Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Year-over-year, Manistee Lake’s rolling three-month home values have shifted sharply lower, with the typical home value down nearly 60 percent compared with a year ago. Listing prices have also moved down over the past year, falling by roughly a quarter even as the overall price level still sits well above the current median sale price.
At the same time, activity has cooled considerably in this rolling three-month view, with homes sold dropping by nearly half from a year earlier. Inventory has grown, with active listings up more than 14 percent year over year, and months of supply surging to about 16 months, a huge jump from last year and a clear sign of slower turnover.
Looking at the latest period ending in May 2026, typical homes are valued around $173,000 while the median list price is closer to $283,000, and properties are spending a long time on the market with a median of 232 days. Even with that slower pace, pending sales are up more than 40 percent from a year ago, suggesting that motivated buyers are still finding opportunities. Despite the seller’s market label, no recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is around 96 percent, which can give buyers some room to negotiate. In a market this nuanced, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands Manistee Lake’s latest trends.
