Summary: Has housing in the Baltimore region changed from a buyer's market to a seller's market? And why is the total number of houses on the market so low? We look at the latest real estate numbers with regional economist Daraius Irani of Towson University and The Baltimore Sun's Steve Kilar. Then, Andrew Zaleski, lead reporter for the news site Technically Baltimore, joins Nathan to talk about data maps that detail where property taxes hit hardest or where vacants color a neighborhood and other regional tech news.
