West Michigan Real Estate Market Update: Spring 2026 Trends for Buyers and Sellers

West Michigan Housing Market Is Heating Up!
 
As is typical in West Michigan, more buyers become serious about their home search as the weather warms.  We have seen a significant uptick in buyer activity and quick sales for our sellers.  Available home inventory is up compared to this time last year. However, with interest rates about 1% lower than last spring, the number of buyers shopping for those same homes has also increased. West Michigan remains a desirable place to live, but there aren’t enough homes—especially affordable ones—on the market.
