Oakland County Residential Home Sales Increase Slightly

Preliminary numbers for residential homes sold in Oakland County Michigan indicate a slight increase in sales during 2007. According to my search of all residential homes sold by Realtors® (based upon all homes listed and sold by all real estate companies and recorded on Realcomp II Ltd as of January 8, 2008)

During 2007 there were 10328 homes sold as compared to 9991 homes sold during 2006. Median sale prices decreased almost 10 percent in relation to 2006. Most value decreases were caused by the glut of foreclosure homes on the market.

Complete information from all Multiple Listing Services, for the first 10 months of 2007, is available at http://mirealtors.com/ by searching under Housing Statistics on the left side or top menu of the page.

Totals above do not include private sales of residential homes. Information that is more complete will be available from Oakland County Public Records shortly.
