Spring has officially arrived in the housing market. 🌱
Low average discounts show sellers are holding strong, while days on market continue trending down—pulling the yearly average with it.

Momentum is building in Tittabawassee Township!

In today’s fast-paced market especially, getting pre-approved is the first step before searching for homes.

Spring market is starting to boom!

We’re seeing days on market continue to drop, but there’s one piece of the market that stands out right now...homes priced $400K+ in Tittabawassee Township.

So far this year, 5 homes have sold in that range.
2 were over $700K… and the other 3 were under $450K.

Here’s the interesting part:
Those $400K–$450K homes are averaging 175 days on market.

That’s not something we’re seeing in other Mid-Michigan markets.

So what’s going on?

Is it buyers stretching a bit higher into new construction instead?
Is new build inventory pulling buyers in that bracket demand away?
Or are some of these homes priced based on build cost rather than true market value?

Truth is, it’s probably a mix of all three.

What matters most is this:
Whether you’re buying or selling, understanding pricing strategy matters more than ever.

Not “list high and hope.”
Not “price low and pray for a bidding war.”

Make a decision backed by real data—so you can position yourself to be as successful as possible.

Wondering where your home actually fits in today’s market? Shoot me a message.

April inspections bring May move-ins....or something like that!

Proud to support our youth!!

The 14U Firehawks wrapped up their indoor off season schedule at SVSU last night with a doubleheader scrimmage. The boys went 1-1 last night defeating SplitFinger baseball 2-1 and then lost to Midland Elite Explorers 2-0. Our pitchers excelled by allowing only 5 hits total in 2 games. Matteo Aimar (4 Ks, 0 allowed hits) Riley Blohm (2 Ks, 0 BB) and Cam Sabo (2 Ks, 1 hit) pitched two innings each to shut down SplitFinger and the Explorers.
The Tyler DuRussel Modern Realty sponsor game changing performance goes to Kaden Koepf who was an absolute wall at 3B last night with a 100% fielding percentage at the hot corner. His quick glove and reflexes were amazing!

A beautiful 70s home is about to get a revamp!

4 months in the making....

I couldn't be happier for my home buyer signing those papers today.

Not all home transactions are smooth. There are so many curve balls that can come across the plate unexpectedly. That's why your team matters more than anything. I'm incredibly thankful for all involved in this one!

February numbers are in for Tittabawassee Township and this month tells a better story than the last two.

10 homes sold. For February, that’s healthy activity. Buyers are out there.

What really stands out is pace and pricing.
Average days on market jumped to 62...nearly double last year’s average. Only 1 home sold above asking.

That breaks down to:
• 1 over ask
• 4 at list (85.5 avg days on market)
• 5 under list (111 avg days on market)

Buyers aren’t rushing. If a home is priced at the very top of the suggested market range, even with data behind it, they’re willing to let it sit.

It feels a bit like a standoff right now, one in which sellers are testing price ceilings, and buyers testing patience.

That said, one home did pend in 3 days and closed $25,000 over asking (-7% discount)

That says buyers will absolutely move... when they see value.

This isn’t a slow market by any stretch. It is however, an increasingly strategic one.
