This is your monthly real estate market update for Anne Arundel County Maryland with James Bowerman, your Pasadena MD Realtor and the Real Creative Group of Compass.
The narrative hasn’t changed much when it comes to the real estate market here in Anne Arundel County. A low supply of inventory continues to create a condition of high demand for home buyers, resulting in fewer days on market, multiple offers, and higher sales prices. So in this month’s market update, I wanted to take a look at and break down three different market segments; homes selling below $500,000, between $500,000 to $1,000,000, and above $1,000,000.
Home For Sale Below $500,000 in AACo
This range is below the average sales price in Anne Arundel County, making it the most attractive for first time homebuyers or those with a smaller budget. There are only 198 properties currently active for sale below $500,000, which makes up only 36% of the total inventory. However, 57% of the homes coming soon do fall in this price range, which is good news. The average price in this market segment is about $360,000, with a median days on market of 6 days, and selling for an average of 0.9% above list price.
Home For Sale Between $500,000 to $1,000,000 in AACo
Many of the home buyers in this range are move-up buyers and would consist of larger, detached single family homes and waterfront properties. With 269 active listings, this segment makes up 48% of the total market inventory. However, only about 39% of the homes sold last month fell into this price range. Home buyers looking to buy can expect an average price of about $670,000, with a median days on market of 6 days, and selling for an average of 1.2% above list price.
Home For Sale Above $1,000,000 in AACo
Luxury real estate in Anne Arundel County is highly concentrated around the waterfront spanning out from Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay. With 91 properties for sale, the luxury segment makes up just 16% of the active inventory. Those with the means to purchase a home in this price range can expect an average price point of $1,550,000, with a median days on market of 5 days, but are selling for an average of 0.9% below the list price.
