It’s interesting to see that, looking ahead to 2026, the country’s hottest housing markets are expected to be in the Northeast and Midwest suburbs. These areas are seeing incredibly high demand, with inventory still 60% below pre-pandemic levels. Homes are not only selling above asking price, but buyers are also coming in prepared—with larger down payments and higher credit scores. As someone who’s helped hundreds of families buy and sell in our own Michigan communities like Oxford, Metamora, and Lapeer, I know just how much preparation and local insight matter in a competitive market. It’s a reminder that even in fast-changing conditions, having an experienced advocate by your side can make all the difference in navigating your move successfully.
