Why Lee Township Is One of Michigan's Best Vacation Rental Markets
Lee Township carries a market score of 88 — strong tier — with a gross yield of 15.76%, running 9.7 points above Michigan's 6.1% state yield. The typical home value (Zillow index) runs about $343,000, and the market's 34 active listings sit inside a catchment of roughly 2.1 million people within an hour, 13.5 million within two hours, and nearly 23.9 million within three — with Kalamazoo as the nearest metro. Market-wide averages across every listing — most of them self-managed by owner-operators, without professional pricing or multi-channel distribution — put the average listing at about $54,000 a year, the top quartile at about $78,000, and the top tenth at about $105,000.

Best Times to Rent Your Lee Township Vacation Property
Revenue in Lee Township peaks in July and bottoms out in April — July revenue runs about 3.77 times April's. That's a wide peak-to-trough swing on the revenue side, not a booking or occupancy figure — and shoulder-season pricing benefits from being set deliberately, separate from peak-month rates. ROAM's approach applies dynamic, calendar-aware pricing across that curve, adjusting rates up toward the July peak and back down through the April trough.
