Nelson’s rolling three-month numbers show a mixed shift compared with a year ago. Typical home values are down sharply year over year, dropping about 17 percent, while the broader city of Muskegon is almost flat. At the same time, inventory has loosened, with months of supply up more than 65 percent from last year, moving conditions a bit closer to balance even though it is still labeled a seller’s market.
In the latest period through August 2026, the typical home value sits around $150,000 with a median list price just over $172,000. Sales volume has eased, with homes sold down about 13 percent year over year and new listings falling nearly 27 percent, yet pending sales are up almost 28 percent, signaling solid buyer interest in the properties that do hit the market.
Homes are moving more quickly than a year ago, with the median time to go under contract at 21 days, down about a week, and nearly a third of listings are going off market within two weeks. Seller leverage has softened slightly, as the average sale-to-list price ratio is near 95 percent, but the share of homes selling above list has climbed to about 28 percent. With Nelson still tighter than the city overall at 2.7 months of supply versus Muskegon’s 3 months, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent to navigate pricing, timing, and negotiations.
Nelson offers residents a welcoming, walkable community with local amenities, green spaces, and ample opportunities to connect with neighbors.

“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.”
“Great working with Dennis!!”
“Kathy was great. She was always available and was awesome when it came to negotiating prices for my home. She offered great advice and helped me with upgrades my home needed. She was knowledgeable and helped me find a home that met all my needs. I highly recommended Kathy as a realtor.”
“Angie went above and beyond whilst dealing with our initial exploration of properties and our ultimate purchase of one. She was extremely pleasant, attentive to detail and consistently available for questions and issues. She takes her fiduciary responsibility very seriously, and was honest and trustworthy.”
“Marie is amazing and I would work with her again in a heartbeat --- actually, I will be soon.”
“We got to know Allison during 3 separate transactions over a 3ish year process in Canaidan Lakes. We were lucky enough to build a strong trusting relationship, and found her support and knowledge of the region very important. We will certainly reach out to Allison again, if our real estate itch ever returns!”
“Tania was a gem from the start! I personally had already been through some, not great sales with different realtors so I was very nervous to go through this, especially when it was important to me personally. She was very good on maintaining contact and updates even if it was something small and she was very quick and resourceful! Tania was always readily available to answer any questions and to reassure the process. I would recommend her to anyone who was looking the sell or buy their home!”
“I had the privilege of working with Tiffanie in multiple capacities, from finding tenants for my property to successfully selling it. I wholeheartedly recommend her services. Right from the start, she went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported and informed every step of the way. Tiffanie genuinely cares about her clients, making sure they are never taken advantage of. Her meticulous attention to detail and proactive approach significantly impacted my experience. 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!”
“Karah was a genuine asset in our home sale experience. We were so thankful that Tina recommended Karah as a realtor to help us sell our home.”
“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.”
“Amy was very easy to work with and gave us valuable advice on increasing our listing price. The whole process working with Amy was very smooth. I have recommended her to several of my friends and they have also been extremely pleased with her.”
“Claudia made herself available at all times, She made sure we new what was going on at all times and anything we needed to do. My choose is Claudia every time. Very professional at her Job.”
“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.”
“Dawn was courteous professional honest and trusting. She was highly recommended and rightfully so. Dawn was very timely in her responses. Took time to follow up on items I was responsible for. All these attributes culminated in a quick sale. Thank you Dawn!”
“Don Wurtzel is a true professional and master of his craft: responsive, knowledgeable and dedicated to his clients. Throughout the selling process, we had ease of mind knowing Don and his company, Cornerstone Real Estate, had out backs. We wouldn't hesitate to use his services again or recommend him.”
“Barketa is fantastic! She walked with us and pointed out things that maybe an issue. She was great at figuring out what met our needs. Barketa is straightforward and honest. We felt super comfortable when working with her. Barketa is a wonderful agent and if we have anything like this again, I would 100% work with her again. I would recommend her to anyone looking in the area”
“Katie was amazing and very quick to respond to us with any questions we had. She gave us so much information and extremely helpful.”
“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!”
“Kelly, Thank you so much for all of your help! You made purchasing my first home very easy. I really appreciate how well you explained each step and process I always knew what to expect.
