The numbers from the first half of 2026 show continued demand across the Deep Creek Lake and Garrett County market:
📈 $145 million in residential sales volume—up from $104 million last year
🏠 200 homes sold—compared to 176 in 2025
💰 56 homes over $1 million sold or under contract—up from 30
🌊 41 lakefront properties sold—nearly double last year’s total
Buyers have more choices than they did a year ago, but desirable lakefront and lake-access properties—especially those with dedicated boat slips—remain limited.
For sellers, accurate pricing and strong presentation are more important than ever. Buyers may be taking a little more time, but well-positioned properties are still attracting attention.
Thinking about buying or selling at Deep Creek Lake? Mike and I would be happy to help you understand what these numbers mean for your specific goals.
