Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Emmet County real estate market. *
June 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 (Jun 2026).
Emmet County currently leans toward buyers, with the local market gauge signaling a buyer’s market. Months of supply sits at 4.5, notably higher than Michigan’s 2.8 months, giving buyers more options and time. Active listings have more than doubled compared with last year, contributing to this more favorable environment for purchasers.
Pricing trends show steady but moderate growth. The typical home value is up a few percent year over year, while the median list price is slightly lower than a year ago, suggesting sellers are pricing more carefully to attract offers. Homes are also moving faster than in recent months, with median days on market dropping sharply from May to June, which indicates that well-priced properties can still draw timely attention.
Sales activity has picked up, with homes sold and pending sales both rising compared with last year and with the prior month. New listings have surged by more than 100 percent year over year, giving buyers a wider selection even as only about a quarter of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 98 percent. With conditions tilted toward buyers but still rewarding realistic sellers, Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers in Emmet County connect with an agent who understands these shifting dynamics.
Emmet County offers residents a welcoming mix of outdoor recreation, close-knit communities, and abundant natural beauty, all contributing to a high quality of life.
Emmet County immediately feels distinct from nearby resort areas because it blends resort caliber scenery with a strong, year round community. From the waterfront energy of Petoskey to the harbor views of Harbor Springs, the county balances tourism with a daily rhythm that appeals to full time residents and second home owners alike.
Residents enjoy miles of Little Traverse Bay shoreline, inland lakes, and four season recreation. The Little Traverse Wheelway and parks like Petoskey State Park and Petoskey’s Bayfront Park keep outdoor life central, while the Petoskey District Library and Crooked Tree Arts Center anchor a strong cultural scene. Families value respected local schools such as Harbor Springs Public Schools and Petoskey Public Schools.
Smaller communities like Alanson and Pellston offer quieter streets and easy access to nature, yet you are still close to dining, marinas, golf, and winter sports in Boyne City and along the Bay.
Because Emmet County’s housing stock ranges from historic downtown homes to rural acreage and waterfront condos, understanding micro markets, seasonal demand, and short term rental considerations is crucial. Whether you are planning a strategic sale before the next peak season or trying to secure the right place before inventory tightens, Agent Pronto can connect you with an Emmet County real estate professional who will help both buyers and sellers prepare, time the market, and move forward confidently.
See why so many people rely on Agent Pronto to make their real estate journey a success.
“From the showing of the condo, the preapproval of the application the signing of the seller and the buyer all took about six hours. This is excellent for me. I needed a place that my wife and I could live together for the rest of our lives and we will thank you very much, Angie.”
“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!”
“Professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful Where do I start, Amy went above and beyond to help me, guided me, supported me, reassured me, and respected my every wish. I am not an easy client to say the least. Amy was my support that I didn't have, being by myself with nobody to bounce concerns and ideas off was difficult for me, and she was just that. I've bought several houses in the past and never once have I used the same realtor until Amy. I worked with a different realtor by the name Lori Periard from Century 21 and she was a nightmare. Amy drove me around, helped me find a house, car, insurances and anything else I needed to make my transition as smooth as possible. I respect Amy, have much admiration for her. I plan to use Amy for my next adventure. I can't thank Amy enough.”

We were impressed by the marketing, attention to detail of the homes during the selling process and overall execution of the sale. Fast forward to the original meeting with Kathy in May of 2026 and that sealed the deal. She is effecient in all aspects of the details, there was essentially no worries. she and her outstanding team walk you through the process in a very easy to navigate process.”
