“originally reached out to Joe Kovalchik with the Justin Ford Real Estate Team because I thought I was just getting myself in position to buy a home sometime next year. Joe connected me with a great lender, and we discovered I qualified for a USDA loan with 100% financing. Instead of waiting another year, Joe helped me get into a home much sooner than I expected. Over about a month and a half of searching, Joe helped me find the right opportunity and even got me access to a home before it officially hit the market. That ended up being the home I purchased! He also negotiated for the seller to cover my closing costs, which meant I was able to buy a home with very little money out of pocket. I couldn't be happier with how everything worked out. Joe went above and beyond to help me understand my options, find the right home, and negotiate a great deal. If you're looking for a real estate agent in Metro Detroit who understands first-time homebuyers, USDA loans, 100% financing, and how to negotiate seller-paid closing costs, I highly recommend Joe Kovalchik and the Justin Ford Real Estate Team!”

Latest Monthly Snapshot
September 2026
Monthly Pricing Trends for Eaton County
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for Eaton County
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).
Inventory and buyer activity in Eaton County have been shifting recently. Active listings dipped slightly from last month and sit about 9 percent lower than a year ago, while new listings are down nearly 16 percent year over year despite a small month-to-month increase. Homes going under contract have slowed more sharply, with pending sales falling about 23 percent from last month and almost 30 percent over the past year.
Prices have been moving up even as sales activity cools. The typical home value is roughly 10 percent higher than a year ago and climbed almost 7 percent just since last month, while the median list price has risen a more modest 4 percent year over year. Sellers are still achieving close to asking price, with the average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent and about one-third of homes selling above list, a share that is higher than a year ago.
Despite these strong prices, conditions are gradually tilting toward better balance. Months of supply has increased to 2.7, up more than 60 percent from last year, and the median days on market has stretched to 40, both pointing to more breathing room for buyers than earlier in the year. Compared with Michigan overall, Eaton County has slightly tighter inventory and similar pricing levels, suggesting it remains relatively strong for sellers. In this environment, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands how to navigate these changing dynamics.

“We got to know Allison during 3 separate transactions over a 3ish year process in Canaidan Lakes. We were lucky enough to build a strong trusting relationship, and found her support and knowledge of the region very important. We will certainly reach out to Allison again, if our real estate itch ever returns!”
“Very capable. Straight forward. Knows how to buy a home. Knows when to push and when to stand back. She gets to know the person she is working with and can close a deal. I highly recommend her.”
“Rick was fantastic to work with. He was great for us because we were using a VA loan and he is very familiar. He really understood what we were looking for and we found the house for us on day 2. He was with us from start to finish and was always flexible especially with our very short timeline.”
“In preparing for the sale and facilitating the final sale of a property with several difficulties, Angela Averill and her team were very helpful and exceptionally patient--particularly, her team members, Kylie and Dalanie, who were kind at the closing by listening to my frustrations regarding issues over which they had no control. This property sale helped our organization greatly and wouldn't have worked out as well without this great team of realtors. Thank you for everything!”
“Kelly, Thank you so much for all of your help! You made purchasing my first home very easy. I really appreciate how well you explained each step and process I always knew what to expect. Your knowledge on what I needed to look for in homes to fit my FHA loan was so helpful!! Thank so much I really enjoyed working with you”
“Ben did a fantastic job making sure all my questions were answered and giving real feedback on the homes we toured; I never felt like he was trying to convince me to buy. His genuine care for clients is clear, and he had great knowledge throughout the process. Highly recommend Ben to anyone looking to buy a home.”
“Mike has helped rent out our home in Clawson twice now. Both times he has found excellent tenants and we cannot have been happier. He is very knowledgeable about the real estate market and has gone above and beyond for us. I would recommend him to anyone buying, selling, or renting a home. You can’t go wrong going with Mike. I would call him a friend now:-)”

“I bought my first home thanks to Kyle. In a difficult market dealing with difficult sellers, Kyle made the entire process a breeze and made sure we got the deal that suited us best. I can’t imagine how much more difficult it would’ve been if not for Kyle’s efforts. Very highly recommend going with him!”
“Karl was honest and understanding. His experience was a consideration in staying with him. He always told me what he really thought and was very informative. It was the first time I sold a home and Karl helped me along the way. Sold for over my goal price. Karl was helpful and responsive through the entire process. Awesome person”
“We had another broker that was wanting to help us but we went with Gloria because she Contact us immediately and was superfriendly, amazing and so helpful. Her positivity and communication just helped us with this whole process. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a home in East Lansing. As I said before she was just so amazing and worked well with us and the communication was on point. Because we had to do this on zoom she made sure she was there for everything and showed us everything and was never a bother for her I will continue to say all good things about her I really have nothing negative Our overall experience with Gloria was perfect and made this whole thing so much easier for me and my family”
“Andrea was absolutely wonderful to work with!”
“We moved to Grand Rapids from St Louis. Jeff was great at getting us in houses and using FaceTime to walk us through virtually. We started looking in Jan 2020 and continued through the start of the Covid pandemic. Due to low supply and high demand we went through multiple offers before finally getting our house. Jeff was quick to get paperwork going and prompt to follow up throughout the process. We didn't miss out on a thing even while being out of state during a pandemic, it really speaks to Jeff's dedication, understanding of what we wanted and knowing the local area. I would highly recommend Jeff to friends and family.”
