New listings, new pending sales, and closed sales have been stronger in some months and weaker in others. In August, the number of new listings was down 18.5% compared to a year ago, decreasing significantly in Charles County. Pending sales also saw a sharp drop in August 2024, down 16.8%, with pending sales down across all three counties. Both pending sales and new listings are now lower year-todate, down 0.7% and 0.9%, respectively. Closed sales declined in August 2024 as well.
