The 2024 Forecast for Annapolis Real Estate: What to Expect

02 Jan 2024 by Annapolis Real Estate Expert

As we embark on 2024, individuals looking to buy or sell homes are keenly interested in the trajectory of the Annapolis real estate market. After extraordinary growth, 2023 marked a return to more traditional market conditions, akin to the pre-Covid era. This shift is something we predict will continue throughout 2024.

Our team at Long & Foster Real Estate is excited to share our predictions and insights for the Annapolis real estate market in the coming year, focusing on the trends that will shape the experience of both buyers and sellers.

1. **Persistent Limited Home Inventory:**

A key characteristic of the current market is the continuing shortage of available homes. Compared to the years before the pandemic, we’re witnessing roughly half the usual listings. This is highlighted in Long & Foster’s October 2023 Market Conditions Report, underscoring the challenges of purchasing a home.

2. **Variable Mortgage Rates:**

Mortgage rates have been erratic lately. We saw 30-year fixed rates momentarily surpass 8% in autumn, only to experience a decrease in November. With the Federal Reserve anticipating halt rate increases in the latter half of 2024, we expect more stability in this area.

3. **Consistent Rise in Home Values:**

Across major metropolitan areas where Long & Foster has a presence, from Charleston in South Carolina to the Jersey Shore, there’s been a noticeable continuous increase in home prices. Despite some potential buyers holding out for a price drop, the ongoing low inventory coupled with strong demand means prices are likely to keep rising.

**What These Trends Mean for You:**

If you’re planning to enter the Annapolis real estate market in 2024, either as a buyer or a seller, it’s vital to be aware of these trends. Keep in mind, however, that local market conditions may vary from these general predictions. I want you to know that partnering with a Long & Foster real estate professional, like myself, who has deep local market knowledge and extensive industry experience, will be crucial in reaching your real estate objectives for the year.
