From the Broker
“Macomb DOM is up 50% YoY. That market is shifting. Sellers pricing to 2024 comps are sitting. Oakland is still tight, know your county before you price.”

For Buyers
Macomb and Wayne are giving you more time, but prices are still rising. Oakland at 10 days means well-priced homes there still move fast. Get pre-approved and be ready to act, especially in Oakland and Livingston.
For Sellers
Oakland and Livingston, properly priced homes are selling in under two weeks. In Macomb and Wayne, expect a longer runway and invest in presentation. Pricing to 2024 comps in a slowing market is the most expensive mistake you can make.
