NORTH BETHESDA, Md., April 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fueled by more new listings, supply has increased for the second month in a row in the Mid-Atlantic. Despite elevated mortgage rates and the "lock in" effect, changing family or financial situations are leading more homeowners to list their home for sale. More inventory is a welcome sign for homebuyers in the Mid-Atlantic, but overall supply is still low. The number of active listings at the end of March was less than half of what was available at the end of March 2019.

Key Points: 
  • This is two days faster than a year ago, and much quicker than a more typical housing market.
  • Mortgage rates will come down later in 2024, which could bring both more buyers and more sellers into the market.
  • NORTH BETHESDA, Md., April 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fueled by more new listings, supply has increased for the second month in a row in the Mid-Atlantic.
  • Bright MLS March 2024 Housing Report: Mid-Atlantic inventory increases for the second month in a row
