Maryland Real Estate market in Q3 2020

Emerick A. Peace

The Maryland real estate market, like every other human activity, was affected by the global pandemic, which led to a notable drop in sales and other real estate activities in the state.

The state, One of the richest states in the U nited States, has an economy that thrives on many industries like bio-health, life sciences, I.T. and cyber-security, manufacturing, in addition to the various aerospace and defence organizations. While not forgetting that the state has over 60 federal agencies located in it and also has the 4th highest percentage of federal workers across the country. What this means is that Maryland is teeming with a population that is always in demand of real estate —both residential and commercial— until the virus kicked in.

Because of the outbreak of the pandemic, the government had to order a lockdown which put enormous pressure on the commercial real estate industry as most of the commercial buildings were either empty or not in use.

However, as life is gradually returning to how we know it to be, we can expect the market to pick up from where it left off before the COVID-19 crisis started. The availability of job growth and high-paying positions can lead to a massive increase in the demand for rentals. The state has been able to sell more housing units in July, where an increase of 8.1% was recorded when compared to the total number of sales made in the previous year.

Presently though, the state unemployment is at 9.7%, but there are signs that the market could be improved due to the economic opportunities that are prevalent in the state.

Baltimore, a city in the state, has a strong renters market, and it captures the situation in the state entirely. Apartments in the state

are luxurious high-rise condos that usually cost between $2,000 per month for a small studio and up to $5,000 or more per month for a penthouse.

Investors who are looking to earn through rent are strongly advised to look into the Maryland real estate market, which allows them to make a pretty much tremendous amount of profit on their investment.

The median property value in Maryland as of July 2020 is $339,900 with Montgomery county selling the most housing units in the month.

Maryland real estate market currently offers buyers an opportunity to generate cash flow through its high rent and it also incentives buying with its low mortgage rate that seeks to draw buyers into investing in the state real estate market.

Basically, in Maryland real estate market, home prices have kept rising regardless of the effect of the pandemic on the economy. Investors can,

therefore, cash in on this by buying properties and putting it up for rent or flipping it.

If what you are seeking is a long term investment, the ideal market to place your investment would be a market that has experienced growth all through the pandemic and appears to be waxing stronger still. That market is the Maryland real estate market.

Thus, investors can be satisfied with the output of the Maryland real estate market and be sure that they can acquire more profits in the remaining quarters of the year.

CENTR AL Editio n with ST EVE PETERS EN

Like the West and East Coast editions, Steve Peterson will be in charge of the Central Edition, mainly overseeing both central related shows and magazines’ production efforts. However, the Central Edition will be different in that much of the shows will focus on Commercial real estate, given Steve’s extensive background in commercial real estate.

Steve is the Broker/Owner of Infinity Investments, a commercial real estate brokerage and investment firm based in Oakland, California. His focus and expertise are in apartment buildings, but he has experience in office and retail property and works as both a broker and principal. Steve has been in the commercial real estate business for 15 years, both as an investor and a broker/agent.
