Sell Your House Fast in Maryland
We Buy Houses Across Maryland in Any Condition, Any Situation
Maryland homeowners deal with DC commuter market pressures, aging Baltimore housing stock, Bay-related flooding, and high property and transfer taxes. Keyheart buys houses for cash across Maryland.
The Maryland Real Estate Market
Maryland's housing market is anchored by the DC commuter belt (Montgomery, Prince George's, Howard counties) and the Baltimore metro. Older Baltimore neighborhoods have softer demand and significant inventory of aging row houses, while waterfront properties on the Chesapeake Bay face increasing flooding pressure.
What Maryland Sellers Need to Know
Maryland uses primarily judicial foreclosure with a typical timeline of about 90 days. Maryland has a homestead tax credit that caps annual property tax increases, but the homestead exemption from creditors is limited ($25,000-$45,000 depending on county). Maryland has both a state estate tax and a state inheritance tax.
Common Situations We Help Maryland Homeowners Solve
- Aging Baltimore row houses with structural and lead paint issues
- Tidal flooding on Eastern Shore and Bay-front properties
- DC commute belt properties with relocations to Virginia or West Virginia
- Pre-foreclosure homeowners using the 90-day judicial timeline to find alternatives
- Inherited family homes complicated by Maryland's estate and inheritance taxes

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling in Maryland
Will you buy an old Baltimore row house?
Yes. We buy Baltimore row houses including those with lead paint, structural issues, original wiring and plumbing, and deferred maintenance. Vacant and boarded-up properties are fine too.
How does Maryland's estate and inheritance tax work?
Maryland is one of the few states with both an estate tax (on estates over $5 million) and an inheritance tax (10% on most non-spouse, non-direct-descendant heirs). Selling an inherited home doesn't trigger these directly — but the home's value is part of the taxable estate.
Will Keyheart buy a flood-prone Bay-front property?
Yes. We buy waterfront properties throughout Maryland's Chesapeake Bay including in areas experiencing increased tidal flooding and rising insurance premiums. Tell us what you have.
Do I owe Maryland state capital gains tax when selling my home?
Maryland taxes capital gains as regular income (up to 5.75% state plus 1.25%-3.2% county). The federal primary-residence exclusion ($250K single / $500K married) applies first. Most homeowners selling their primary residence won't owe Maryland state capital gains tax.
