Frederick County prices are up, inventory is up, and buyers finally have options again.

After several years with some of the lowest inventory in the region, Frederick saw new listings climb 23% in October, while the median sold price got a nice bump to $495K. Fewer homes settled than last year, though, which means sellers need to be more strategic than ever to stand out.
