Ingham County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Ingham County real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Ingham County currently leans toward sellers, with a market gauge of 20 indicating that buyers face some pressure. Homes typically take 46 days to go under contract, which is faster than a balanced market but slower than a true frenzy. With only 2.7 months of supply and 521 active listings, inventory is tight enough to favor sellers overall.
Several trends help explain this positioning. Inventory is down 3.7% month over month and 7.95% year over year, while new listings have fallen about 23.97% compared with last year, limiting options for buyers and supporting prices. At the same time, typical home values have dipped 0.57% over the past year and 2.78% month over month to about $175,000, well below the Michigan typical value of $259,500, which may offer relative affordability.
Buyer activity has cooled, with pending sales down 25.63% year over year and buyers securing homes at about 97.6% of list price on average. Roughly 21.47% of recent sales closed above asking and about 21.11% of listings saw price drops, showing that pricing strategy is crucial in this environment. Projections for March 2026 suggest typical values around $172,500 and inventory near 511 homes, while list prices could edge up to about $187,550, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from using Agent Pronto to connect with an agent who understands these dynamics.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“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!”
