This past summer, many Michigan communities hit record highs in the housing market. Homes sat on the market for mere days, while a year ago, the same type of home typically sat for a month or more. While a housing shortage exists, partially due to less new construction and continued low interest rates, it\u2019s still a great time to buy. The change in seasons is already showing signs of a less chaotic market.<\/p>\n\n\n
