Conclusions for Wicomico County Home Buyers

September home sales for Wicomico County came in at their lowest for the month since 2012. Record high home prices, mortgage rates at a high for the year, and continued low inventory have taken their toll on local homebuyers.  The seasonal component is again a factor now that the market has normalized. The typical fall slowdown is upon us once again. This also played a role in the fall of 2022 but was previously last evident in 2019.

 

Conclusions for Home Sellers in Wicomico County

While home inventory in Wicomico County remains historically low, the number of actual units for sale and months of supply are at a high for the year. With more buyers on the sidelines because of interest rates at a 20-year high, those remaining simply don’t have the sense of urgency area home sellers have become accustomed to.
