Choosing an Offer for Your Birmingham, MI Home in October 2026

By Ed Brittingham

Birmingham, MI

The strongest offer for your sale isn't necessarily the one with the highest price. I suggest comparing the full terms against your priorities before deciding what to accept or negotiate.

For Birmingham single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments, homes sold for an average of 97.5% of their asking prices in the latest market report. Housing supply, measured in months, was 3.83. The number of homes sold in the latest market report was 24. These townwide figures do not establish the financing, inspection requirements or closing terms of an individual offer.

The average percentage of asking price that homes sold for is context, not an acceptance threshold for your sale. I would weigh the offer price alongside the conditions that must be satisfied before the transaction can proceed. A higher proposed price deserves careful scrutiny when unresolved requirements could conflict with your preferred timing.

Set out each offer's price, financing documentation, inspection requirements and proposed dates in a side-by-side comparison. Identify which terms you could negotiate and which would make the agreement unworkable for you. Review unclear language with me and confirm the proposed closing timeline with the professionals handling the transaction before accepting.
