The Oakland County housing market in May 2026
Prices in Oakland County edged up to a median of $385,000 in May 2026, 2.9% higher than a year earlier. Homes listed that month had a median asking price of $405,000, and sold for a median of $209 per square foot. The average sale closed at 100.5% of asking price and 45% of homes sold above list, so buyers are still bidding against each other.
There were 2,988 homes for sale at the end of May, up 8% from a year earlier, or 2.1 months of supply, still on the sellers' side. The typical home that sold had been listed for 16 days, about the same as a year earlier. 61% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. Compared with May 2025, owners listed 5% more homes and sales were down 11%.
28% of listings had a price cut in May 2026 (0.7 points more than a year earlier), a moderate share.
For FSBO outreach, this means many Oakland County owners can still sell on their own, so lead with pricing data and a net-proceeds comparison rather than an offer to list.

Oakland County since 2019
The median sale price averaged about $368,000 from March to May 2026, up 46% from about $252,000 in the same months of 2019.
Prices peaked at about $383,000 (three-month average) in the three months to August 2025 and are now about 4% below that high.
Supply is still below pre-pandemic levels: about 2,730 homes were for sale in an average month in spring 2026, against 4,020 in spring 2019, 32% fewer.
In spring 2026 the median time on market averaged about 23 days, 2 days less than in spring 2019 (24 days).
Owners are listing about 25% fewer homes a month than they did in spring 2019.
For FSBO outreach, supply that is still tight by 2019 standards means a well-priced Oakland County FSBO can sell fast, so reach owners early.
When Oakland County homeowners list
Listing activity is strongly seasonal in Oakland County. Over the three years to May 2026, new listings peaked in May and July, with May running about 37% above the monthly average, and bottomed out in December, about 52% below it. Homes that sold in June had spent the least time on the market (a median of about 13 days), and those that sold in January the most (about 38 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 January, so FSBO owners still on the market then have often been waiting for months and tend to be the most open to help.

Working Oakland County FSBO leads
- Split the list by city. Troy (median $489,900) and Pontiac (median $157,750) sit 211% apart on price, and Troy also had the most sales in May 2026 (81), so one script will not fit every owner.
- Bring the numbers. On a $385,000 home, each 1% of commission is about $3,850, the money most FSBO owners are trying to keep, so a net-sheet comparison lands better than a pitch.
- Time it. Put your heaviest outreach into May and July, when the most Oakland County homes come to market, and ease off in December.
- Use the 16-day mark. Half of the Oakland County homes that sold in May 2026 had been listed 16 days or less, so an FSBO still for sale after that is likely stalling.
- Stay compliant and verify. Stop contacting any owner who says "no agents" or "no investors", confirm ownership and liens in Oakland County records before an offer, and add skip tracing for records without a phone number.
