What makes the Leelanau County market different

  • 40% of housing units in Leelanau County stand vacant, against 10% nationally. An empty house still carries taxes, insurance and upkeep, and owners who inherited one or moved away are often ready to talk about selling.
  • 33% of Leelanau County residents are 65 or older, against 17% nationally. An older owner base is where estates, downsizing moves and inherited homes come from.
  • 86% of homes in Leelanau County are single-family detached houses (U.S.: 61%), so most deals here are standalone houses, the easiest kind to value against nearby sales and to resell.
  • HUD sets the fair market rent for a 3-bedroom home for the Traverse City, MI area at $1,787 a month, against a median home value of $407K in Leelanau County. Set those two side by side to judge whether a buy-and-hold rental pencils out before you make an offer.
  • Permits were issued for 159 new housing units in Leelanau County in 2025, down 21% from 2024. With less new supply coming, existing homes carry more of the market.
