Low Inventory Continues to Shape the Market

One of the biggest factors influencing the Genesee County housing market is limited inventory.

In February, the county had just 2.03 months of housing supply. In real estate terms, a balanced market usually has about six months of inventory, which means Genesee County remains strongly tilted toward sellers.

There were 789 active listings during the month, slightly higher than the previous month but still far below what would be needed to fully satisfy buyer demand.

Low supply often creates competition among buyers, which can drive prices upward.

Home Prices Saw a Major Increase

Home values experienced a noticeable increase during February.

The median sold price rose to $209,000, representing a 15.5% month-over-month increase.

The median estimated home value in Genesee County is now approximately $226,650, reflecting a 5.4% increase over the past year.

These numbers highlight how steady demand and limited housing supply continue to support rising home values throughout the region.

Buyer Demand Remains Strong

Despite rising prices, buyer activity remains very active.

During February:

368 new homes were listed
325 homes went under contract
354 homes remained pending
223 homes closed

These numbers show that buyers are still actively competing for available homes.

Homes also continue to sell relatively quickly, with a median time on market of 34 days.

Sellers Continue to See Strong Offers

Another key trend in the Genesee County housing market is strong seller negotiation power.

Homes sold for about 98% of their list price, which indicates buyers are often making competitive offers to secure homes in a limited inventory environment.

For homeowners considering selling, this type of market can create excellent opportunities.

What Buyers Should Know

For buyers entering the market, preparation is important.

Working with a knowledgeable local agent can help you:

• Understand pricing trends
• Move quickly when the right home appears
• Structure strong offers in competitive situations

With the right strategy, buyers can still find great opportunities even in a competitive market.

What Sellers Should Know

For sellers, current conditions are favorable.

Limited inventory combined with strong buyer demand means well-priced homes are often attracting serious interest.

Proper pricing, strong marketing, and expert guidance can help sellers maximize both the speed and price of their sale.
