Key Findings

  1. The primary market indicator, the median sold price, is 632,000, which should be treated as the most reliable measure of realized market value and recent transaction activity in the neighborhood.
  2. There is a notable gap between the median listing price (878,500) and the median sold price (632,000), which suggests pricing friction where seller expectations may be elevated relative to recent transaction prices; this gap may indicate negotiation pressure or selective price corrections.
  3. Market liquidity appears slower based on the median days on market (254), which is consistent with longer selling timelines and suggests slower sales velocity rather than rapid turnover—pricing and time-on-market should be factored into pricing strategy and holding-cost stress tests.
  4. Market fundamentals show a hot market with upward pressure on prices and rents: the market temperature is hot, price year-over-year trend is up, and rent year-over-year trend is up; interest rate signals are mixed—interest rate pressure is elevated and, per provided data, Current 30-year fixed mortgage rates in Oakland Township MI are 6.49%, which is 0.42% lower than the 6.91% average observed in this market earlier in 2026.
