MLK Weekend Open House Extravaganza: Kicking Off the Spring Market in Ocean City

This Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, the Ocean City real estate market is officially shifting into spring—and buyers and sellers alike are paying attention.

At Atlantic Shores Sotheby’s International Realty, we’re hosting an Ocean City Open House Extravaganza, featuring multiple properties across the island and surrounding coastal communities. With the best interest rates we’ve seen in over three years, this weekend creates a rare window of opportunity.

Why Now Is the Time to Buy in Ocean City

After several years of tight inventory and rising rates, the market has changed. Mortgage rates have dropped into the low 6% range, dramatically improving affordability, while inventory across Ocean City and Worcester County has increased. That means buyers finally have options—and leverage.

This weekend, buyers can:

  • Tour multiple homes in one trip

  • Compare neighborhoods, price points, and property types

  • Negotiate with more confidence than in recent years

This is the most balanced Ocean City market we’ve seen since before 2020.

A Head Start on the Spring Market

Historically, Ocean City’s spring market brings increased competition, higher prices, and multiple-offer situations—especially for well-located condos and beach homes. MLK weekend gives buyers a chance to get ahead of that wave, while sellers benefit from motivated, rate-conscious buyers who are ready to act.

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time,” this weekend may be it.

Open Houses Done Right

Our Open House Extravaganza isn’t just about opening doors—it’s about showcasing Ocean City homes with maximum exposure and knowledgeable agents who understand the nuances of coastal real estate, from condo rules to rental potential and long-term value.

Whether you’re looking for a primary residence, a second home, or an investment property, this weekend is your chance to explore what Ocean City has to offer—without the pressure of peak-season competition.

The Bottom Line

Ocean City is entering its spring real estate season earlier than usual. Rates are down. Inventory is up. Opportunity is real.
