State?s real estate market returning to normal pace

Maryland?s residential real estate market is returning to normal ? neither booming nor busting, industry insiders say.

The market “has returned to a more normal pace so that buyers actually have the opportunity to take their time,” said Jody Landers, executive vice president of the Greater Baltimore Board of Realtors. Homes stayon the market for about two months, compared to less than 30 days last year.
