Deep Creek Lake - Listing Shortage!

If you follow any active real estate agent on social media, you know that there is a listing shortage like we've never seen before. This is true around the country, and Deep Creek Lake is no exception. Over the past several months, our area has had an incredible boost in the real estate market. Whether folks are buying because of historically low interest rates, a place to escape during a global pandemic, or simply because they're ready to make their dreams come true, the Deep Creek Lake housing market has exploded.

Typically, the winter season would bring us a more relaxed real estate market. That has not proven to be the case during the winter of 2020. This weekend alone, I put three homes under contract!
