This chart and map track recent movements in single-family home sales in Howard and Carroll counties by ZIP Code. The chart lists sales volume and median price for January 1992, the most recent month available, and compares those figures to 1991 statistics.

In future weeks, charts and maps will appear for: Harford County, Anne Arundael County, and Baltimore and Baltimore County. The next metro-wide roundup of sales activity will appear in late June.

These figures show general residential real estate price trends, and should not be misconstrued to show the relative increase or decrease in value of any particular property.
