We further decreased another -12.4 percent in 2019, to 1,693 homes for sale on the market in Macomb County for February.

Months of supply is a good indicator of whether a particular real estate market is favoring buyers or sellers. Typically, a market that favors sellers has less than 6 months of supply, while more than 6 months of supply indicates an excess of homes for sale that favors buyers.”
