Buying a home near Lake Michigan is exciting. Overpaying for it? That’s not the move.

The spring housing market is ramping up — but here’s the reality: real estate is local.

Coldwell Banker® surveyed more than 700 agents nationwide to identify the five trends shaping the 2026 market. The big takeaway? Buyers are re-engaging. Sellers are making moves, even with low locked-in rates. And every market is behaving differently.

That matters in Harbor Country, Michigan and Northwest Indiana.

A lakefront home in Long Beach is not the same market as a cottage in Union Pier. New Buffalo is not Sawyer. Michiana Shores is not Beverly Shores. Pricing, buyer demand, second-home activity, inventory, condition, and lifestyle value all shift town by town.

Swipe through for the national headlines — then let’s talk about what they mean locally.

Thinking about buying or selling near Lake Michigan this spring? Team Popp can help you understand the market, position your home correctly, and make a smarter move.
