Michigan homebuilding reports increased activity in 2025
A recent release from the Home Builders Association of Michigan (HBAM) announced that last year’s single-family home production grew by 4.7% in 2025. This was gauged by permit activity and exhibits that a total of 15,821 single-family permits were issued. This is a welcome increase compared to 15,108 in 2024.
This report also comes as the end of year data from the federal government is delayed due to the shutdown in the fall. The estimated average market value HBAM reported for new single-family homes built last year in the state was $475,024. This is a 6.5% increase in Michigan in 2025.
““The state housing authority has done a tremendous job in trying to expand these efforts, but more needs to be done,” said Bob Filka, CEO of the HBA of Michigan. “Streamlining regulatory processes and expanding the use of innovative financial mechanisms to support the production of more attainable housing in our state is critically important.”
