Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026).
Year-over-year, Bay County is seeing home values and prices edge higher, with the typical home value up slightly and the median list price climbing more notably compared to last June. Activity is also stronger than a year ago, as homes sold are up sharply and pending sales have risen, signaling more buyers successfully moving forward.
In the latest June 2026 snapshot, the typical home value sits around $179,000, while the median list price is near $182,000. Homes are moving at a median of 17 days on market, and with only 1.9 months of supply, conditions tilt toward sellers even as active listings have grown to 385.
Demand shows up in pricing dynamics, with about 37 percent of recent sales closing above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio just under 99 percent. Compared with the broader Michigan market, Bay County’s home values are lower than the state median, which can appeal to cost-conscious buyers while still rewarding sellers with solid demand, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers find an agent who understands these local trends.
