It is still a seller’s market for Ann Arbor single family homes, with a month supply of 4.3. Homes priced from $500k to $800k are considered to be a balanced market. Like always, higher end homes, those above $800k, are a part of a buyer’s market.
If the month supply continues in this trajectory for Ann Arbor homes, the market will soon be balanced.
