How it compares in Pontiac

Over the last 90 days, 117 homes sold in Pontiac for a median of $147,200, about $107 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 16 days. This home is listed at $90,000, or $114 per square foot, 7% above the city median, and has been on the market 1 day. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Pontiac sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $903 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $571 to $1,744 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 38.37 mills for Pontiac City and Pontiac 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.

Monthly payment estimate

Estimate only, 30 year fixed, includes taxes at a new owner's rate when listed. Ask us for a lender quote.
