Southern Maryland Real Estate Market

There is one aspect of real estate that holds true regardless of real estate market conditions -

Real Estate is LOCAL.

 The media presents a very generalized picture of what is occurring in the real estate market, many times basing reporting on overall national statistics. Depending on the real estate market, national statistics may have very little or no relevance to what is occurring in a particular local market.

The most recent Calvert County and St. Mary's County median statistics are included here:
