Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Creston’s rolling three-month data through May 2026 shows notable year-over-year gains. Typical home values are up over 13 percent, outpacing the roughly 3 percent rise seen across Grand Rapids overall. Listing activity has also expanded, with new listings increasing more than 50 percent from a year ago.
In the latest period, the typical home value in Creston is about $322,000, with a median list price around $306,000. Homes are moving quickly, spending a median of just 5 days on the market, and nearly 84 percent go off the market within two weeks.
Tight inventory continues to shape conditions, with only 1.2 months of supply locally compared with 1.4 months in Grand Rapids, reinforcing Creston’s position as a clear seller’s market. Sales activity is robust, as homes sold rose nearly 18 percent year over year while pending sales climbed more than 40 percent. Competition among buyers is strong, with over 70 percent of homes selling above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio above 104 percent. With these dynamics in play, both buyers looking to navigate fast-moving offers and sellers aiming to maximize their sale can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help finding the right local real estate agent.
