Broker's Commentary

Derek Nemec

Broker | Bay City Property Group

Bay City home prices are holding largely steady while the pace of sales continues to stretch out, giving buyers a bit more time to shop and compare. With inventory building further into buyer's-market territory, sellers who price sharply and present well from day one are the ones still generating real interest.

Tip of the Week

Give Buyers a Reason to Stop Scrolling

With more homes to choose from, buyers can afford to be selective — so the listings that stand out are the ones that look move-in ready from the first photo. As inventory keeps climbing, small touches like fresh paint, decluttered rooms, and professional photography make the difference between a showing and a scroll-past.
