Frederick serves as the county seat of Frederick County, the largest county by land area in Maryland. It is a city where history and progress meet, offering a skyline famous for its “clustered spires” and a community known for its welcoming, small-town feel despite being the second-largest city in the state. Residents enjoy a high quality of life with a blend of agricultural heritage and a booming biotech and tech sector.
The Frederick real estate market is competitive and diverse. As of early 2026, the median home price in Frederick sits around $433,000 to $515,000, depending on the specific neighborhood and property type. While the market has seen a slight cooldown in pace compared to previous years—with homes staying on the market for an average of 57 to 68 days—it remains a seller’s market due to low inventory. For buyers, this means a professional home inspection is a critical tool for negotiation and long-term financial planning.
We provide comprehensive inspections across all Frederick communities, including:
Downtown Frederick: Famous for historic 18th and 19th-century architecture and the scenic Carroll Creek Linear Park.
Baker Park: A highly sought-after, established area surrounding a 58-acre park, featuring beautiful Colonial Revival and Victorian homes.
Worman’s Mill: A popular planned community on the north end, perfect for those seeking modern amenities and a neighborhood feel.
Ballenger Creek: A hub for commuters and young families, offering a variety of newer townhomes and single-family residences.
Whittier: Known for its scenic lake, green spaces, and community-focused atmosphere.
When you aren’t house hunting, Frederick offers endless exploration. You can catch a Frederick Keys baseball game at Harry Grove Stadium, explore the National Museum of Civil War Medicine, or enjoy “Alive at Five” happy hours along the creek. For outdoor enthusiasts, the nearby Catoctin Mountains provide some of the best hiking and scenic overlooks in the region.
Don’t leave your future to chance. Gotsch Inspections delivers the detailed, honest assessment you deserve before you sign on the dotted line.
