Leelanau Vacant Land Inventory Update - Fall 2023
12/1/2023 Leelanau County Vacant Land Inventory UPDATE! Although home inventory increased a small amount this year, vacant land inventory in Leelanau County remains at it's lowest level in 20+ years with just 120 available parcels on the market compared to 500+ parcels for sale in the summer of 2020 and nearly 1,000 parcels for sale during the summer of 2014!
Leelanau Home Inventory Update - Fall 2023
11/29/23 Leelanau County Home Inventory UPDATE! Good news, inventory actually increased in 2023!!! Throughout 2016-2020 we saw between 325-450 active houses on the market in the peak of summer, that number dropped to just 125 during the summer of 2021 and the summer of 2022 but INCREASED to about 175 available houses during the summer of 2023. This summer we went from 1-2 months up to 2-3 months of inventory of residential real estate in Leelanau County. Months of inventory is the relationship of sales pace to the number of properties currently on the market if no additional homes were added to the supply. Most economist agree that 6 months of inventory is a balanced market, less is a Seller’s market, and more than 6 months is a Buyer’s market. Note: The data is only for Leelanau County.
