If you’ve been thinking about selling your Metro Detroit home, you’ve probably asked the big one: “Should I sell now or wait?” The truth is, the best time to sell isn’t a calendar date - it’s when your life and the market both line up.
Right now, local inventory across Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb counties is still lower than pre-pandemic norms, which means fewer competitors for your listing. Pair that with motivated buyers chasing good properties, and you’ve got a window where clean, well-priced homes move fast.
On the flip side, waiting can feel safer… until rates rise again or new listings flood the market next spring. Every month you wait could mean carrying costs, maintenance, and potential depreciation if conditions shift.
Instead of timing perfection, focus on readiness. If your home shows well, your equity’s strong, and you have your next move lined up - you’re in the sweet spot.
