Welcoming 2026: Gratitude, Warm Wishes & Waterfront Highlights

Dear friends,

We are delighted to welcome you into the final sprint of 2025, a time when the real estate market naturally slows ahead of the holidays and prepares to enter the New Year with renewed energy. It's a special season filled with reflection, anticipation, and a sense of possibility. Next month, we will send you a full analysis of the 2025 Waterfront Market and some early thoughts on the 2026 market, but — at a quick glance — Anne Arundel County sales were up 11.5%, Queen Anne County sales were up 15%, and Talbot County is holding steady. This is a strong positioning as we approach the new year.

During this time of reflection, we are deeply grateful for the privilege of working with clients, friends, and colleagues who have trusted our family for more than 30 years. Your confidence in our work, your continued support, and your generous referrals remain the foundation of Buckley Waterfront Homes' success. May 2026 bring you and your loved ones new and interesting opportunities, as well as reasons to celebrate. We're excited for what we can create and accomplish together in the year ahead!

Warmest holiday wishes,

Reid & Meagan
