We're dedicated to keeping you informed with up-to-date information so you can make smart real estate decisions. Today, we take a look at the conditions we're seeing in Southeastern Michigan.

We think we'll see a gradual increase in median sales prices in 2015. Despite that increase, we're also expecting an increase in interest rates - while the average for 2014 was 4.7%, the forecast for 2015 is 5.5%. In 2014, we saw existing home sales reach 4.9 million - in 2015, we expect home sales to reach 5.2 million, which means our market will continue its growth in the coming year

With the sales number going up in the coming year, we're expecting there to be a larger amount of  inventory. Because of this, we're also expecting the average number of days on market to rise in 2015, as there will be more competition when selling. These conditions are more favorable for buyers, as there will be a large inventory and fewer multiple offer situations. 

The big thing to keep your eye on is interest rates. A rising rate affects buyers and sellers alike, so we're hoping it doesn't climb much higher than the predicted 5.5%.
