Curious about what is happening in the Maryland Real Estate Market? Maryland REALTORS® has a monthly infographic that compared September 2022 to the market in September 2022.

sellingwithdana: What I've learned about growing my business

I'd look at the number of properties that sold each month, the month with the highest prices sold, and the month homes that sold most quickly. If you are curious when it the best time to sell your home, the time is:
