From the Broker
“DOM is up in every county, but prices haven't followed. Sellers still have leverage. The window to list at peak pricing is open, but it won't be for long in markets like Macomb.”

For Buyers
Rising days on market gives you more room to evaluate, but prices are still climbing. Getting pre-approved and having a clear strategy before you start looking is still essential. The right home still goes fast.
For Sellers
Values are up year-over-year across every county, but longer market times mean accurate pricing and strong presentation matter more than they did in 2024–2025. Overpriced homes are sitting. Well-prepared listings are still selling.
