Alpena County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Alpena County real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Alpena County is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge at 25 indicating a modest advantage for those listing homes. Inventory sits at 52 homes and months of supply is 3.1, suggesting buyers have options but not an abundance. Typical home value is about $157,000, noticeably lower than the Michigan average of $270,200.
Recent trends help explain this seller-leaning setup. Inventory has risen 6.12% month over month but remains 17.46% lower than a year ago, and new listings are down 16.67% annually, which keeps selection relatively tight. Homes are also moving faster, with median days on market dropping from earlier levels to 48 days, a steep 57.89% month-over-month decline and 7.69% lower than last year, while roughly 35% of sales close above the list price and sellers receive about 99.1% of asking on average.
Prices show a mixed story, with typical home value up 6.8% since last month but still down 25.24% compared to a year ago, and the median list price at $209,900 after a 4.55% monthly dip. Looking ahead to April 2026, typical values are projected to edge up to around $162,000, median list price to adjust to about $204,900, and inventory to hold near 53 homes. With 20 new listings, 21 pending sales, and only 9.62% of listings seeing price drops, both buyers and sellers can benefit from working with an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate professional to navigate this evolving market.

“I can’t say enough great things about Tiffanie. She went above and beyond to help me sell my home—truly exceeding every expectation. Even while preparing for her own wedding and later dealing with the flu, Tiffanie remained attentive, professional, and fully committed to getting my house sold. Her dedication, communication, and work ethic never wavered, and I always felt like a priority. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and selfless, especially during such a busy and challenging season of life. I am incredibly grateful for her support and would highly recommend Tiffanie to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares and delivers results.”

“Hi,it was a great experience working with Jodi. She is very professional realtor. She makes sure that you understand every situation,and process that you face . When it came time to look for houses Jodi got right on it . We started out looking for houses on the East side of the city, and made sure what tipe of house and location where you want to live . It was not an easy task, but after looking at twelve houses it took a lot of energy . We stayed on the look until we got finished. After looking on the East side we started looking on the west side . We looked at nine more houses on the west side. Out of the nine houses on the west side it was one house that caught my eyes. I did fine three houses on the east side, but nether house did not have a driveway. The house that caught me eyes on the west side did have a driveway. When I walked in that house on Sorrento it was everything I was looking for. I told Jodi we did not have to look no further. I put in a bid,and went for it and was.”

Since he has construction experience, I felt completely comfortable with him guiding me in what to ignore and what to pay close attention to when reviewing home inspections.

I can't be more thankful for crossing paths with Jeremy, and I highly recommend him to anyone who might be selling or purchasing a home in the future.”

“Natasha was absolutely wonderful to work with! She answered all of our questions quickly and was incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process. She was easy to talk to, always available when we needed her, and truly made the experience of buying our first home far less intimidating. Because we were across the country for much of the process, Natasha went above and beyond by attending many open houses on our behalf, something we appreciated so much. She was flexible, supportive, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Thank you for everything, Natasha! We loved getting to know you and will definitely call you when it’s time to sell. ☺️”
