Alpena County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Alpena County real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Alpena County is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge at 25 out of 100. Inventory sits at 48 homes and months of supply is about 5.3, which is relatively lean. With homes taking a median of 114 days to sell, buyers have time to decide even though supply is limited.
Home values and listing prices have been easing, helping explain this mixed picture. The typical home value is about $147,000, down 18.33% from last year and 8.07% from last month, and it is projected to dip further to around $140,550 in March 2026, while the median list price of $206,450 is down 4.18% month over month and projected at $201,950. Alpena County homes are also much less expensive than the Michigan typical value of $259,500, which may attract value-focused buyers even as overall activity slows.
Fewer homes are hitting the market and fewer are going under contract, which also shapes conditions. New listings are down 46.15% from a year ago to just 14 in the latest month, while pending sales have fallen 32.14% to 19, and no recent sales have closed above list price, with an average sale-to-list ratio of about 0.91 and nearly 23% of listings seeing price drops. With Alpena County showing softer prices but still favoring sellers due to limited options, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a local agent who understands these shifting dynamics.

Thank you both for your professionalism and strong representation.”

“Everything was positiive about dealing with Tom. The one negative is his recommendation of "George" for minor remedial work. George is quite unprofessional and unable to provide the services that are needed.”

“Kelly was amazing! She responded insanely fast anytime I reached out. She was able to get us into viewings quickly. When we looked at houses she was honest, she made sure we saw the positives and negatives of the house in order for US to make an informed decision. That level of honesty and trust will have me recommending her to everyone. When we finally settled on a house she ensured we got all of the documents signed, set up the inspectors, and made sure we hit our milestones so we could close on time. Overall we had a fantastic experience, thank you so much!”

“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.”

Don was always quick to respond to our questions, no matter how small, and consistently went above and beyond to make sure we felt supported. His expertise, professionalism, and strong advocacy on our behalf made a huge difference, especially in a competitive market. Thanks to Don, we found a home that we truly love. We’re grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trusted and reliable real estate agent.”

“It was not the time economically to try to sell a lake house. Any potential buyers we did get were a lot of work to try to get to a contract. Dennis and Michelle worked hard for us to get through all of that. We are very happy to have sold the home and with all of their efforts and experience.”

“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. ☺️”
