The month in brief
Two markets moving in opposite directions
Clinton Township was one of the few places in Macomb County where residential supply shrank in August. Only 126 homes were for sale, down from 137. New listings fell 4.3% to 88 while closed sales rose 27.9% to 87 and pending sales rose 27.0% to 80.
Prices moved up. The median rose 6.2% to $302,000 and the average rose 7.9% to $319,117. Year to date the median is $307,950, up 2.3%. Sellers received 99.8% of list price, and homes sold in a median of 24 days, down from 35.
Condos matter more in Clinton than almost anywhere else in the county: 39 condos closed in August alongside 87 residential homes. And the condo market is loosening. Condo inventory rose from 64 to 98 units, months of supply rose from 1.7 to 2.5, and condo closings fell 29.1%.
Read this first. Clinton Township is two markets right now: residential homes getting scarcer and condos getting more plentiful. If you own or want a condo, the condo numbers are the ones to read.

Segment detail
Residential: the tightest market of the six
At 2.0 months of supply, Clinton’s residential market is firmly in sellers’ favor and tighter than the countywide 2.8. Demand is strong, with pending sales up 27% in August and 6.5% for the year, and supply isn’t keeping up.
Sale prices are rising modestly. The year-to-date median is up 2.3% and the year-to-date average is essentially flat, so the 6.2% August gain is partly a soft August 2025 comparison.
| Key metric | Aug 2026 | vs Aug 2025 | YTD 2026 | vs YTD 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New listings | 88 | −4.3% | 676 | +0.4% |

Segment detail
Condos: supply is building fast
Condo sellers listed 486 units year to date, up 22.4%, while closings rose only 3.6%. The result is 98 condos for sale, up 53.1%, and 2.5 months of supply. Condo sellers received 98.0% of list price, unchanged from a year ago.
The August condo median rose 12.5% to $225,000, but the year-to-date median of $217,500 is up a more modest 3.6%. With only 39 condo sales in the month, expect the median to bounce around.

Principal and interest on $302,000 with 20% down at 6.66%.
In August, rates weren’t the story. The 30-year fixed stayed in the mid-6s all month, only about a tenth of a point above a year earlier, so August’s Clinton Township numbers reflect supply and demand, not a rate shock.
September changed that. The 30-year fixed reached 7.28% on October 1. On a $302,000 home with 20% down, that’s about $100 a month more in principal and interest than at the end of August. Contracts signed from mid-September on are carrying that higher cost, which is why the next two reports matter.

A Michigan budgeting tip. Don’t estimate your property taxes from the seller’s tax bill. Michigan caps how fast a home’s taxable value can rise while one owner holds it, then lets it reset after a sale. Ask your lender to estimate taxes on the purchase price instead.

The bigger picture
Clinton Township versus the nation
Nationally, existing-home sales fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.98 million in August, down 1.2% from a year earlier, according to the National Association of REALTORS®. U.S. inventory reached a 4.9-month supply, the highest in more than ten years, and the national median rose 1.6% to $429,100. The Midwest median rose 3.3% to $340,400.
Clinton Township, at 2.0 months of residential supply, is tighter than the nation, and Macomb County as a whole sits at 2.8 months.
What it means
My honest take, depending on your side of the deal
If you are selling
- Residential competition is light. At 2.0 months of supply and inventory down 8%, buyers don’t have much else to choose from.
- Homes are selling fast. The median home sold in 24 days, eleven days faster than a year ago.
- Use the year-to-date number for pricing. The August median is up 6.2%, but the year-to-date gain is 2.3%.
- Condo sellers face real competition. 98 condos are for sale, up 53%. Condition and pricing matter more than they did a year ago.
- Rates rose in September. Buyers who shopped in August at 6.66% are now looking at payments above 7%.
If you are buying
- Residential buyers need to be ready. At 24 days and 99.8% of list, have your pre-approval and be ready to tour quickly.
- Condos give you room. With 98 units for sale and 2.5 months of supply, there’s time to compare and room to negotiate.
- Prices are close to the county median. Clinton’s $302,000 residential median is almost exactly the countywide $300,000.
- Re-run your numbers. If you were pre-approved in August, rates have moved since.
Worth watching: whether Clinton’s condo inventory keeps climbing. Another month like August would push condo supply toward balanced territory and hand condo buyers real leverage.
Reading the numbers
Common questions about the Clinton Township market
Are Clinton Township home prices going up?
Yes, modestly. The residential median was $302,000 in August 2026, up 6.2% from a year ago, and the year-to-date median of $307,950 is up 2.3%. The condo median rose 12.5% to $225,000 in August, and the year-to-date condo median of $217,500 is up 3.6%.
Is Clinton Township a buyer’s market or a seller’s market?
It’s still a seller’s market. Residential months of supply was 2.0 in August 2026, compared with 2.3 a year earlier; a balanced market is generally four to six months. Sellers received 99.8% of list price, and homes sold in a median of 24 days.
How does Clinton Township compare with the rest of Macomb County?
In August 2026, the Clinton Township residential median was $302,000, compared with $300,000 countywide. Homes sold in a median of 24 days, against 29 for the county, with 2.0 months of supply, against 2.8. Pending sales changed +27.0% from a year earlier, against +5.1% countywide.
Why are Clinton Township condo listings rising so fast?
More owners are listing than buyers are absorbing. Year to date, 486 condos have been listed in Clinton Township, up 22.4%, while condo closings rose only 3.6%. Condo inventory reached 98 units in August 2026, up 53.1%, and months of supply rose from 1.7 to 2.5.
How much have mortgage rates changed, and what does it do to my payment?
The 30-year fixed averaged 6.66% on August 27, 2026, close to the 6.56% of a year earlier, then climbed to 7.28% by October 1. On a $302,000 home with 20% down, principal and interest is about $1,553 a month at 6.66% and about $1,653 at 7.28%, a difference of roughly $100.
Will my property taxes be the same as the seller’s?
Usually not. Michigan limits how much a home’s taxable value can rise while one owner holds it, then lets it reset after a sale. A buyer’s taxes are often noticeably higher than the seller’s, especially on homes owned for many years. Budget from an estimate based on your purchase price, not the seller’s current bill.
Does the Clinton Township median tell me what my home is worth?
No. The median blends very different homes, sizes, ages and conditions, and a change in the mix of what sold can move it without any single home changing value. Use these figures for direction, then get a comparative market analysis of your specific home to know what it’s worth.
What does this mean for your address?
Township numbers set the context. Your street, your lot, your square footage and your finishes set the strategy. Let’s talk through where your home, or your search, actually sits in this market.
