Oakland County Luxury Market Reality Check

 

Is Oakland County still a seller’s market?

 

The answer is yes; but only if you’re in the right lane.

Single-family estates continue to command full-price offers almost overnight. Serious buyers are stepping up, and updated, well-positioned homes are moving fast.
