Metro Detroit Housing Market Predictions 2018

This month’s Metro Detroit Real Estate Market for July 2018 continues to hold down frustrated Buyers while Sellers still see a shining bright spot: Homes for sale inventory is down 19.8% from 2017 and, with fewer homes selling, the median sales price is up 7.0%.

The chatter about housing price bubbles has increased this summer, as observers attempt to predict the next shift in the residential real estate market. It is far too early to predict a hard shift away from higher prices and lower inventory, but the common markers that caused the last housing market downturn are essentially present…demand is still outpacing what is available for sale in many markets.

July saw a total of 8,921 condominiums and single family homes sell throughout the multiple listing service. Comparing the number of sales last year for July 2017, this is up 3.3% for single-family homes, and up 8.3% for condos. Read More Here!
