Top Sellers: The region's top 50 volume realtors for 2023
May 2024
Residential sales for 2023 were down from 2022 for the five-county area in both units sold and overall sales volume, according to year-end totals from the Northern Michigan Multiple Listing Service (MLS). But what is up is the average sales price of a home, reaching a new record high of $502,697, which is significantly higher than the prior year’s record high of $466,940. Though inventory remains tight and mortgage interest rates have nearly doubled since 2022, demand hasn’t waned much.
Navigating the market's ups and downs are the region's highly-skilled real estate agents. Below is our annual list of the top 50 real estate sellers in the five-county area. The list includes ALL SOLDS, including single-family residential and commercial in Grand Traverse, Leelanau, Benzie, Kalkaska and Antrim counties.
Editor’s note: For the past seven years the TCBN has published the ranking for single-family residential sales in Grand Traverse, Leelanau, Benzie, Kalkaska and Antrim counties by local sellers. The ranking is based on the official MLS data provided by Realtors to their regional association. TCBN did not receive any MLS database access nor any information directly from Aspire North Realtors or Northern Great Lakes Realtors MLS for these rankings. Data is published as provided with no changes or manipulations.
Those with an asterisk (in the top 25 only) are Realtors who work as “teams,” where properties sold by 2+ individuals are listed under one person's name.
For commercial-only sales, see the second list below.
