A clear read on pricing and pace for this month.
If you are deciding whether to move now or wait, Washington, Michigan gives me a pretty clear answer for May 2026. Last month, a typical sale took 17 days and the median sold price was $510,500.
Last month in Washington, Michigan, the median sold price was $510,500 and a typical sale took 17 days. I read that as a market where well-priced homes still move, but only when the pricing is sharp enough to earn attention quickly.
For a seller, I would treat that as a timing problem first and a pricing problem second. Washington, Michigan also showed a 2.96-month supply, which tells me the market is not loose enough for guesswork.
I would price with discipline, watch the first response closely, and make the first two weeks count. I would also watch the gap between list and sale behavior, because recent sales landed at 95.5% of asking.
