Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Kalkaska County real estate market. *
April 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 (Apr 2026).
Inventory in Kalkaska County has expanded meaningfully, with active listings up nearly 50 percent from a year ago and 36 percent just since March. New listings are also surging, more than doubling month over month and running over 50 percent higher than last year, which is giving buyers more options to consider.
Contract activity is picking up alongside this new supply, as homes sold are more than four times higher than a year ago and pending sales are up about 65 percent year over year. Even with this stronger flow of deals, the market gauge still points to a seller’s market, and months of supply has tightened since March to about four and a half months, though it remains higher than the Michigan average.
Pricing has been adjusting to these shifting conditions, with the typical home value down a little over 10 percent year over year and the median list price also off by roughly the same share from last April. Properties are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with median days on market up sharply over that period even as they have inched down compared with March, and only about 14 percent of homes are closing above list with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 98 percent. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these evolving dynamics can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local real estate agent who understands this market.

“Hi,it was a great experience working with Jodi. She is very professional realtor. She makes sure that you understand every situation,and process that you face . When it came time to look for houses Jodi got right on it . We started out looking for houses on the East side of the city, and made sure what tipe of house and location where you want to live . It was not an easy task, but after looking at twelve houses it took a lot of energy . We stayed on the look until we got finished. After looking on the East side we started looking on the west side . We looked at nine more houses on the west side. Out of the nine houses on the west side it was one house that caught my eyes. I did fine three houses on the east side, but nether house did not have a driveway. The house that caught me eyes on the west side did have a driveway. When I walked in that house on Sorrento it was everything I was looking for. I told Jodi we did not have to look no further. I put in a bid,and went for it and was.”
