Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Oakland County real estate market. *
August 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
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 (Aug 2026).
Inventory in Oakland County has expanded, with active listings up more than 13 percent from a year ago and a total of 5,611 homes available in August. New listings also rose year over year, even though they dipped from July, pointing to more owners bringing properties to market than last summer. At the same time, homes sold and pending sales are slightly lower than a year ago, suggesting demand is steady but not keeping pace with the growing supply.
Prices are adjusting to this balance of supply and demand. The typical home value in August was about $392,000, up nearly 2 percent over the past year but down from July’s peak, while the median list price has grown a bit faster year over year. Compared with the rest of Michigan, Oakland County remains a higher-priced area, with a typical sale price well above the statewide median of roughly $298,000 even as the county’s annual price growth trails the state overall.
Measures of speed and competition show a market that is active but not overheated. Homes now sit a bit longer, with the median days on market rising to 22, and months of supply jumping to 2.5, up sharply from last year. Fewer properties are closing above asking price, and the average sale-to-list ratio has edged just under 100 percent, indicating buyers have slightly more room to negotiate than before. In this shifting environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local real estate agent who understands current conditions.
Oakland County offers residents a vibrant blend of suburban living, abundant outdoor recreation, strong schools, and a welcoming, thriving community.
Oakland County stands out from nearby Detroit and Wayne County with a rare mix of lake country, walkable downtowns, and major employment centers in one area. Communities such as Royal Oak, Ferndale, and Birmingham offer lively main streets, while Novi and Troy balance subdivisions, shopping, and corporate campuses. Across the county, more than a thousand lakes and extensive parkland give daily life a distinctly outdoor feel.
Residents use Oakland County Parks for year round recreation, from golf and fishing to sledding and dog parks. Popular spots like Independence Oaks County Park and the Paint Creek Trail connect neighborhoods to woods and water in minutes. In town, destinations such as Downtown Royal Oak and The Village of Rochester Hills provide dining, events, and community gatherings that appeal to long time residents and newcomers alike.
Families pay close attention to well regarded districts like Rochester Community Schools and Bloomfield Hills Schools, along with private and specialty programs across the county. With ongoing redevelopment, rising interest in walkable areas, and steady demand near major freeways, timing and preparation matter. Whether you are planning to buy along a lake, close to downtown, or near top schools, or you are considering selling in a shifting market, Agent Pronto can connect you with the right Oakland County agent to be ready for your next move.

“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.”
