We’ll cover popular lake communities across Oakland County, Livingston County, Washtenaw County, Macomb County, Monroe County, and Wayne County, including well-known destinations like Lake St. Clair, Cass Lake, Orchard Lake, Lake Orion, Whitmore Lake, Chemung Lake, Crooked Lake, and Lake Erie waterfront communities.Whether you're searching for a full-time lake home, second home, retirement property, or relocation destination, understanding how each lake behaves year-round is critical before buying.📘 Download the 74-Page Living in Michigan Guide below for a deeper breakdown of housing, taxes, lifestyle, and relocation tipsRIGHT HERE: https://livinginmichigan.com/#buyer-guideCONTACT ME 👇📱Call or Text: 810-360-3488 📨Email: [email protected]🌐 www.LivingInMichigan.com📅Schedule a Phone Consultation: → https://livinginmichigan.com/contact/📘 Michigan Relocation Guide: → https://conta.cc/3Def6udSUBSCRIBE ⬇️→YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2LoYJV3→Weekly Newsletter: https://shorturl.at/4u0VAOTHER GREAT VIDEO PLAYLISTS 📽→Places To Live In Michigan: https://bit.ly/3QcV3lT→Michigan Information: https://bit.ly/3mJ8a0z→Things To Do In Michigan: https://bit.ly/3xp7Fhc→Living In Michigan Tours: https://bit.ly/3aUkw36→Michigan For Sale: https://bit.ly/3NMO5T2→Real Estate News & Information: https://bit.ly/3mIZUxvFOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA 📲 →Instagram: https://instagram.com/andrew.mcmanamon→Facebook: https://facebook.com/andrewmcmanamonr...→Twitter: https://twitter.com/andrewmcmanamon→LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/andrew-mcmanamon→DIY Home Inspiration: https://instagram.com/diyhometransfor...LISTEN TO MY PODCAST 🎙️→Real Estate In The Mitten: https://shorturl.at/9u0oX#livinginmichigan #bestplacesinmichigan #movingtomichigan-----------------------------Andrew McManamon is a licensed Real Estate Professional with Signature Sotheby's International Realty.

271: Lake Orion Michigan vs. Oxford Michigan (What To Know) | Living In Michigan
Oxford and Lake Orion are two of the most talked-about places to live in northern Oakland County right now, and if you’ve spent even five minutes researching Michigan relocations, you’ve probably seen both names pop up over and over again. But here’s the thing most videos don’t tell you: this isn’t a “which one is better” conversation. This is a “which one actually fits your life” conversation. Because on paper, Oxford and Lake Orion can look surprisingly similar. In real life, they can feel very different. And choosing the wrong one for the wrong reasons is one of the fastest ways to end up loving your house but quietly resenting where you live.

270: How long does it REALLY take to sell a home in Michigan right now? | Living In Michigan
The answer might surprise you — because it’s not as simple as “the market is hot” or “the market is slowing down.” In this 2026 Michigan housing market breakdown, I walk through real MLS data, inventory levels, buyer behavior shifts, seasonality, pricing strategy, and what actually determines whether a home sells in days… or sits for months.Right now, most Michigan homes are going under contract in 15–30 days — but that average hides a lot of nuance. Some homes sell in a weekend. Others take 60+ days. The difference? Alignment with today’s buyer expectations.If you're thinking about selling, buying, or relocating to Michigan, understanding these timelines can directly impact your strategy, negotiation power, and overall outcome.📘 Download the 74-Page Living in Michigan Guide below: https://livinginmichigan.com/#buyer-guide📩 Grab the Seller’s Guide to avoid common pricing mistakes: https://livinginmichigan.com/sell/💬 Comment below — are you planning to sell in 2026?CONTACT ME 👇📱Call or Text: 810-360-3488 📨Email: [email protected]🌐 www.LivingInMichigan.com📅Schedule a Phone Consultation: → https://livinginmichigan.com/contact/📘 Michigan Relocation Guide: → https://conta.cc/3Def6udSUBSCRIBE ⬇️→YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2LoYJV3→Weekly Newsletter: https://shorturl.at/4u0VAOTHER GREAT VIDEO PLAYLISTS 📽→Places To Live In Michigan: https://bit.ly/3QcV3lT→Michigan Information: https://bit.ly/3mJ8a0z→Things To Do In Michigan: https://bit.ly/3xp7Fhc→Living In Michigan Tours: https://bit.ly/3aUkw36→Michigan For Sale: https://bit.ly/3NMO5T2→Real Estate News & Information: https://bit.ly/3mIZUxvFOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA 📲 →Instagram: https://instagram.com/andrew.mcmanamon→Facebook: https://facebook.com/andrewmcmanamonr...→Twitter: https://twitter.com/andrewmcmanamon→LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/andrew-mcmanamon→DIY Home Inspiration: https://instagram.com/diyhometransfor...LISTEN TO MY PODCAST 🎙️→Real Estate In The Mitten: https://shorturl.at/9u0oX#livinginmichigan #movingtomichigan #relocatingtomichigan-----------------------------Andrew McManamon is a licensed Real Estate Professional with Signature Sotheby's International Realty.

Using sources like the U.S. Census, BLS, FHFA, Zillow, and Michigan Realtors, this is a no-hype reality check on affordability in Michigan today.

268: Choosing Where to Live in Southeast Michigan Isn’t Simple — Here’s Why | Living In Michigan
📍 Choosing Where to Live in Southeast Michigan Isn’t Simple — Here’s WhyIf you ask ten people what it’s like to live in Southeast Michigan, you’ll get ten completely different answers — and none of them are wrong.That’s because Southeast Michigan isn’t one place. It’s a collection of very different lifestyles packed into one region. Where you land inside it matters far more than most people realize.In this video, I break down how life actually feels across Southeast Michigan — not which county is “better,” but why people choose one area over another and what those choices mean long-term. From Oakland County to Livingston, Macomb, Wayne, Washtenaw, Monroe, and St. Clair, each part of the region offers a different balance of space, proximity, cost, and lifestyle.This matters more now than ever. Remote work, rising interest rates, limited inventory, and affordability pressure are pushing buyers into counties they may not have considered five or ten years ago. And most relocation regret doesn’t come from choosing the wrong house — it comes from choosing the wrong area.CONTACT ME 👇📱Call or Text: 810-360-3488 📨Email: [email protected]🌐 www.LivingInMichigan.com📅Schedule a Phone Consultation: → https://livinginmichigan.com/contact/📘 Michigan Relocation Guide: → https://conta.cc/3Def6udSUBSCRIBE ⬇️→YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2LoYJV3→Weekly Newsletter: https://shorturl.at/4u0VAOTHER GREAT VIDEO PLAYLISTS 📽→Places To Live In Michigan: https://bit.ly/3QcV3lT→Michigan Information: https://bit.ly/3mJ8a0z→Things To Do In Michigan: https://bit.ly/3xp7Fhc→Living In Michigan Tours: https://bit.ly/3aUkw36→Michigan For Sale: https://bit.ly/3NMO5T2→Real Estate News & Information: https://bit.ly/3mIZUxvFOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA 📲 →Instagram: https://instagram.com/andrew.mcmanamon→Facebook: https://facebook.com/andrewmcmanamonr...→Twitter: https://twitter.com/andrewmcmanamon→LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/andrew-mcmanamon→DIY Home Inspiration: https://instagram.com/diyhometransfor...LISTEN TO MY PODCAST 🎙️→Real Estate In The Mitten: https://shorturl.at/9u0oX----------------------------Andrew McManamon is a licensed Real Estate Professional with Signature Sotheby's International Realty.

267: These 10 Michigan Cities Have the Fastest-Growing Home Prices! (Here's Why) | Living In Michigan
These 10 Michigan Cities Have the Fastest-Growing Home Prices! (Here's Why) - If I asked you where home prices in Michigan are growing the fastest, most people would immediately point to Southeast Michigan — Oakland County, Ann Arbor, or a few Detroit-area suburbs. That assumption makes sense… but according to the actual data, it’s not just wrong — it’s not even close.Out of the 10 Michigan cities with the fastest-growing home prices, only two are in Southeast Michigan. In this video, I break down where the real growth is happening, why it’s happening, and what it means for buyers, sellers, and people thinking about moving to Michigan.This isn’t a hype list or a “best places to buy” video. It’s a demand map — showing where people are actually moving, where inventory is tight, and where long-term pressure on housing prices is quietly building.📊 What this video covers:-The 10 Michigan cities with the fastest home price growth-Why West Michigan and Northern Michigan dominate this list-How scarcity, lifestyle demand, and limited new housing drive appreciation-Why fast price growth doesn’t always mean opportunity-What this data means if you’re buying, selling, or relocatingCONTACT ME 👇📱Call or Text: 810-360-3488 📨Email: [email protected]🌐 www.LivingInMichigan.com📅Schedule a Phone Consultation: → https://livinginmichigan.com/contact/📘 Michigan Relocation Guide: → https://conta.cc/3Def6udSUBSCRIBE ⬇️→YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2LoYJV3→Weekly Newsletter: https://shorturl.at/4u0VAOTHER GREAT VIDEO PLAYLISTS 📽→Places To Live In Michigan: https://bit.ly/3QcV3lT→Michigan Information: https://bit.ly/3mJ8a0z→Things To Do In Michigan: https://bit.ly/3xp7Fhc→Living In Michigan Tours: https://bit.ly/3aUkw36→Michigan For Sale: https://bit.ly/3NMO5T2→Real Estate News & Information: https://bit.ly/3mIZUxvFOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA 📲 →Instagram: https://instagram.com/andrew.mcmanamon→Facebook: https://facebook.com/andrewmcmanamonr...→Twitter: https://twitter.com/andrewmcmanamon→LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/andrew-mcmanamon→DIY Home Inspiration: https://instagram.com/diyhometransfor...LISTEN TO MY PODCAST 🎙️→Real Estate In The Mitten: https://shorturl.at/9u0oX=====00:00 Fastest Growing Cities In Michigan02:28 Belmont, Michigan03:24 East Grand Rapids, Michigan04:12 New Buffalo, Michigan04:56 Douglas, Michigan05:35 Saugatuck, Michigan06:30 Harbert, Michigan07:04 Union Pier, Michigan07:40 Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan08:08 Lake Angelus, Michigan08:48 Mackinac Island, Michigan=====#livinginmichigan #top10michigancities #bestplacetolivemichigan-----------------------------Andrew McManamon is a licensed Real Estate Professional with Signature Sotheby's International Realty.

262: The Michigan Housing Market Is Changing — Here’s What You NEED to Know | Living in Michigan
The Michigan housing market is sending mixed signals right now, and if you’re confused, you’re not alone. Prices are still rising, inventory is growing, buyer demand is more selective, and sellers are starting to feel pressure — all at the same time. In this Michigan housing market update, I break down what’s actually happening across the state heading into 2025 and 2026 using real data from sources like Zillow, Redfin, and the FHFA, combined with what I’m seeing firsthand every single day helping buyers and sellers navigate Michigan real estate. We’ll talk about why some homes are sitting while others still spark bidding wars, where buyers have leverage again, why sellers are adjusting expectations, how the “rate lock” effect is shaping inventory, and why Michigan is really a collection of micro-markets behaving very differently across Southeast Michigan, West Michigan, Southwest Michigan, Mid-Michigan, and Northern Michigan. I’m Andrew McManamon, a Michigan Realtor who helps people move to, from, and within the state of Michigan, and I love it — and while this isn’t legal or financial advice, it is real-world insight designed to help you make smarter decisions. If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or moving to Michigan now or in the future, this breakdown will give you the clarity you need before making a move.

261: City Water vs Well Water in Michigan: What Homebuyers Need to Know | Living In Michigan
City Water vs Well Water in Michigan: What Homebuyers Need to KnowWhen buying a home in Michigan, most people focus on location, price, and layout — but one of the biggest lifestyle differences buyers face is something rarely discussed: the water. Whether a home uses private well water or municipal city water can impact everything from taste and water pressure to skin and hair, appliance longevity, maintenance costs, and overall comfort in your home.In this episode, Michigan Realtor Andrew McManamon breaks down the real differences between city water and well water in Michigan for homebuyers and relocators. You’ll learn how Michigan’s geology affects water quality, what inspectors test during home inspections, how FHA and VA loan requirements differ for wells, common water issues like hardness, iron, sulfur odors, and PFAS, and how filtration systems like water softeners and reverse osmosis can dramatically improve water quality — even on city water.Andrew also shares personal experience growing up on well water, transitioning to city water, and why he installed a reverse osmosis system in his own home. This episode covers practical maintenance tips, long-term cost considerations, how water impacts appliances and water heaters, and what buyers should realistically expect when choosing between city water and well water in Michigan.If you’re moving to Michigan, buying a home here, or simply want a clearer understanding of how Michigan water systems work, this episode will help you make a more confident, informed decision.CONTACT ME 👇📱Call or Text: 810-360-3488 📨Email: [email protected]🌐 www.LivingInMichigan.com📅Schedule a Phone Consultation: → https://livinginmichigan.com/contact/📘 Michigan Relocation Guide: → https://conta.cc/3Def6udSUBSCRIBE ⬇️→YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2LoYJV3→Weekly Newsletter: https://shorturl.at/4u0VAOTHER GREAT VIDEO PLAYLISTS 📽→Places To Live In Michigan: https://bit.ly/3QcV3lT→Michigan Information: https://bit.ly/3mJ8a0z→Things To Do In Michigan: https://bit.ly/3xp7Fhc→Living In Michigan Tours: https://bit.ly/3aUkw36→Michigan For Sale: https://bit.ly/3NMO5T2→Real Estate News & Information: https://bit.ly/3mIZUxvFOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA 📲 →Instagram: https://instagram.com/andrew.mcmanamon→Facebook: https://facebook.com/andrewmcmanamonr...→Twitter: https://twitter.com/andrewmcmanamon→LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/andrew-mcmanamon→DIY Home Inspiration: https://instagram.com/diyhometransfor...LISTEN TO MY PODCAST 🎙️→Real Estate In The Mitten: https://shorturl.at/9u0oX#michigancitywater #michiganwellwater #michiganwater #livinginmichigan-----------------------------Andrew McManamon is a licensed Real Estate Professional with Signature Sotheby's International Realty.

258: Should You Move to Lake Fenton Michigan? (The Reality Is This) | Living In Michigan
Should You Move to Lake Fenton Michigan? (The Reality Is This) - There’s a lake in Michigan that locals swear by — but almost no one outside Genesee County talks about it. It’s where people live like they’re on vacation but still make it to work by eight, where pontoon parties collide with paddleboard mornings, and where sunsets look like they’ve been Photoshopped. That’s Lake Fenton. And before you start packing your floaties and checking Zillow, let’s talk about what it’s really like to live here — the good, the bad, and the stuff you only find out once your neighbor waves at you from their boat at seven in the morning.Lake Fenton sits in Fenton Township, just south of Flint and about fifteen minutes north of downtown Fenton. The township covers roughly thirty-one square miles, with the lake itself being the showstopper — sprawling across about eight hundred forty-five acres of sparkling blue water and surrounded by about fifty-six hundred year-round residents. This isn’t one of those sleepy seasonal places that goes silent after Labor Day. Lake Fenton stays active all year, with just as many ice shanties and snowmobiles in January as there are jet skis and pontoons in July. It’s not a vacation destination, it’s a lifestyle.MENTIONED LINKS ⬇️Fenton Michigan Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1h_-ctKra8Holly Michigan Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-HCBLYj4F4Linden Michigan Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwR5H2tdF7MGrand Blanc Michigan Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNxbj9Nt3M0CONTACT ME 👇📱Call or Text: 810-360-3488 📨Email: [email protected]🌐 www.LivingInMichigan.com📅Schedule a Phone Consultation: → https://bit.ly/3Gud9fc📘 Michigan Relocation Guide: → https://conta.cc/3Def6udSUBSCRIBE ⬇️→YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2LoYJV3→Weekly Newsletter: https://rb.gy/d2lwuxOTHER GREAT VIDEO PLAYLISTS 📽→Places To Live In Michigan: https://bit.ly/3QcV3lT→Michigan Information: https://bit.ly/3mJ8a0z→Things To Do In Michigan: https://bit.ly/3xp7Fhc→Living In Michigan Tours: https://bit.ly/3aUkw36→Michigan For Sale: https://bit.ly/3NMO5T2→Real Estate News & Information: https://bit.ly/3mIZUxvFOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA 📲 →Instagram: https://instagram.com/andrew.mcmanamon→Facebook: https://facebook.com/andrewmcmanamonr...→Twitter: https://twitter.com/andrewmcmanamon→LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/andrew-mcmanamon→DIY Home Inspiration: https://instagram.com/diyhometransfor...LISTEN TO MY PODCAST 🎙️→Real Estate In The Mitten: https://shorturl.at/9u0oX#lakefentonmichigan #lakefenton #lakefentonmi-----------------------------Andrew McManamon is a licensed Real Estate Professional with Signature Sotheby's International Realty.

257: Webster, Northfield & Salem Township: Michigan’s Most Overlooked Areas to Live | Living In Michigan
Looking for the perfect Michigan location that isn’t Ann Arbor, Brighton, Dexter, Chelsea, or Northville — but still gives you nature, privacy, convenience, and incredible long-term value? Then the stretch of land between them — Webster Township, Northfield Township, and Salem Township — might be the best area in southeast Michigan that nobody talks about.In this video, I break down why this “forgotten middle rectangle” (I just made that up) is becoming one of the most attractive places for people relocating to Michigan. From rolling farmland and lakes to top-rated schools, easy commutes, lower density living, and strong appreciation trends — this area offers the balance most buyers are chasing but rarely find.We’ll cover:• Location & commute times (Ann Arbor, Brighton, South Lyon, Plymouth, Novi)• Lifestyle + outdoor recreation (Hudson Mills Metropark, Whitmore Lake, Independence Lake, trails, farms)• Housing styles, prices, and inventory across the 3 townships• Property taxes by school district (Dexter, Ann Arbor, South Lyon, Plymouth-Canton, Whitmore Lake, Northville)• Utilities, internet, and the true cost of rural Michigan living• Community events, local character, and what makes each township uniqueIf you’re researching a move to Michigan and want privacy, space, and an easy commute — but not suburbia — Webster, Northfield, and Salem might check every box.If you’re thinking about moving to Michigan anytime soon, whether it’s one day or a billion, I help people do just that — and I’d love to help you too.

250: I HATED Living In White Lake Michigan! (Here's Why) | Living In Michigan
I’m just going to come right out and say it: I hated living in White Lake Township, Michigan! And I’m going to tell you why. Okay, okay – “hate” is a strong word. . In reality, I didn’t literally hate White Lake, but it definitely wasn’t the best fit for me. Today I want to share my personal, slightly exaggerated review of what it was like living in White Lake – the good, the bad, and the quirky – all from my perspective and trust me when I say I am nitpicking, every city or community has it’s good and bads. Remember, this is just one guy’s experience, not an objective verdict on White Lake as a whole. So don’t take the word “hate” too seriously here; it’s more about my preferences and how this town just didn’t quite match them. Quick backstory: If you’ve been following the channel, you might recall I actually made a video about moving to White Lake Township Michigan about three years ago. It was my one-year update after relocating from Brighton, and I talked about all kinds of things – even did a driving tour. And more recently, I made another video about why people say they hate White Lake (yup, I really leaned into that theme). I’ll link both of those videos in the description in case you want to check them out later. In that “why people hate White Lake” video, I read real comments from White Lake Township Michigan residents, and let’s just say they didn’t hold backMENTIONED LINKS ⬇️→Living In White Lake Michigan: https://youtu.be/hiq1s9IfIks?si=B_x35QNBQIbR_sCD→Why People HATE Living In White Lake Michigan: https://youtu.be/yEkAmUxsSP0?si=sWzOgnLFEU29v0lr→White Lake Michigan Vs.

244: NOBODY Talks About Lake Angelus Michigan (Here’s Why) | Living In Lake Angelus Michigan
NOBODY Talks About Lake Angelus Michigan (Here’s Why) - You've probably never heard of Lake Angelus, Michigan – and that’s exactly how the locals like it. Nestled in northern Oakland County, just a quick drive from Detroit, this place isn’t just under the radar – it’s practically invisible. No downtown, no strip malls, no welcome sign plastered with population stats. In fact, it barely has a population to begin with. With less than 300 residents, Lake Angelus is one of the tiniest cities in the entire state. But don't let the size fool you – this little lakeside community is quietly home to some of the most stunning real estate and wealthiest residents in all of Michigan. So why the radio silence? Why doesn't anyone talk about Lake Angelus? Because what happens around this private lake... tends to stay around this private lake. Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of Metro Detroit’s best-kept secrets – from its fascinating backstory and ultra-exclusive lifestyle to what it actually costs to live here and why it might just be the quietest luxury you’ve never considered.MENTIONED LINKS ⬇️→Michigan Property Tax Calculator: https://treas-secure.state.mi.us/ptestimator→Michigan property Tax PDF: https://shorturl.at/xPERiCONTACT ME 👇📱Call or Text: 810-360-3488 📨Email: [email protected]📅Schedule a Phone Consultation: → https://bit.ly/3Gud9fc📘 Michigan Relocation Guide: → https://conta.cc/3Def6udSUBSCRIBE ⬇️→YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/2LoYJV3→Weekly Newsletter: https://rb.gy/d2lwuxOTHER GREAT VIDEO PLAYLISTS 📽→Places To Live In Michigan: https://bit.ly/3QcV3lT→Michigan Information: https://bit.ly/3mJ8a0z→Things To Do In Michigan: https://bit.ly/3xp7Fhc→Living In Michigan Tours: https://bit.ly/3aUkw36→Michigan For Sale: https://bit.ly/3NMO5T2→Real Estate News & Information: https://bit.ly/3mIZUxvFOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA 📲 →Instagram: https://instagram.com/andrew.mcmanamon→Facebook: https://facebook.com/andrewmcmanamonr...→Twitter: https://twitter.com/andrewmcmanamon→LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/andrew-mcmanamon→DIY Home Inspiration: https://instagram.com/diyhometransfor...LISTEN TO MY PODCAST 🎙️→Real Estate In The Mitten: https://shorturl.at/9u0oX=====00:00 – Why Nobody Talks About Lake Angelus Michigan01:06 – Where is Lake Angelus, Michigan?
