🏡 Macomb County Real Estate Update | Fourth Quarter 2026

What is happening in our local real estate market as we head toward the end of the year?

The latest numbers tell an interesting story!

📈 Home prices are holding up. Macomb County's median sale price was approximately $281,500 in September, up 2.8% from the same time last year.

🏠 Inventory is increasing. Buyers have more homes to choose from, creating opportunities to compare properties and negotiate.

📊 Sales activity has slowed. Closed sales and pending sales are down compared with last year, making proper pricing and a strong marketing strategy more important than ever.

💰 Mortgage rates remain an important factor. The latest official weekly average available as of Oct showed a 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 7.32%. Individual rates vary based on credit, down payment and loan terms.

What does this mean for buyers and sellers?

Buyers may have more choices and negotiating opportunities than they did during the most competitive markets. Sellers can still achieve successful results, but pricing realistically and presenting a home well are essential.

The fourth quarter isn't a time to assume the market has stopped. It's a time to understand the numbers, recognize the opportunities and make informed decisions.

As a Realtor serving Macomb, Oakland and St. Clair counties, I believe local knowledge, experience and strong negotiation matter in every market.

Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, downsizing or simply wondering what your home is worth, I'm always happy to help you understand your options.

Real estate isn't one-size-fits-all. Let's create a plan that works for you.

🏡 Thinking About Selling Your Home in Michigan? Don't Overlook the Power of an Open House!

An open house is more than just opening the front door! It’s an opportunity to bring buyers inside, let them experience the home in person, and picture themselves living there.

Attract buyers who may not have scheduled a private showing.
Create additional exposure for your listing.
Give buyers the chance to explore the home at their own pace.
Potentially spark interest from multiple buyers.

In Michigan’s ever-changing real estate market, every opportunity to showcase your home matters!

One important thing to remember: An open house doesn't guarantee an offer, but the right preparation, pricing, and marketing can help make it count.

🏡 Thinking about selling? Let's create a strategy that puts your home in the best position to stand out!
