Conclusions for Salisbury MD Area Home Buyers
Wicomico County home prices continue to push upward as very low housing stock has increased demand accordingly. Now that COVID-19 restrictions are being eased and the local economy is reopened, Salisbury MD area home buyers have made their search a priority.
This is being fueled by low interest rates and declining unemployment. A scant 2.6 months of supply has made multiple offers commonplace. We’ve responded by getting creative in locating off MLS properties for sale through our extensive network of contacts for our buyer clients with good success.

June 2020 Salisbury MD Real Estate Outlook
Our May projection for Wicomico County home sales was more of a challenge than normal and we fell short by only 6 units. With home sales last June being a bit soft, it’s still possible we’ll see our first 100 unit month this year.
This would be in spite of low home inventory levels not seen since 2006 in the Salisbury MD area. Next month we’ll be publishing several reports including the Q2 market update and the Mid-Year Housing Report. It’s an interesting time for sure for the industry!
