Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Royal Oak’s rolling three-month snapshot shows more homes on the market than a year ago and a bit more breathing room for shoppers. Active listings are up about 13 percent year over year, while months of supply has climbed to 3 from roughly 2.1 last September. Even with this added inventory, homes are still moving in a reasonable 20 days at the median, only slightly faster than a year ago.
Contract activity is holding fairly steady in this view. Homes sold have inched up about 4 percent compared with the same period last year, and new listings are up just over 7 percent, suggesting a modestly busier pipeline on both sides of the table.
Pricing shows subtle shifts rather than big swings. The typical home value is almost unchanged year over year, up about half a percent, while the median list price is down roughly 5 percent, hinting that sellers may be pricing more carefully as supply grows. The share of homes selling above list has eased to about 32 percent from nearly 46 percent last year, even though the average sale-to-list ratio still sits just under 100 percent, indicating buyers are rarely getting deep discounts. With the market gauge still tilted toward sellers but conditions improving for purchasers, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these dynamics and can help them navigate their next move.

“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!”
Keller Williams KW Showcase Realty
“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.”
eXp Realty
“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.”
LPT Realty
“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.”
Keller Williams Legacy
“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!”
Jason Mitchell Group

“Much thanks and appreciation given to Mr. Shkreli and his staff. They really made my first time purchase go very smoothly. I always felt that they had my best intrests first and foremost. I would highly recommended to anyone looking to buy.”
Good Company
“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!”
eXp Realty LLC
“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.”
RE/MAX Classic
“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.”
RE/MAX The Collective Agency
“You might notice we share the same last name, Chad’s my cousin. Over the past ten years, I’ve watched him grow his real estate platform through social media, and now I fully understand why he’s growing so quickly. He was incredibly helpful, and everyone in the industry seemed to know his name. He found me everything I wanted in a perfect house, got things done quickly and effectively, and was overall a great realtor. I’m fully confident he didn’t just do all this because I’m family but because he’s truly good at what he does. Thanks, Chad!”
Arterra Realty
“Ryan sold my wife's condo in just 4 hours and mine in two weeks in the past. Now, he’s helped us close on the perfect place to raise our family. He was such a great negotiator and kept us in the loop the whole time. The process was honestly so smooth that we didn't feel any stress at all. Thanks!”
Thrive Realty Co.
“Morgan was very knowledgeable, kind and easy to work with. She responded quickly if I had an issue that needed addressing. She is a good negotiating prices . My daughter felt very comfortable with her also.”
Next Level Realty
“Kevin did a great job selling my house. The market is pretty tough right now. We had multiple offers in the first weekend and he got it sold well above asking price. Would recommend him to anyone looking to sell their home!”
EXP Realty
“In today’s real estate market, having the right realtor matters more than ever. You need more than someone who just helps you buy or sell a house. You need a realtor like Mo, who understands and closely monitors the broader economic factors affecting the real estate market—from inflation and higher interest rates to shifting consumer sentiment and homeownership costs, including homeowners insurance. Because Mo understands these factors, he can look beyond the transaction itself and understand the individual needs of both buyers and sellers. He works hard to match people with the right opportunities and to help both sides reach a fair deal. That’s exactly what he did for me, and honestly, I don’t think I would have sold my home this year if I hadn’t switched to Mo. And on top of all that, he’s genuinely a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Mo to anyone looking to buy or sell a home—you’ll love working with him!”
Real Estate One
“We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to help us through the process of buying our home. From the very beginning, he was so friendly, easygoing, and genuinely easy to work with. He was always quick to respond to our questions and made us feel like we were a priority throughout the entire process. Buying a home can be stressful, but he made everything feel so much easier and more manageable. We always felt like we could reach out when we needed something, and we never felt pressured or rushed. He truly went above and beyond to make the experience as smooth and painless as possible. We’re so thankful we had him by our side during such an important time for our family. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
Real Estate One
“We had a wonderful experience working with Cynthia to purchase our new construction home. She was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and always responsive throughout the entire process. She was there to answer our questions, guide us through each step, and make what can be a stressful process feel much easier. Cynthia truly went above and beyond for us, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor. She is absolutely wonderful at what she does!”
