A Severn River waterfront house at 508 Ashberry Ln in Severna Park sold for $2.20 million, the highest-priced home sale publicly reported in the Baltimore, Maryland metro area for the week ending August 9, 2026. The five leading closings reported across the metro that week combined for $9.90 million in Baltimore-area real estate.
The week’s sales were recorded in West Severna Park, Shady Oaks Manor, Queenstown, Willowcreek and Pindell Chase, and their build years run from 1969 to 2022. Water access recurs through the top of the list: the leading sale carries a private boathouse on the Severn River, the No. 2 house sits on the West River behind a deep-water pier, and the No. 3 property in Queenstown holds its own sandy beach front. The last two closings, in Dayton and Fulton, are inland houses on lots of about an acre.
