As we crossed into the heart of summer, June 2025 brought some notable shifts in the Anne Arundel County real estate market. After a tight spring season characterized by low inventory and high competition, we're now seeing early signs of normalization—though buyer demand remains strong and certain segments of the market are still moving fast.

📈 Inventory Finally Climbing

The biggest story this month? Inventory is rising.
June saw a substantial increase in active listings—up nearly 78% compared to May. With roughly 1,776 homes on the market by mid-month, buyers finally have more options than we’ve seen in recent years.

This increase spans all home sizes, with 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom homes seeing the largest month-over-month gains. After multiple seasons of tight inventory and bidding wars, this is welcome news for buyers who’ve been waiting on the sidelines.

💰 Price Trends: Small Dip, Big Opportunity

Prices, meanwhile, are showing signs of softening—but not crashing.

• The median list price in June was approximately $559,000, down from $599,000 in May.

• Homes with 3 or 4 bedrooms saw price reductions ranging from 3–6%.

• The median sold price settled around $500,000, still up slightly year-over-year, but a noticeable dip from recent highs.

While sellers may feel the pinch of price adjustments, motivated buyers are seeing new opportunities—especially if they act quickly and lock in favorable terms before interest rates shift again.

🏃‍♂️ Homes Still Moving Fast

Despite more inventory, homes in desirable neighborhoods are still selling quickly and over asking. In June, the majority of homes that went under contract did so in under 30 days, often with multiple offers. This trend was particularly strong in areas like Annapolis, Severna Park, and Crofton, where demand remains high and well-priced homes draw quick attention.

Sellers should still expect competition—just not the extreme bidding wars of early 2022 or 2023.

⚖️ A Market Moving Toward Balance

This month represents a transitional period for Anne Arundel real estate. We’re no longer in the frenzy of a pure seller’s market, but we haven’t fully tipped into a buyer’s market either.

• Sellers: Now is the time to price smart, stage well, and make sure your listing stands out. Overpricing will get punished.

• Buyers: Take advantage of the increased selection, but be prepared to move quickly when the right property pops up.

🔮 Looking Ahead

As we head into late summer and early fall, expect:

• Continued growth in inventory.

• Pricing to hover near current levels or slightly soften depending on interest rates.

• More balanced negotiations between buyers and sellers.

If mortgage rates stay stable, we could see a brisk but healthier pace of sales—something the market hasn’t enjoyed in years.

📌 Final Thoughts

Anne Arundel County’s June 2025 market is showing signs of stability and renewed opportunity. Whether you're planning to buy your first home, upgrade to more space, or sell while demand is still strong, now is a great time to act—with a clear strategy.
