🏡 West Michigan Market Update

New pending sales slightly outpaced new listings this week, a sign that buyer demand remains steady even as inventory growth temporarily slows. With school starting and summer winding down, many sellers are waiting to make their next move.

We typically see activity pick back up after Labor Day, when more homeowners enter the market and buyers settle into their fall routines. That could mean fresh opportunities for buyers—and renewed competition among sellers.

Whether you’re preparing to sell or waiting for the right home to hit the market, having a plan in place now can help you move confidently when the time comes. I’d be happy to help you put one together.

🏡 West Michigan Market Update

The market continues to move, but buyers are becoming more selective and taking a little more time before making decisions. New inventory has gradually expanded, creating more competition among sellers and giving buyers choices they haven’t had in recent months.

West Michigan still has less than two months of active inventory, so we remain firmly in a seller’s market. Homes that are priced appropriately, prepared well, and marketed effectively continue to attract strong interest—while properties that miss the mark may sit longer.

Hopefully, the upcoming fall market will bring another wave of inventory and create more opportunities for buyers. If you’re curious what the changing market means for your home’s value or your next purchase, I’d be happy to help you build a strategy.

🏡 West Michigan Market Update
Listing activity remains steady, while new sales have slowed somewhat. Mortgage rates have reached their highest levels of 2026, putting additional pressure on buyer affordability.

Inventory continues to build gradually across West Michigan, giving buyers more options than they’ve had in recent months. Even so, we remain well short of a balanced market, with less than two months of active inventory. Well-priced, well-prepared homes are still attracting strong interest and selling quickly.

If you’re wondering what these conditions mean for your home’s value—or considering a purchase while buyers have more options—I’d be happy to help you develop a strategy.

🏡 West Michigan Market Update
New listings nearly doubled compared to the previous week, while pending sales held steady—a sign that buyer demand continues to keep pace despite the increase in available homes.

Inventory is gradually building across West Michigan, giving buyers more options than they've had in recent months. Even so, we're still well below what would be considered a balanced market, with less than two months of active inventory available. Well-priced, well-prepared homes continue to attract strong interest and sell quickly.

If you're wondering what these market conditions mean for your home's value—or if you're thinking about buying before competition picks up even more—I'd be happy to help you put together a strategy.
