Market report · Fall 2026

The Macomb County market, in plain English.

This is what the numbers actually say about the Macomb County market heading into late 2026: prices still climbing at a quieter pace, inventory at multi-year highs, and buyers with real room to negotiate. Here are the figures, the sources, and Doni's honest read on what they mean for you.

Prices: up, but gentler

Macomb County's median sale price settled at about $248,400 in November 2025, and quarterly medians across that year landed between roughly $240,000 and $265,000. Listing prices average a bit higher than sale prices, which is another way of saying realistic pricing is what actually moves a house. The double-digit jumps of the early 2020s are over; steady, modest growth is the 2026 pattern.

Inventory: the big shift

On-market listings hit counts the county hasn't seen in five years: about 1,815 listings in December 2025, up 16.4% from a year earlier, after peaking near 2,300 single-family homes in late September. More choices means less bidding-war panic for most buyers. The exception stays the same: correctly priced, well-maintained homes still sell in days.

Speed: slower, saner

Median days on market ran around 48 days in December 2025, up from the single weeks of the peak era. Buyers, that is time to think and to negotiate. Sellers, that is why the first two weeks of exposure matter more than ever; a house that overprices simply ages into a price cut.

The whole metro

Across Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and Livingston, the median price hit about $332,500 in August 2025, up 4.4% year over year, with supply around 2.8 months. Economists read that as a balanced-to-buyer market; Doni reads it as a market where both sides can win if they're priced and prepared properly.

Doni's read

What the headlines are missing.

If you're buying

Your leverage is real. Negotiate repairs, request credits, and take your time on dated inventory. But act on the ones that fit: the well-priced, well-kept home still draws competition, and rate changes can move the math overnight. Get pre-approved now; shop when it's real.

If you're selling

This is a pricing market, not a waiting market. The house that shows well and prices to its street's sold data still sells fast and for a strong number. The house that holds out for 2021 money sits while the calendar turns. A pre-listing walkthrough with Doni tells you which one yours is.
