Oakland County Year End Real Estate Market Update

Oakland County Michigan Real Estate Market

We will begin rolling out city by city year end market updates beginning Monday February 3rd – Exclusively on Social Media. Make sure you’re following us on Facebook and/or Instagram!

In general, the 2019 real estate market ended on a positive note for Southeast Michigan. Closed sales were even with last year and the average sale price has been up 4%. Inventory levels which had been falling, were actually up in 2019. In the spring they were up by 20%! But as we move into 2020, it is currently expected inventory may start to drop. A drop in year over year inventory levels could limit buyer options and overall sales.

Oakland County closed the year with inventories down 13% from the same time last year, which isn’t entirely unusual for December, but a possible indicator of things to come. The number of sales closed was down 1%, however the value of the homes sold was up 2%.

Foreclosures are also still trending downward. Of all the sales in Oakland County for 2019, only 271 were bank owned, down about 30% from 2018 and down 95% from 2008.

We expect more of the same in 2020, with buyers seeking move in ready homes that don’t need much work, vs fixer uppers and homes that lack updates. These homes will need to compensate in price, for what they lack in updates, to convince buyers to take on the work themselves.

Here is this years “schedule of events” for the Social Media releases, comment below if your city isn’t featured and you’d like to see it ,we’ll get it added in! ⁠

Southeast Michigan Summer 2019 Market Update

Southeast Michigan Real Estate Market Update

 

Is the Fixer Upper Era Over?

Despite HGTV showing everyone how to be a “Real Estate Expert” most buyers are gravitating towards turn key properties. The problem is, a majority of the inventory on the market needs work. Homeowners stopped updating during the recession which worked for the market then (everyone wanting a fixer upper), but now the busy lifestyle of most working families has put a hault on the fixer upper mentality.

The moral of the story, buyers want move in ready, and will pay a premium for it. Most updated properties are under contract in less than a week and buyers would rather wait for the next one than consider a home that needs finishing touches, mechanical updates, or even small repairs.

Home that lack recent updates that fit today’s style and trends, will take longer to sell, and generally require a lower asking price.

Southeast Michigan

Southeast Michigan Summer 2019 Market Update

 

On market inventories are the rise. As of June 1 inventory was 18% higher compared to the same time last year. The # of closed sales remains the same as last year, but the average price is up 2-3%. We’re still seeing seller’s market conditions in the entry to mid level price ranges, but supply levels jump in the over $500k price range, leaning this market in the buyers favor.

Oakland County

Oakland County Summer 2019 Market Update

In Oakland County specifically, there are almost 20% more homes on the market now than this time last year, but the number of closed sales is actually down about 3%. Pricing is pretty stable with a 1-2% jump in sale prices. Despite the increased inventory the market in Oakland County still favors the seller in the under $400k price ranges. $400k and up is more balanced with sales up slightly and values beginning to level out.

Summary

If you’re a seller with an active listing that has been on the market over 2 weeks, you should be looking at regular price reductions until activity is steady. Thinking about selling? Consider updates first. Buyers want home with major mechanical items recently updated and homes in move in condition. Paint and flooring at the very least will increase the appeal. Check out www.michiganhomevalues.net for an instant market analysis on your property to check out its current value. Buyers, if you’re not finding what you’re looking for you may need to look at increasing your budget. Move in ready homes are now top shelf merchandise, alternatively you could consider a fixer upper. While remodeling costs are also up, you’re going to absorb the cost whether you buy a higher priced already done home, or a cheaper fixer upper.
