Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Nelson’s rolling three-month numbers point to shifting prices and rising activity. Typical home values are slightly lower than a year ago, dipping less than 1 percent, while the median list price is also down a bit year over year. At the same time, homes sold are up more than 30 percent from last year, and new listings and pending sales have each climbed by roughly one‑third to one‑half.
Current conditions show a median sale price around $149,000, with homes typically listing near $173,000. Inventory has expanded to 52 active listings, and months of supply is at 2.5, keeping Nelson in a seller’s market but with more options than some prior periods. Homes are taking about 36 days to go under contract in this rolling window, noticeably slower than last summer’s rapid pace but faster than some recent months. Only about 13 percent of sales close above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just over 95 percent, signaling more negotiation room than in past high-demand stretches.
Compared with the broader Muskegon market, Nelson’s prices are lower, with the city’s median sale price near $181,000 and modest annual growth there. Nelson also has slightly tighter inventory than Muskegon overall, where supply is closer to 2.8 months. Whether you are a buyer trying to time your move or a seller wanting to price confidently, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Nelson agent who understands these trends and can guide you through the process.

“Having used Tom and Karan's services twice now, I can confidently say they deliver exceptional service at every stage. They were always available whenever I needed them, guided us through each step with ease, and made the whole transaction feel seamless. Best of all, their strategies paid off and got me top dollar on my home sale. A huge thank you for the incredible work—five stars all the way!”

“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.”

“From the showing of the condo, the preapproval of the application the signing of the seller and the buyer all took about six hours. This is excellent for me. I needed a place that my wife and I could live together for the rest of our lives and we will thank you very much, Angie.”

“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!”

“Professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful Where do I start, Amy went above and beyond to help me, guided me, supported me, reassured me, and respected my every wish. I am not an easy client to say the least. Amy was my support that I didn't have, being by myself with nobody to bounce concerns and ideas off was difficult for me, and she was just that. I've bought several houses in the past and never once have I used the same realtor until Amy. I worked with a different realtor by the name Lori Periard from Century 21 and she was a nightmare. Amy drove me around, helped me find a house, car, insurances and anything else I needed to make my transition as smooth as possible. I respect Amy, have much admiration for her. I plan to use Amy for my next adventure. I can't thank Amy enough.”

“We watched Kathy sell two homes on our same street, as we had planned to sell our home the following spring. We were impressed by the marketing, attention to detail of the homes during the selling process and overall execution of the sale. Fast forward to the original meeting with Kathy in May of 2026 and that sealed the deal. She is effecient in all aspects of the details, there was essentially no worries. she and her outstanding team walk you through the process in a very easy to navigate process.”

I am extremely grateful for all of Natasha's hard work and I would recommend her to everyone who is looking to buy a house.”
