The Michigan housing market is sending mixed signals right now, and if you're confused, you're not alone. Prices are still rising, inventory is growing, buyer demand is more selective, and sellers are starting to feel pressure — all at the same time. In this Michigan housing market update, I break down what's actually happening across the state heading into 2025 and 2026 using real data from sources like Zillow, Redfin, and the FHFA, combined with what I'm seeing firsthand every single day helping buyers and sellers navigate Michigan real estate. We'll talk about why some homes are sitting while others still spark bidding wars, where buyers have leverage again, why sellers are adjusting expectations, how the “rate lock” effect is shaping inventory, and why Michigan is really a collection of micro-markets behaving very differently across Southeast Michigan, West Michigan, Southwest Michigan, Mid-Michigan, and Northern Michigan. I'm Andrew McManamon, a Michigan Realtor who helps people move to, from, and within the state of Michigan, and I love it — and while this isn't legal or financial advice, it is real-world insight designed to help you make smarter decisions. If you're thinking about buying, selling, or moving to Michigan now or in the future, this breakdown will give you the clarity you need before making a move. Links to my Michigan Homebuyer Guide, Bidding War Guide, and Living in Michigan newsletter are below, and I'd love to hear what you're seeing in your local market — drop a comment and join the conversation.MENTIONED VIDEOS ⬇️→Michigan Radon Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7vcs9nnV5s→Michigan Climate Haven Video: https://youtu.be/h3iE33gu_C4→Michigan Septic's Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO31mILXH3I→Michigan Water Rights Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l71E4VdiHCMCONTACT ME

Despite a record turnout in early December, trucker Noah Melton of small fleet Big P Express out of Southwest Michigan isn't 100% satisfied. Melton's one of the organizers of the Red Arrow Convoy, running 45 miles along the Red Arrow Highway near Lake Michigan every year for the past three, and growing in size and participation, that's certain. A grand total 89 trucks participated this year: https://www.facebook.com/groups/232190276570407 Yet "I want to break 100 trucks in the worst way," Melton told Overdrive Senior Editor Matt Cole in the conversation featured in this week's podcast to take you into the Christmas holiday. The Red Arrow Convoy's origins trace back to a fellow driver's efforts at its start to make a cheerful display for members of the wider community in the region, and to have a little fun among like-minded truckers -- the parade features all manner of straight trucks, tractors and trailers (even freight in some instances) dolled up with Christmas lights and other decorations offering plenty spectacle to set the stage for Christmas festivities. It's clear communities the trucks pass through along the highway have embraced the event, with many townships coordinating their official Christmas celebrations with it and "thousands of people from local communities" coming out just to see the parade, Melton said. "Some even have campfires next to the road." Imagine it: "89 trucks all lit up with Christmas lights, horns blaring and jake brakes popping," Melton described the event. "You would see grown men and grown women jumping up and down like a kid in a candy store." From the start of the event, though, a main goal has been simply to "give the drivers something fun to do before Christmas, as some of us are on the road" during the actual holiday, Melton added, yet it's "also to raise awareness to the community that truckers are just regular people like them." With the podcast, hear Cole's talk with Noah Melton about his trucking history, most of it with Big P Express, and the story of how the regional group of truck drivers having a little fun around the Christmas season quickly came to be the big undertaking that is the Red Arrow Convoy today. With plenty future plans, too. Drivers interested in participating next year can join the drivers' private group for planning purposes here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/705730534890286
