Northern Michigan saw a very strong week with just under 100 sales. There was also a noticeable drop in active listings. With tight inventories in some market segments and strong demand, sellers have a great opportunity this winter. Typically there is a significant decline in market activity along with a drop in inventory, we are seeing the drop in inventory, however demand has remained strong creating a bit of an opportunity for sellers.

Have a great week and enjoy the warm weather, winter is not far behind!!
