How it compares in Ypsilanti
Over the last 90 days, 215 homes sold in Ypsilanti for a median of $300,000, about $182 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 15 days.

Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Ypsilanti sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $1,072 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $1,002 to $4,333 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 45.15 mills for Ypsilanti Twp and Van Buren schools, plus the 1% administration fee. Michigan resets a home's taxable value the year after it sells, so the seller's bill isn't a good number to budget with. See the math.
