“I had a wonderful experience working with Don Wurtzel at Cornerstone - Saline! He helped me find a home that is exactly what I was looking for—the perfect size for me, in my ideal location and school district. With my busy work schedule, I really appreciated how accommodating he was in finding times for us to meet. Once I chose my home, everything moved quickly and smoothly, making the process easy. I’m so happy with my new home and would highly recommend Don to family and friends!”

Latest Monthly Snapshot
September 2026
Monthly Pricing Trends for Oakland County
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for Oakland County
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Oakland County is higher than last year, with active listings up about 12 percent and 5,511 homes on the market. Contract activity has cooled more noticeably, as pending sales are down nearly 24 percent from last month and roughly 15 percent year over year. Homes are also taking longer to go under contract, with median days on market rising to 27 days, up sharply from August and slightly from last year.
Prices are adjusting to this slower pace. The typical home value is up just over 1 percent from a year ago, but it slipped nearly 3 percent from August, and the median list price has dipped both month over month and year over year.
More supply and fewer buyers in contract have pushed months of supply up to 2.7, a jump of about 47 percent over last year, though it still signals a seller-leaning market compared with Michigan overall at 3.1 months. Fewer bidding wars are showing up, with the share of homes selling above list falling to about 27 percent and the average sale-to-list ratio edging down to 98.7 percent. Even with this cooling, homes sold slipped less than 2 percent year over year, suggesting steady underlying demand. In a market where conditions are shifting in favor of well-priced listings and patient buyers, Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers find an agent who understands these trends and knows how to navigate them.

“By far the easiest transaction ever! I truly believe that Marty lives up to the hype! This experience was so smooth, quick, and painless that I can't even believe it was the sale of a house! Marty is a Rockstar! I cannot say enough good things. So grateful he was in my corner through the whole process and I'm thankful he exceeded every expectation. You absolutely are amazing Marty!”
“Kathy and Sue were easy to work with and helped answer all our questions along the way. We were able to list our home, sell, and close within a few weeks. We loved the way the house was staged and all of the continued communication from Kathy and Sue. This was a great selling experience.”
“Ramsey did an outstanding job! He knows the area, showed us a number of homes that fit our budget and preferred location (very important to us). He's a good communicator, very friendly. Knows his stuff. I would definitely use him again.”
“David also had an existing relationship with my lender, which made the experience feel even more personal. Throughout the process, I felt like I was working with someone who genuinely cared about my best interests rather than just completing another transaction.”
“Tony helped me purchase my Berville rental property and was a strong advocate throughout the process. I appreciated his attention to the inspection and closing requirements and his willingness to push for clear answers. Highly recommend!”

Finally, communication with Shannon was fast and reliable as well.”
“Considering the situation we were in to sell the house, Tom and Karah did an EXCELLENT job understanding my needs and wanting the best for the buyer as well. I hope to use them in the future for buying a home. You SHOULD!!!”

“Our family is so grateful for Lisa. This is our 2nd home she’s helped us obtain/rent in the past 10 years. Our landlord unexpectedly gave us 60 day notice that she was retiring and selling the place we called home for the last 9 years and so my husband and I were scrambling to find a new place to call home for us and our children (new baby as well). 60 days is not a lot of time and our credit was less than perfect but we have good stable income and we’re great tenants/payers. We wanted a safe, clean, affordable and family friendly home. We’ve must’ve toured at least 20+ homes with Lisa and were rejected multiple times from landlords but Lisa did not give up on us. Even while facing her own obstacles with a family member in the hospital, Lisa still showed up for us day after day. She knows we are a hard working family just looking for a chance. She even went an extra mile and wrote us a recommendation which meant the world to us. We found a new place to call home with Lisa’s assistance and we are forever grateful. More space for our family and a good landlord who’s been very professional and supportive. You won’t be disappointed with Lisa. I highly recommend her! Thanks Lisa, God bless!”
“originally reached out to Joe Kovalchik with the Justin Ford Real Estate Team because I thought I was just getting myself in position to buy a home sometime next year. Joe connected me with a great lender, and we discovered I qualified for a USDA loan with 100% financing. Instead of waiting another year, Joe helped me get into a home much sooner than I expected. Over about a month and a half of searching, Joe helped me find the right opportunity and even got me access to a home before it officially hit the market. That ended up being the home I purchased! He also negotiated for the seller to cover my closing costs, which meant I was able to buy a home with very little money out of pocket. I couldn't be happier with how everything worked out. Joe went above and beyond to help me understand my options, find the right home, and negotiate a great deal. If you're looking for a real estate agent in Metro Detroit who understands first-time homebuyers, USDA loans, 100% financing, and how to negotiate seller-paid closing costs, I highly recommend Joe Kovalchik and the Justin Ford Real Estate Team!”
“Blake Callahan is the embodiment of integrity, leadership and extraordinary service. He genuinely cares about his clients and exemplifies that in words and deeds. My chronic illnesses and disabilities preclude traditional house hunting, however with Blake’s partnership and leadership I was able to find a home with support and ease. Blake is much more than an agent; he’s an honest, kind, trustworthy proactive partner and advocate who fiercely had my back and best interests at heart . If you’re looking for stellar representation, look no further than Blake. It will be the best decision you make.”
“I sold my townhouse in Northville with Tom after 9 years. He suggested a couple of small cosmetic fixes before listing that I almost skipped and they genuinely made the home show better. Had strong traffic the first weekend and accepted a clean offer by Monday. Small details matter and he knows which ones count.”
“We couldn't have been any more pleased and impressed with Natalie Katzman as our Buyer's Agent for our lakehouse purchase in White Lake! In addition to her strong knowledge of the market and the home buying/selling process, Natalie blew us away with her focus, commitment, and above-and-beyond level of service. She has a manic energy (in a good way!) to do whatever is needed to help her clients, to get the deal done, and to make sure everyone is satisfied. Here communications were outstanding and she was (seemingly) available 24/7. As we approached our Closing, she helped and protected us from issues and problems. Finally -- and just as important -- Natalie has a sunny and positive personality that was a pleasure to spend time with during our house search. We recommend Natalie Katzman 100%!”
“We had the best experience with Rob! We are first time buyers and we had a lot of questions. Rob made the process so easy and smooth. He was professional, polite and understanding.”
