With steady economic and employment growth in our area, and our continued low interest rates, there has never been a better time to buy or sell a home in Southeast Michigan.




Statistics show that in the $150,000 and under price range, sales have picked up and inventory continues to fall. Sellers in this range are smiling, but buyers are getting very frustrated.

In the $250,000 price range, sales have been strong all year. However, in the last 90 days, we've noticed a slowing trend in inventory. Of course, this means conditions are getting better and better for sellers in this range.

In the $500,000 to $1 million price range, we are seeing slowing sales and a growth in inventory. This is the move-up market, where many sellers are buyers. So, the pace of buying and selling are generally hand-in-hand in the market segment.

Sales have slowed considerably in the luxury market of homes priced over $1 million. The continued rise in inventory has caused values to flatten, and in some market areas, even decline.

Overall, the market is making a shift from a strong seller's market to a more balanced market, which is great. There is no bad news here, just different news, which will require buyers and sellers to set new expectations.
