The average sales price for an existing home in Michigan increased by 2.9 percent in August to $119,446, up from $116,116 in July, and was 5.3 percent higher than the median price of $113,412 in August of last year.

Of the 41 boards that provide data for the monthly report, twenty-nine reported gains in home sales or were unchanged over the previous year with Northeast Michigan (+65.5%), Monroe County (+38.5%), West Central (+33.3%), Lenawee County (+29.9%) and Emmet (+26.7%) reporting the largest increases.

Branch County (-46.3%), Down River (-30.5%), St. Joseph County (-24.3%), and Shiawassee (-20.3%) posted the largest declines in annual sales.

Oakland County recorded the most sales for the month with an estimated 2,002 home sales, up from 1,740 the previous month, while Greater Wayne County followed with an estimated 1,614 home sales for the month, up from 1,482 in July.
