Nelson’s housing market has cooled somewhat from a year ago in this rolling three-month view. Typical home values are down a bit year over year, while the number of homes sold has fallen by more than 20 percent. Inventory has loosened as months of supply has climbed sharply compared with last year.
Current conditions show a typical home value of about $176,000 and a median list price just over $173,000. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with the median days on market now at 31, up about 10 percent year over year.
Supply and demand are finding more balance, with 3.8 months of supply in Nelson compared with 3.6 months across Muskegon overall. Even with softer sales, more than a third of recent sales closed above the list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 97 percent, indicating sellers are still achieving prices close to asking. Buyers can use these trends to fine-tune offers and timing, while sellers will want guidance on pricing and preparation in a slower sales environment, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these local dynamics.

“I bought my first home from Jordyn and he has went above and beyond throughout this whole process. He has been amazing to work with and his honesty and integrity is something hard to come by in a realtor.

This is such a great team, they were all so amazing to work with.”

We are extremely happy with his service and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor!”
“Eryn did a remarkable job helping us relocate from Florida to Southwest Michigan. After several conversations and her knowing what we needed, we flew up to meet her and look at houses. She found the perfect house for us the first day!! Her negotiation skills, knowledge of the market and laws were amazing and helpful. She is a fighter for her clients and does not stop until her clients and herself is satisfied with the whole process.”
“Rick was fantastic to work with. He was great for us because we were using a VA loan and he is very familiar. He really understood what we were looking for and we found the house for us on day 2. He was with us from start to finish and was always flexible especially with our very short timeline.”

You are kind, caring, and persistent. True to your team you are a Boss, and your work and effort proves it. Thank you so much!”
“I cannot recommend Ashley highly enough. She originally helped me secure a home during an incredibly high-demand market, navigating the complexities of waived inspections and competitive bidding wars with absolute expertise. Ashley is remarkably well-connected within the community; her extensive network provides her with a constant stream of off-market opportunities that most buyers never see. When it came time to sell our home in Plainfield, we wanted to avoid the stress of constant showings. Ashley managed a seamless off-market sale that exceeded our expectations. She then helped us find our perfect new home, patiently walking us through every detail, including the nuances of HOA regulations. Ashley is honest, driven, and a fierce advocate for her clients. If you want a realtor who handles the legwork and refuses to let you be misled, Ashley is the professional you need."”

“Rob did an excellent job helping us sell our house. He took the time to understand our needs and desired timeline. He thoroughly analyzed comparable home sales in our area and helped us set an appropriate price. He helped us prepare the house for showing and then conducted an effective marketing campaign including postings to marketplace sites, individual showings, open houses, etc. Once we received an appropriate offer, Rob managed the entire post sale / closing process. Rob was always available to answer questions and follow up on various details. We are totally pleased with Rob's work on our behalf!”
