Montgomery County Real Estate Market Update – September 2025
By Snezhana Homes Group
📉 Montgomery County Home Prices Show Slight Dip
The Montgomery County real estate market in September 2025 is shifting toward balance after years of heated activity. According to the latest reports, home prices have softened by about 1–2% year-over-year, with the median sales price near $630,000.
Homes are also taking longer to sell—33 days on average, compared to just 21 days at this time last year. For buyers in the DC metro housing market, this creates more breathing room. For sellers in Montgomery County, it highlights the importance of competitive pricing and strong presentation.

📈 Inventory Growth Gives Buyers More Options
One of the most significant trends this fall is the rise in housing inventory across Montgomery County, Maryland. New listings have jumped 20–55% compared to 2024, with noticeable growth in Gaithersburg, Bethesda, and Silver Spring real estate markets.
This means buyers now have more selection and negotiating power, particularly in neighborhoods near Metro stations and the future Purple Line transit corridor.
