Spring Housing Market Madness

Spoiler Alert: You'll need a Trillium Realtor® to navigate Ann Arbor's highly anticipated spring housing market madness.

March is when the Ann Arbor housing market begins to stir with the promise of spring, signaling the start of what many real estate professionals and buyers call the “spring housing market madness.” With its combination of academic cycles, seasonal shifts, and market dynamics, March marks a significant transition for buyers and sellers alike. The University of Michigan, a major player in the local economy, plays a key role—students and faculty looking to relocate or secure housing often begin their search in the spring to align with summer moves or the upcoming academic year. As a result, housing inventory begins to dwindle quickly, setting the stage for higher competition in an already highly sought-after area.

Additionally, March coincides with an uptick in favorable weather conditions, encouraging people to get serious about buying or selling homes. After the long, cold Michigan winter, buyers are eager to explore homes in person, and sellers want to take advantage of the growing demand. It’s also a time when many families and professionals aim to settle into a new home before summer, which adds urgency to the market. This confluence of factors—academic cycles, improving weather, and increased demand—creates the perfect storm for housing activity, often leading to bidding wars and rapidly escalating prices as sellers take advantage of the high demand in this limited window.

These housing market conditions are nearly impossible to navigate without the expertise of a local Realtor®. With a Trillium Realtor®, you'll have a dedicated professional to guide you through the home buying and/or selling process with ease.

"I've been working with Sandi Smith, Linda Lombardini, and others at Trillium for more than 10 years and closed on about as many contracts with them (both as buyer and as seller). We've done deals for under $40K to deals over $1M. Regardless of the pricing, every transaction received their full attention. I have really high expectations out of realtors, and I can say without a doubt that you will not find a better agency in SE Michigan. They know Ann Arbor, the surrounding areas, the people in the community and my family/business better than anyone. The LindaLom Team is very responsive and [it's] nice to know that multiple eyes are on every deal. They really listen, stay up-to-date on technology, and do the research necessary to ensure the best outcomes for their clients.

Realtors help you make some of the biggest emotional and financial decisions in your life, and Trillium Real Estate has helped my family make the best decisions."
