So what's actually happening in the SE Michigan housing market right now?

Prices are up about 3-4% year over year. Inventory is growing but still tight. Mortgage rates are sitting in the low to mid 6% range. And homes under $300K that are move-in ready? Still competitive.

We put together an honest breakdown of what all of this means for buyers, sellers, and investors in Metro Detroit, Oakland County, Macomb County, and Wayne County.

No hype, no spin. Just the real numbers and what they mean for your next move.

Since the NAR settlement, buyers are now required to sign a buyer broker agreement before touring any home. That's a good thing. It creates transparency.

But here's the problem: some buyers are accidentally signing agreements with two different agents, and that's creating real legal and financial headaches.

We wrote a blog breaking down what a buyer broker agreement actually is, why signing two can cause serious problems, and what to do before you put your name on anything.

If you're buying a home or you're an agent, this one's worth reading.

Can you work with multiple real estate agents? Here's what buyers need to know about exclusive buyer broker agreements, the risks of signing more than one, and how to protect yourself.
