Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Clare County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Clare County’s housing market has cooled in price compared to last year, even as activity has picked up. The typical home value is down more than 30 percent year over year, while homes sold and pending sales are both up over 10 percent and 20 percent, respectively. Months of supply has fallen more than a third from a year ago, pointing to fewer options for buyers than last year even with prices lower.
In the latest September 2026 data, the median sale price sits at about $127,000, well below the Michigan statewide median of roughly $289,000. Listing activity shows some momentum, with new listings up nearly 24 percent from a year earlier, even though there was a sharp month-to-month dip heading into September.
Inventory levels look moderate, with about 3.7 months of supply and 307 active listings, aligning with a seller’s market but not an extreme one. Homes are taking a median of 50 days to sell, which is slightly faster than a year ago, and only around 7 percent are closing above the asking price as the average sale-to-list ratio hovers under 94 percent. Buyers can use these trends to negotiate thoughtfully, while sellers must price carefully, and Agent Pronto can connect both sides with a local Clare County agent who understands these dynamics.
Clare County offers residents a welcoming mix of small-town charm, abundant outdoor recreation, and a strong, supportive community with dependable services and growth opportunities.
Clare County offers a quieter, true small‑town atmosphere compared with busier nearby hubs like Midland. Centered around the city of Clare, the county blends historic downtown blocks, family businesses, and easy access to lakes and forests that define daily life here.
Outdoor recreation shapes much of the local identity. The Pere Marquette Rail-Trail draws cyclists, runners, and snowmobilers through farmland and woodlands, while Wilson State Park on Budd Lake is a favorite for camping, swimming, and boating. Smaller communities such as Farwell and Harrison offer quick access to fishing spots, ORV trails, and quiet seasonal cabins that often become year‑round homes.
Community life is centered on schools, local events, and long‑running institutions. Families appreciate resources like Clare Public Schools and the Harrison District Library. Longtime residents and newcomers mingle at local diners, Clare’s historic downtown, and seasonal festivals that keep traditions alive even as more buyers discover the area’s relative affordability.
For sellers, preparation matters as some homes appeal to year‑round residents and others to second‑home seekers. For buyers, understanding differences between lakefront, in‑town, and rural properties can shape long‑term satisfaction. Partnering with the right local expert through Agent Pronto helps both buyers and sellers time the market, prepare effectively, and move with confidence in Clare County.

He was always quick to respond to our questions and made us feel like we were a priority throughout the entire process. Buying a home can be stressful, but he made everything feel so much easier and more manageable. We always felt like we could reach out when we needed something, and we never felt pressured or rushed.

We will certainly reach out to Allison again, if our real estate itch ever returns!”
“Working with Chance was great. He was extremely responsive, no matter the day or time! He helped us find our first house. We told him what we were looking for and he only recommended homes within our specifications. He did a wonderful job negotiating with the selling agent and making a deal we were confident in.”
“Shelley Park continues to prove why she is our go-to realtor time and time again. Most recently, she helped us stage, list, and sell a flip house that was nearly two hours away from where we live, and she handled every detail with excellence and professionalism from start to finish. What sets Shelley apart is her incredible attention to detail and the level of care she brings to every transaction. When offers came in, she carefully evaluated every single one with a magnifying glass — not just looking at price, but truly helping us determine the strongest and best overall offer. Because of her expertise, the entire process felt seamless and stress-free. No matter the situation, we know we can count on Shelley 100% of the time. She is dependable, knowledgeable, responsive, and deeply committed to her clients’ best interests.

“Jason is an excellent person to work for. Very attentive and helpful through out the selling home process. He was able to answer every question I had clearly and in a timely order. Really went out of the way to walk me through each step and offer suggestion and help. This was my first time selling a home. Jason and his team were very knowledgeable about the area of my home, what I should list for and showed me different options and strategies when listing my home. During the showing process they were able to give me other realtors feed back in real time. My home was sold within the first week of my showing it. After the home was sold walking through the closing process was a breeze. Jason and Jenna really took thier time explaining what to do and was able to accommodate me with me being out of state for the closing date. If you want knowledgeable and professional realtors that get amazing results. Please look no further.”

He thoroughly analyzed comparable home sales in our area and helped us set an appropriate price. He helped us prepare the house for showing and then conducted an effective marketing campaign including postings to marketplace sites, individual showings, open houses, etc. Once we received an appropriate offer, Rob managed the entire post sale / closing process. Rob was always available to answer questions and follow up on various details. We are totally pleased with Rob's work on our behalf!”
