Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Dorchester County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory is relatively high in Dorchester County, with 323 active listings in September and 6.4 months of supply, well above Maryland’s 3.7 months and consistent with its current buyer’s market label. Contract activity has slowed, as homes sold dropped 27 percent year over year and pending sales are down nearly 29 percent from a year ago.
Pricing is adjusting to this cooler demand, with the typical home value down about 3 percent year over year even as the median list price is up roughly 5 percent. Sellers are achieving an average of about 97 percent of their list price, and only about 10 percent of homes are closing above asking, a noticeable decline from the prior month.
Homes are taking longer to move, with the median days on market up to 96, roughly 29 percent higher than a year ago and well above many faster-moving parts of Maryland. New listings did jump more than 28 percent from August, but they remain down by about a third compared with last year, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent who understands how to navigate this shifting market and advocate for their needs.
Dorchester County offers residents a welcoming, nature-rich community with accessible outdoor recreation, strong schools and services, and a vibrant, neighborly culture.
Dorchester County spans much of Maryland’s Lower Eastern Shore, offering a mix of historic towns, waterfront communities, and quiet rural stretches along the Choptank River and the Chesapeake Bay. Residents often center daily life around Cambridge, the county seat, where you will find a working harbor, revitalized downtown blocks, and practical services close at hand.
Outdoor access is a major draw. Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge provides miles of scenic driving, paddling, and cycling routes supported by the visitor center and boardwalk trails. Boaters and anglers make regular use of county landings and the Cambridge Municipal Yacht Basin. Families appreciate the Dorchester County Public Schools system, along with local branches of the Dorchester County Public Library in Cambridge and Hurlock.
Day to day, residents rely on a network of small businesses, waterfront restaurants such as Suicide Bridge Restaurant, and community events like the Cambridge Farmers Market. Health care access includes UM Shore Medical Center at Cambridge and regional providers. Commuters can reach larger job centers using US Route 50 toward Annapolis and Baltimore, while nearby Easton expands shopping, dining, and cultural options.
Whether you are relocating within Dorchester County or arriving from farther away, a knowledgeable local agent can explain neighborhood nuances, flood zones, and market trends. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with the right real estate professional so your move through this waterfront county is more informed and less stressful.

“Will is THE BEST. We worked with him in 2020 to buy our Salisbury, MD and then worked with him to sell our home in 2024. He is local to Maryland and is very knowledgeable about the area. He made our move from Virginia to Maryland really easy. After we closed on our Salisbury house he brought us an entire gift basket full of local goodies and made us feel welcome. If you are looking to buy or sell a house in Maryland then Will is the guy you want!”

“This is the second time I’ve partnered with Ed at the Slavis Group, and I can say with no hesitation you will not find a more dedicated, attentive, and knowledgable team to support your real estate project. With Ed’s help it took less than a month to go from looking at investment properties in the DMV to closing on a house in Alexandria VA. In that time Ed and his team provided all the information I could possibly need, helped me find financing solutions, and negotiated one of the best real estate deals I’ve been a part of. 13 out of 10, would highly recommend!”
“We have moved and purchased several homes in the past 3 years. For our home in Delaware, we were very luck to find Dale. As we all know, the stress of finding a home and then moving can be overwhelming. This is where the professionalism, knowledge, and practical experiences of Dale took over. If he didn't have an answer (very rare) he would research and present the best solution. Without a doubt, Dale is the best Real Estate Partner that we have ever worked with in our home search. You and your Family will benefit working with Dale.”
“We had an exceptional experience working with Laura Anderson during a very difficult time for our family. After losing our father, we needed to sell our mom’s home in Maryland while living in Virginia, and Laura was truly a lifesaver. We first connected with her about six months before listing, and she immediately provided clear, practical advice on how to prepare the home for sale. She went above and beyond by coordinating with vendors on our behalf, which saved us countless trips back and forth. Laura was responsive, compassionate, and always had our family’s best interests in mind. Thanks to her expertise, she was able to secure a great outcome for our mom. We’re incredibly grateful for her support and highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy realtor.”

“As a first-time home buyer in Maryland, working with Dylan and the Sergey Team made the process much easier than I expected.

I’d recommend Dylan and the Sergey Team to anyone looking to buy a home.”

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a smooth, supportive home-buying journey.”
“Brooks was very professional and patient during our home search. We started out looking at homes before we were ready to buy but Brooks was okay to show us homes and he also mentioned to us that he was willing to look at homes for us due to us being far away. We started out looking at older homes and then changed to purchase a new home and he was 100 % behind us.”
“She’s helped me to sell and purchase at the same time. Always with my best interest in mind, as to helping me with my wants and needs in the home. Attentive as pointing out certain things in the home that may be an issue or that I don’t want. Ready to work as in actively communicating with me to let me know which homes are eye catching. Couldn’t be anymore happy working with Tashea. Thank you!”
