Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Kalkaska County has expanded noticeably, with active listings up nearly 18 percent year over year to 218 and months of supply almost doubling to 5.3, signaling a clear buyer’s market compared with Michigan’s 3.1 months. Contract activity is mixed, as new listings have risen modestly over the past year while pending sales are down about 9 percent, suggesting homes are taking longer to secure a contract even as selection grows.
Pricing is adjusting to this looser environment, with the median list price down just over 10 percent year over year and the typical home value slightly below last year despite a strong month-over-month jump. Sellers are also seeing buyers negotiate more, reflected in an average sale-to-list ratio around 95 percent and only about 16 percent of homes closing above their asking price.
On the pace side, homes are spending a median of 55 days on the market, which is a bit quicker than a year ago but still leaves buyers with time to compare options. At the same time, steady closed sales alongside weaker pending totals point to a market where deals are still happening, but with more leverage on the buyer side. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands Kalkaska County’s numbers and trends.

“I would highly recommend working with Sarah if you’re looking to buy a home! She was very knowledgeable and explained every step of the process to me, putting me at ease as a first time homebuyer. Due to a sudden change in my living situation I needed to find a home on a short timeline. Sarah was more than accommodating, spending several days touring multiple homes with me until I found the right one. She was very knowledgeable about the closing process, helping me place an offer which was quickly accepted while still being well within my budget in a very competitive housing market. She was always available to answer questions or calm my nerves when I was stressed about things. I’m absolutely in love with my new home and can’t thank Sarah enough for her assistance in helping me purchase it.”

“Rob did an excellent job helping us sell our house. He took the time to understand our needs and desired timeline. He thoroughly analyzed comparable home sales in our area and helped us set an appropriate price. He helped us prepare the house for showing and then conducted an effective marketing campaign including postings to marketplace sites, individual showings, open houses, etc. Once we received an appropriate offer, Rob managed the entire post sale / closing process. Rob was always available to answer questions and follow up on various details. We are totally pleased with Rob's work on our behalf!”
Exp Realty Grand Rapids
“Absolutely the best agent we’ve ever worked with (over 15 homes). She counseled us on the pros & cons of each area in the greater Traverse City area. We were ultimately outbid on two, then a bad inspection on one, Jen counseled us in each instance. Knows her stuff business-wise, fought for us during a negotiation, goes above and beyond every time, and…she’s cool.”

“Dan Callan and his team are wonderful people. He is exceedingly easy to work with and extraordinarily patient. My wife and I worked with Dan for about 6 years. In the first 3 years, he helped us find a fantastic piece of land. We must have looked at 50 properties. Then he helped us build a wonderful home This took another 3 years. He then sold our house in 5 days. His team includes Closing consultants who kept us informed and made sure we knew what we needed to do to make the closing go smoothly. He never was impatient, always helpful and very knowledgeable. He provided credible advice and couseled us to avoid a couple of potential properties based on our needs and desires. I cannot imagine a more professional approach and he and his team have my highest recommendation! You will win using Dan as your realtor. Carol Shaheen and Clay Nelson”

Real Estate One
“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.”
EXP Realty
“Kevin Kast really listened to what we were looking for in a house, he didn't send us listings we wouldn't be interested in. Kevin always made time to show us houses we would be interested in. Once we decided on a house he was very helpful in guiding us in making an offer, which resulted in us getting the house, recommending an inspector, and following through with the appraisal and closing. As our listing agent, Kevin was very positive about the sale of our house. The photographer he used to take pictures of the house did an incredible job. Our house sold in 3 days for more than the asking price.”
