Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).

Year over year, Nelson’s rolling three-month prices have moved lower even as activity has picked up. The typical home value is down nearly 22 percent from a year ago, while homes sold are up more than 50 percent. Compared with the broader city of Muskegon, Nelson’s typical values are currently lower, but sales are moving at a faster clip.

In the latest rolling three-month period ending in July 2026, the typical home value in Nelson sits around $141,000, with a median list price near $176,000, showing sellers are still aiming above recent sale prices. Inventory remains tight with about 1.8 months of supply, well below the 2.9 months seen across Muskegon, which keeps conditions tilted toward sellers despite softer prices.

Homes are changing hands more quickly than a year ago, with the median days on market now about three weeks and roughly 34 percent of listings going off-market within two weeks. The share of homes selling above list price has risen to about 23 percent, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 94 percent, signaling that buyers still face competition even as price growth cools. In this kind of mixed market, both buyers and sellers in Nelson can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local agent who understands these shifting dynamics.

Right from the start, she went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported and informed every step of the way.

I always felt like I was her top priority. Whether she was answering my questions or negotiating on my behalf, Tiffanie was consistently on task and dedicated. If you’re in search of a realtor who truly cares and achieves results, Tiffanie is definitely the one to call!”

“My daughter is a real estate agent, but I needed to act right away when this listing popped up. Amy was all over it. Giving sound advice, knowing the seller, his agent, the property, and wasted no time scheduling a walk thru and submitting a subsequent offer for what was best for both myself and the seller. Honest, trustworthy, fair, and eager to do her job every step of the way. Couldn't be happier. Would not have closed the deal without her; and that's the truth.”

“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.”

“We had an incredible experience working with Bryant Stuut to both buy and sell our home. Bryant was attentive, honest, incredibly responsive, and always willing to answer our many questions throughout the process. What stood out most was how well Bryant understood exactly what we were looking for. He never made us feel pressured and consistently gave us thoughtful, straightforward advice. When it came time to sell, he recommended several small, practical changes that we feel helped our home sell faster and for a higher price. Buying and selling a home can be very stressful, but Bryant made the entire experience feel manageable and gave us complete confidence along the way. I truly cannot say enough good things about him and would recommend Bryant to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

“In preparing for the sale and facilitating the final sale of a property with several difficulties, Angela Averill and her team were very helpful and exceptionally patient--particularly, her team members, Kylie and Dalanie, who were kind at the closing by listening to my frustrations regarding issues over which they had no control. This property sale helped our organization greatly and wouldn't have worked out as well without this great team of realtors. Thank you for everything!”
