Metro Detroit Housing Market: Summer 2025 Snapshot

metro-detroit-real-estate-summer-2025

The Metro Detroit housing market is heading into summer with a mix of momentum, strategy, and shifting trends — and if you're planning to buy or sell this season, understanding the local data could make all the difference.

Whether you’re in Livonia, Northville, Novi, Plymouth, Canton, Farmington Hills, or South Lyon, here’s what’s happening across the region right now.

Quick Stats (June 2025)

  • Metro Detroit Median Sale Price: Up 5.8% compared to last summer

  • Average Days on Market: 10–14 days across most suburbs

  • Inventory: Increasing slightly, but still below 2019 levels

  • Multiple Offers: Still common on well-priced, move-in ready homes

What’s Fueling the Market This Summer?

1. Steady Buyer Demand: Families and move-up buyers are still driving activity, especially in areas with strong schools and family-friendly neighborhoods.


2. Low Inventory: While we’re seeing a slow rise in listings, it’s still a competitive market — especially under $500K.


3. Generational Shifts: We're seeing more Baby Boomers downsizing (hello, Silver Tsunami 👋), while Millennials and Gen Z buyers are entering the market in big numbers.

What This Means for You

Sellers: This is still a strong market — but buyers are more selective. Clean, staged, and well-priced homes are selling fast and with solid offers.

Buyers: The frenzy has calmed a bit, but being prepared is key. The best homes are still going quickly, so working with an agent who’s fast, strategic, and local (hi, that’s me) matters more than ever.
