The data comes as Maryland's housing market continues to shift slightly toward buyers, according to a pair of reports from Redfin, a real estate brokerage platform.

Buyers may be gaining negotiating power as homes sit longer on the market, though mortgage rates remain elevated.

A growing number of sellers are adjusting to the weaker demand by cutting prices. In the Baltimore metropolitan area, sellers slashed prices on just over 31 percent of homes, according to Redfin. The average price cut was about 7.3 percent, or $31,765.
