Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Royal Oak real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Royal Oak is seeing a constrained but active flow of homes, with 156 properties on the market and 81 new listings in February 2026. Pending sales reached 73, even as they fell about 34.8% from last year, showing that well-priced homes are still moving. With just 2.1 months of supply and a seller’s market gauge of 21, conditions lean toward sellers but give buyers some options to compare.
Prices are adjusting in response to these shifts. The typical home value sits around $339,000, down 6.22% year over year but up 4.31% from the prior month, while the median list price climbed to about $399,900, an 8.11% monthly increase. Looking ahead to March 2026, the typical home value is projected to edge up to $346,000 and the median list price to about $414,900, indicating firm but not runaway pricing.
Time on market highlights how buyers and sellers are negotiating pace and price. Homes are spending a median of 42 days on the market, down 19.23% from last month but double the time from a year ago, and about 29.7% of sales are closing above list with an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.99, while roughly 23% of listings see a price drop. Compared with Oakland County as a whole, where the typical home value is about $338,000, Royal Oak tracks closely but shows slightly stronger projected values and tighter supply than the county’s 2,122 listings. In this evolving environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands Royal Oak’s numbers and trends.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Kathy and Sue have been amazing. From selling my home to the endless searching for a new one. They have supported our family through the entire process. Staging, repairs, contractors, sales, support and continually being available within minutes each time I called are only a few things that I valued about them representing us through this process. Thank you both for your professionalism and strong representation.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Tiffanie. She went above and beyond to help me sell my home—truly exceeding every expectation. Even while preparing for her own wedding and later dealing with the flu, Tiffanie remained attentive, professional, and fully committed to getting my house sold. Her dedication, communication, and work ethic never wavered, and I always felt like a priority. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and selfless, especially during such a busy and challenging season of life. I am incredibly grateful for her support and would highly recommend Tiffanie to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares and delivers results.”
“Hi,it was a great experience working with Jodi. She is very professional realtor. She makes sure that you understand every situation,and process that you face . When it came time to look for houses Jodi got right on it . We started out looking for houses on the East side of the city, and made sure what tipe of house and location where you want to live . It was not an easy task, but after looking at twelve houses it took a lot of energy . We stayed on the look until we got finished. After looking on the East side we started looking on the west side . We looked at nine more houses on the west side. Out of the nine houses on the west side it was one house that caught my eyes. I did fine three houses on the east side, but nether house did not have a driveway. The house that caught me eyes on the west side did have a driveway. When I walked in that house on Sorrento it was everything I was looking for. I told Jodi we did not have to look no further. I put in a bid,and went for it and was.”

Since he has construction experience, I felt completely comfortable with him guiding me in what to ignore and what to pay close attention to when reviewing home inspections.

I can't be more thankful for crossing paths with Jeremy, and I highly recommend him to anyone who might be selling or purchasing a home in the future.”
“Natasha was absolutely wonderful to work with! She answered all of our questions quickly and was incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process. She was easy to talk to, always available when we needed her, and truly made the experience of buying our first home far less intimidating. Because we were across the country for much of the process, Natasha went above and beyond by attending many open houses on our behalf, something we appreciated so much. She was flexible, supportive, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Thank you for everything, Natasha! We loved getting to know you and will definitely call you when it’s time to sell. ☺️”
