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.

Leelanau County Home Inventory 2004-2022
Leelanau County Home Inventory 2004-2022
Leelanau County home inventory remains near it’s lowest level since our data began! Back in 2009-2011 we had a 2-4 year supply of existing homes on the market. Fast forward to 2021-2022 where we saw record low inventory resulting in just a 1-2 month supply of available houses. This record low inventory in 2022 resulted in just 15% of the total amount of houses come on the market that we saw in 2010. Currently in January 2023 we have a 1 month supply of available existing homes with less than 34 available houses on the market throughout the entire county and only 20 listed for sale <$1 million. Most real estate economists consider a 6 month supply to be a balanced market which we are well short of and likely will be throughout at least 2023.
