Baxter real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Baxter real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Year-over-year trends in Baxter show clear shifts in pricing and activity. Typical home values are down about 15.22% compared to last year, now around $215,000. At the same time, new listings have fallen 30.0% and pending sales are down 61.54%, signaling fewer homes turning over than a year ago.
Looking at March 2026, listing activity has been very limited, with only 4 homes on the market and 7 new listings. Buyers are moving quickly, as the median days on market is just 14, even though that is 3.7% higher than a year earlier but 20.0% lower than the prior month.
Pricing dynamics favor sellers, with Baxter rated an 8 on the market gauge and homes typically selling about 1.8% above list, as shown by a 1.018 average sale-to-list ratio and 60% of sales closing over asking. The median list price in March reached about $304,900, up 28.38% month over month, and is projected to climb toward $338,600 next month as inventory edges up to 5 homes, still far below the 160 listings available across Grand Rapids, where typical values sit closer to $302,000. Whether buyers are trying to act quickly in this tight seller’s market or sellers want to price strategically, Agent Pronto can connect them with an agent who understands Baxter’s current conditions.

“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.”

“Hi,it was a great experience working with Jodi. She is very professional realtor. She makes sure that you understand every situation,and process that you face . When it came time to look for houses Jodi got right on it . We started out looking for houses on the East side of the city, and made sure what tipe of house and location where you want to live . It was not an easy task, but after looking at twelve houses it took a lot of energy . We stayed on the look until we got finished. After looking on the East side we started looking on the west side . We looked at nine more houses on the west side. Out of the nine houses on the west side it was one house that caught my eyes. I did fine three houses on the east side, but nether house did not have a driveway. The house that caught me eyes on the west side did have a driveway. When I walked in that house on Sorrento it was everything I was looking for. I told Jodi we did not have to look no further. I put in a bid,and went for it and was.”

“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. ☺️”
