How it compares in Royal Oak
Over the last 90 days, 257 homes sold in Royal Oak for a median of $350,000, about $206 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 12 days. This home is listed at $299,999, or $210 per square foot, about the same as the city median, and has been on the market 42 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Royal Oak sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $5,665 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $5,529 to $5,751 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 37.96 mills for Royal Oak City and Royal Oak 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.
