Anne Arundel County July gave us a pretty clear warning about where the market was heading. Pending sales were down nearly 20% from the year before, despite buyers having roughly the same amount of inventory to choose from. That slowdown showed up in August. 603 homes sold in Anne Arundel County, down 7.8% from August 2025. More importantly, the pipeline hasn't improved. We are now sitting on roughly 25% more active inventory than this time last year, while pending sales are

Where Annapolis living and real estate intersect Plebe Summer If you've noticed more Midshipmen around Annapolis lately, or more Navy sailboats, YP boats and other training vessels on the Severn this summer, there's a reason. Every year, roughly 1,200 incoming freshmen arrive in late June for Plebe Summer, six weeks of training and their introduction to military life at the Naval Academy. That wrapped up with Plebe Parents' Weekend August 6–9, and now the rest of the Brigade

Anne Arundel County July was one of the more interesting months we've seen all year. At first glance, the market still looks remarkably healthy. Home sales matched last July almost exactly, median sales price jumped nearly 10%, and homes continued selling in just 11 median days. Those are not the numbers of a struggling housing market. But once you dig below the surface, there are signs that the market continues its very gradual shift toward a buyers market. The biggest stor

Where Annapolis living and real estate intersect Annapolis Has an Ice Cream Obsession Every summer I find myself wondering the same thing... How does downtown Annapolis support this many ice cream shops? Within just a few blocks you have Storm Bros., Kilwins, Red Bean, Annapolis Ice Cream Company/Always Ice Cream, and even Chick & Ruth's with its famous Colossal Milkshake. For a relatively small downtown, it's kind of ridiculous. And somehow...they all seem busy. Next time y

Anne Arundel County As we close out the last of 2026's spring market, June's numbers largely reflect activity that was already in motion in May. Homes that closed in June typically went under contract the month before. Turnover across the spring stayed extremely tight, but total sale volume was up 7.8% from 2025, a sign we are still heading in the right direction (SLOWLY). That said, the trend isn't guaranteed to hold. Pending sales are down 15% from this time last year, so

Where Annapolis living and real estate intersect Have You Noticed the Water Lately? Photo Credit: Jay Flemming We spend a lot of time talking about neighborhoods, homes, and real estate, but one of the biggest reasons people choose to live in Annapolis has nothing to do with a house at all. It is the water. And this year, there is something special about it. One thing you may notice this summer, and a topic that has become a frequent conversation around Annapolis, is the

While we continue to face affordability challenges and historically low housing inventory, the Anne Arundel County housing market experienced a relatively normal spring market this year. Buyer activity increased steadily throughout the season, with monthly home sales rising from 378 in January to 728 in May. On the inventory side, active listings followed a typical spring pattern. Inventory surged 46% in April as more homeowners entered the market and remained relatively stea

We’re right in the middle of the spring market — typically the busiest time of year. As expected, we’re seeing more listings hit the market, but that doesn’t necessarily mean inventory is back to normal levels. Below is a breakdown of what happened in Anne Arundel County last month (April), what it means, and where things may be heading.
