THE 'INVENTORY SURGE' ISN'T WHAT IT SEEMS. 🏠
July 2026 data shows a 17.4% jump in active listings across the Baltimore Metro. On paper, it looks like the market is finally opening up. But if you’re an investor looking for single-family detached homes, the reality on the ground is very different.
Headlines often miss the nuance. This "surge" is heavily weighted toward high-end condos and new-build townhomes. In the sub-$400k single-family space: where most of our buy-and-hold and fix-and-flip investors operate: inventory remains incredibly tight.
At UR Home Buyer, we don't just look at the broad stats. We’re in the streets every day finding the investment opportunites properties whether on or off MLS at discounted numbers.
The numbers matter, but the context matters more. If you're struggling to find quality single-family deals in the current market, it's not you: it's the inventory mix.
