Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Livingston County real estate market. *
August 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 (Aug 2026).
Livingston County is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge signaling a seller’s market. Months of supply is down to 1.8, sharply lower than a year ago and well under Michigan’s 2.9 months. Homes are also selling with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent, showing buyers are paying close to asking prices.
Home values have climbed notably over the past year, with the typical home value up more than 12 percent and now in the mid-$400,000s, well above the state’s median. Median list prices are also higher than a year ago, even after a modest month-over-month dip, suggesting sellers still have solid pricing power. Sales activity has been brisk, as homes sold jumped nearly 30 percent year over year, yet new listings rose by a similar share, helping keep inventory from tightening even further.
Conditions on the ground reflect strong demand and quick decisions. Half of homes are going off the market within two weeks, and the median time to sell is just over three weeks, slightly faster than a year ago despite a recent monthly uptick. More than one in three properties sells above list price, underscoring the need for careful pricing and negotiation strategies. Buyers who want to compete effectively and sellers who want to maximize their position can both benefit from Agent Pronto’s help finding a knowledgeable local agent.
Livingston County offers residents a welcoming blend of tight-knit communities, abundant outdoor recreation, excellent schools, and a thriving local economy that supports a high quality of life.
Livingston County stands out from larger neighbors like Washtenaw County and Oakland County by offering a quieter, close‑knit feel paired with easy access to Ann Arbor, Lansing, and metro Detroit. Residents value a strong sense of local identity, from the independently owned shops in Brighton to the historic courthouse square in Howell.
Outdoor recreation shapes daily life here. Families gather at Brighton Recreation Area for camping, hiking, and lakeside fun, while Island Lake Recreation Area offers paddling on the Huron River and popular bike trails. In Howell, Thompson Lake at Howell City Park draws swimmers and boaters, and ice fishing appears when winter settles in.
Community events and local institutions add to the county’s appeal. The Howell Carnegie District Library hosts programs for all ages, and seasonal festivals fill downtown streets with residents who tend to know one another by name. Newer development near Hartland and Hamburg Township offers modern neighborhoods while rural roads still wind past farms and wide open spaces.
Whether you are moving across town or relocating from outside the area, timing and preparation matter in Livingston County’s competitive market. The right agent can help buyers move quickly on well‑priced homes and guide sellers through pricing and staging strategies to capture strong offers. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands the local pace, neighborhoods, and opportunities.

“I put my house on the market while living in another state. Jeff took care of everything from dealing with contractors, to keeping my house secured. He kept me informed through the entire process. He is very professional and the result was my house selling within 10 days of being on the market.”

“Where do I even begin? Tony was an absolute rockstar! He helped me purchase my first home from 2800 miles away - sight unseen. You may think I'm crazy for doing that, but it's due to Tony's competency as a realtor. The way he virtually showed me homes was excellent - as if I were there. He commonly pointed out potential issues and things to think about. Everything from custom wood encased windows that would eventually leak to where the gutters drain and the impact on asphalt over time. He didn't tell me what to do or make me feel less than for moving forwsrd with an offer on properites with issues - it was merely to know and understand any potential risks. When I was particularly down after multiple losses on offers, he said not to worry, we'd find my home - AND WE DID!!!!!!! I am so excited to have purchased my dream home. If I were to know someone who needed to buy a home in the area or from afar, I would hands down recommend Tony! Thanks so much Tony.”
