The Ingham County housing market in May 2026

Homes listed that month had a median asking price of $235,000, and sold for a median of $144 per square foot. The average sale closed at 100.2% of asking price and 50% of homes sold above list, so buyers are still bidding against each other.

The typical home that sold had been listed for 31 days, 1 day longer than a year earlier. 58% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing.

23% of listings had a price cut in May 2026 (0.9 points more than a year earlier), a moderate share.
For FSBO outreach, this means many Ingham County owners can still sell on their own, so lead with pricing data and a net-proceeds comparison rather than an offer to list.

When Ingham County homeowners list
Listings follow a clear seasonal cycle in Ingham County. Over the three years to May 2026, new listings peaked in May and June, with May running about 25% above the monthly average, and bottomed out in December, about 44% below it. Homes that sold in June had spent the least time on the market (a median of about 26 days), and those that sold in February the most (about 52 days).
Have your list, scripts and mail pieces ready by April, so you reach new FSBO owners in their first weeks. Sales are slowest around February, so FSBO owners still on the market then have often been waiting for months and tend to be the most open to help.

Working Ingham County FSBO leads
- Split the list by city. East Lansing (median $350,500) and Lansing (median $147,500) sit 138% apart on price, and Lansing also had the most sales in May 2026 (135), so one script will not fit every owner.
- Use the 31-day mark. Half of the Ingham County homes that sold in May 2026 had been listed 31 days or less, so an FSBO still for sale after that is likely stalling.
- Sell the upside. With 50% of homes selling above list, agents do better pitching wider exposure and competing offers than a discount.
- Time it. Put your heaviest outreach into May and June, when the most Ingham County homes come to market, and ease off in December.
- Stay compliant and verify. Stop contacting any owner who says "no agents" or "no investors", confirm ownership and liens in Ingham County records before an offer, and add skip tracing for records without a phone number.
