What this means: Buyers continue to have more selection and negotiating room as inventory remains elevated. Sellers can still compete effectively, but pricing, presentation, and positioning remain important in a market where homes may take longer to secure a buyer.

Broker's Commentary

Derek Nemec

Broker | Bay City Property Group

Bay City pricing remains relatively steady, while homes are taking a little more time to move through the market. With inventory still favoring buyers, sellers need to be well-positioned from the start, while buyers have more opportunity to compare properties and negotiate.

Tip of the Week

Price for the Market You're In

When buyers have more homes to compare, pricing becomes one of the most important factors in getting a property noticed. A strong launch price can help generate early interest, create more showing activity, and position a home competitively before it begins accumulating additional days on market.
