Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Otsego County currently leans toward sellers, with the local market gauge at 37 even though conditions are not extremely tight. Months of supply sits at 4.7, noticeably higher than Michigan’s 2.9 months, which points to more options for buyers than in many parts of the state.
Inventory and activity have both expanded as the season progresses. Active listings are up nearly 39 percent from last month and about 14 percent year over year, while homes sold jumped more than 49 percent compared with a year ago.
Pricing shows a mixed picture for buyers and sellers to consider. The typical home value is slightly above the statewide median at around $301,000, yet the median list price has fallen nearly 23 percent year over year, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 98 percent as only about 22 percent of homes close above asking. Median days on market have shortened to 39 days compared with earlier in the year, and more than half of homes go off the market within two weeks, signaling that well-priced properties still move quickly. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting dynamics can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands the Otsego County market.
