Conclusions for Salisbury MD Area Home Buyers
Home buyers in the Salisbury MD area real estate market haven’t seen conditions like these in over a decade. As the result of very low current inventory, multiple offers are becoming more common and some properties are selling for over list price.
In any given week, up to half of the homes that have gone under contract were on the market for less than a month. Fortunately, mortgage rates have stabilized while prices have yet to go up significantly in the last few years as some prospective buyers are on the edge of getting priced out of the market.
