overall 10-year low for days on the market, coming in -19 days under last year.
