Inventory Remains Tight in the Clarkston MI Housing Market

One of the most important indicators of market conditions is the months supply of inventory, which measures how long it would take to sell all current homes if no new listings came on the market.

In February, Clarkston had just 1.03 months of inventory, a significant drop of nearly 29% from the previous month. In general:

0–3 months indicates a seller’s market
4–6 months indicates a balanced market
6+ months indicates a buyer’s market

With inventory this low, sellers continue to have a strong advantage.

There were 41 active listings in February, while 30 new homes came onto the market, offering buyers a few new opportunities but not enough to dramatically shift supply levels.

Buyer Activity Remains Strong

Despite rising home prices, buyers remained active throughout the Clarkston area.

During February:

33 homes went under contract
Pending listings increased 47.4% month over month
Median pending list price reached $500,000

Homes entering contract also moved quickly in many cases, with some pending listings spending only 3 median days on market before securing a buyer.

These numbers indicate that buyers are still actively competing for desirable homes.

Home Prices Continue to Rise

The Clarkston MI housing market saw noticeable price growth during February.

Key pricing metrics include:

Median sold price: $382,000
Median list price (new listings): $417,450
Median active listing price: $499,900
Median price per square foot: $208 (sold homes)

The median sold price increased 6.8% month over month, showing continued upward pressure on pricing.

Homes also sold for 95.6% of their asking price, which indicates strong negotiation positions for sellers.

Days on Market and Sales Volume

Nearly $12 million in total closed sales volume

These figures reflect consistent buyer activity, even during the slower winter months.

For buyers, preparation is key. Working with an experienced local agent can help you move quickly when the right home becomes available.
