๐ก Mid-Michigan Weekly Market Snapshot: August 15 โ 21
Hemlock saw one new listing this week: a 2-bedroom home on 0.63 acres near Frost Rd priced at $169,500. There are now 11 active listings (avg. $292K, median $285K). One home went pending: a 3-bedroom ranch on 2.9 acres priced at $235K that found a buyer after just 9 days. There are 8 total pendings (avg. $289K). One home closed at the corner of Hemlock and Tittabawassee, selling for $190K after 36 days on market and a price adjustment from $205K. Activity may be slower and more intentional, but buyers ARE there. Sellers need the right price, the right marketing, and sometimes a little patience to reach them.
The greater Tri-Cities region (Saginaw, Bay, Midland counties) posted 110 new listings, 100 new pendings, and 89 closings. Homes sold for an average of $238K (97.9% of list price) with 38 days on market. Despite broader uncertainty surrounding the housing market, our local market continues to show consistent buyer and seller activity. Sellers who price and position their homes correctly remain in a good spot.
The Central Michigan region (Clare, Isabella, Gratiot counties) saw a mid-August rebound with 50 new listings, 22 new pendings, and 59 closings. Homes sold for an average of $231K (98.7% of list price) with 42 days on market. The increase in both listings and closings is another reminder that buyers haven't disappeared.
๐ This is NOT the time to panic over headlines. It's the time to have a plan. If you're thinking about selling, let's talk about how to price, position, and market your home to the buyers who are out there RIGHT NOW.
