Baltimore absorbed nearly 8,000 new units over the prior two years heading into Q4 2025, and the effect on rents was modest. Asking rents edged down just 0.1% on a trailing three-month basis through October to $1,752, while occupancy in stabilized assets held at 95.0% in September, 30 basis points above the national average. Developers completed 2,972 units through October, roughly in line with the prior year. Employment growth slowed to 0.2% through August, trailing the national rate, with the metro posting a net loss of 4,400 jobs over 12 months. Investment transactions reached $392 million, continuing a downward trend, though major infrastructure commitments, including the Francis Scott Key Bridge replacement and the Red Line Light Rail corridor, point to long-term structural investment in the region.
