Summer is quickly approaching and with it comes the May 2022 market update for Oakland County.

That is an 11.34% increase in active listings. Like we have seen in the previous months, May’s sales are also down from 2021 by 17.49% or 277 fewer sales.
The market is adjusting with mortgage rates rising back up compared to what we have seen in previously with low rates and increased buyer demand (click to read previous updates).
With regard to additional statistics about the current market, the list-to-sale price ratio has increased by 1.2% to 103.0%. The current ratio* sits over 100.0%. This means on average, sellers are receiving the full value of their asking price or more in Oakland County.
*This is an averaged value, so there will be sales that sold for less and sales that sold for more; not all sales are represented in our MLS*
