Anne Arundel County — anchored by Annapolis, Severna Park, and Arnold — remains one of the Baltimore-Washington corridor's most desirable waterfront markets. Kimberly Barton of Kinetic Realty, Inc. pulls current MLS-sourced data directly from the live Anne Arundel County market report to help buyers and sellers make sense of where this market stands right now — countywide and city by city.
A note on days on market: this report doesn't include days-on-market figures. Every individual listing in this capture — countywide and across all three spotlighted cities — shows a missing or "Unknown" DOM value, which appears to be a temporary data-tracking issue on the source site rather than a real shift in the market. We'd rather leave this stat out than report an unreliable number.

Highest-Priced Active Listings

City Address Area List Price Beds Baths Living Sq Ft
Severna Park Old County Rd $12,975,000 6 11 15,737
Annapolis Franklin St $12,500,000 5 7 5,993
Arnold Cresston Rd $2,195,000 5 5 3,603

Note: the countywide capture's single highest listing ($18,000,000, implying over $6,500/sq ft) is an extreme land-value outlier that didn't match any of the three spotlighted cities' own results, and is excluded from the table above.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For Buyers

  • Arnold offers the most accessible entry point of the three spotlighted cities, with the deepest typical home size relative to price
  • Severna Park's tight sale-to-list ratio (~99.7%) suggests limited negotiating room on well-priced listings there
  • With countywide sold prices landing essentially at list price, buyers should expect very little room to negotiate on accurately-priced homes
  • Working with a local agent like Kimberly Barton helps buyers see which Anne Arundel County listings are priced in line with what's actually converting to contract

For Sellers

  • Arnold's sold prices landing slightly above list (~100.2%) points to strong buyer demand at that price point
  • Annapolis sellers with waterfront or luxury properties should lean on recent sold comparables rather than the active average, given how much the top tier can skew that number
