Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Kalkaska County real estate market. *
May 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Inventory in Kalkaska County has been climbing, with active listings up more than 30% from a year ago and now well above the state’s pace of growth. Buyer activity is keeping up reasonably well, as homes sold and pending sales have both risen by more than 20% year over year, and new listings are also higher than a year ago.
Pricing is adjusting to this looser balance, with months of supply at 5.7 compared with Michigan’s 2.9, and the typical home value down about 6% from last year. Sellers are conceding more on price, as the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped to about 94% and the share of homes selling above list has declined compared with both last month and last year.
Time on market tells a mixed story, with the median days on market at 47, far slower than a year ago but improving since early 2026 as buyers return for the spring season. With more homes to choose from and pricing under pressure, conditions lean more balanced even though the area still registers as a seller’s market overall, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these shifting dynamics.
