Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Howard City have been shifting notably in the latest rolling three-month view through September 2026. Active listings are holding close to last year’s level, but homes sold are down sharply year over year, indicating fewer closings even as options remain available.
Pricing has softened in response to this slower sales pace. The typical home value is slightly lower than a year ago, and the median list price has fallen more significantly over the same period, signaling that sellers are adjusting expectations to attract buyers.
Momentum in the market is still strong despite these pricing adjustments, with homes spending a median of just seven days on the market and more than two out of five selling above list price in this period. With only 2.3 months of supply, conditions continue to favor sellers overall, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect quickly with an agent who understands these trends.

“Austin was on top of it to help with the sale side on two of my properties and purchase of another! Highly recommended working with him.”
Bellabay Realty
“I couldn’t have asked for a better agent as a first time homebuyer! Kevin was knowledgeable and had amazing recommendations of outside services I needed in the process. He was always quick to respond to any questions and without having anything to compare him to, I’m certain he went above and beyond to make this experience great for me!”
ERA Real Estate ERA Greater North Properties
“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!”
Century 21 Rockgate
“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.”
Keller Williams Realty Grand Rapids East
“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.”
Keller Williams Grand Rapids East
“Scott was fantastic to work with and helped us get a great deal in a highly competitive market. He was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable about the area, and always made sure we felt confident throughout the process. We especially appreciated that he was never pushy and genuinely focused on helping us find the right house rather than rushing us into a decision. We are very happy with our new home and would highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for a realtor.”
Five Star Real Estate
“My wife and I couldn’t be more pleased working with Joe as our realtor. He is a model of integrity, incredibly responsive and possesses a wealthy of both knowledge and wisdom. As first time home buyers, the process can be intimidating but Joe demystified it all and helped us feel empowered and comfortable in our decision making. He’s a guru in the GR area; the one house bid we lost, Joe pinpointed the price and structure of the winning bid when giving his recommendation. For the house we did win he actually convinced us to bid less than we were initially going to.”
Keller Williams Grand Rapids North
“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.”
Lucas Howard Group - Keller Williams Grand Rapids
“You led me to Sam Masteller and HE is an angel!”
Berkshire Hathaway Home Services
“Sean helped with finding and purchasing a home. He was very responsive and made arrangements to see many homes and vacant properties in a very timely matter. Many within 24hrs. Thanks Sean!”
Crossroads Realty of Michigan
“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.”
Keller Williams GR East
“I had an excellent experience with Mary. She was extremely responsive and did her best to communicate with me according to my preferences, both over the phone and in person. Once she had an firm understanding of what kind of home I was looking for, she was sending me quality homes to look at on a regular basis. When it came time to put an offer on a home she was very proactive in the negotiation process and helped to get me the best deal I possibly could. I could not have been happier with the level of service I got from Mary.”
