Information and statistics on the latest trends in the La Plata real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
The typical home value in La Plata is projected to be $373,350 for the month of March. February’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $405,500—down 11.9% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $439,000 in Charles County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $445,240 in March.
La Plata had 18 new listings and 20 listings that went under contract in February, decreasing the area’s total available inventory to 45—down 15.09% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further decreased in March.
Of those 45 active listings, 22.22% reduced their price in the month of February. The median listing price for homes in La Plata fell 0.07% from January to February, bringing the current median listing price to $429,700. Based on projected data for March, listing prices may continue to fall.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract fell year-over-year. In February 2026, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 78 days, compared to 94 days in February 2025. However, in recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be rising. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this March.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
