Conclusions for Salisbury MD Area Home Buyers
The slower pace of Salisbury MD area home sales in the first two months of 2018 is mostly the result of a lack of inventory, with the TOTAL number of available residential units of all types last week at around 320 in Wicomico County. With so few homes available, overall sales suffer as a result.
Rising mortgage rates have had many would be home buyers out in force for several months only to find slim pickings. Up to half the properties going under contract each week have been on the market for a month or less. A significant portion of the remainder sell after price reductions.

February 2018 Salisbury MD Real Estate Outlook
We fell short for our expectation for February home sales totals in Wicomico County but remain optimistic for a solid March to finish out the first quarter of 2018. That said, 75 units should sell this month in the Salisbury MD area.
We are keeping a close eye on the stock market as its performance can effect mortgage rates. The Trump administration’s proposed steel and aluminum tariffs and a strong February jobs report could make the rest of March a very bumpy ride on Wall St.
