How it compares in Ann Arbor
Over the last 90 days, 328 homes sold in Ann Arbor for a median of $469,500, about $244 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 18 days. This home is listed at $399,000, or $233 per square foot, 5% below the city median, and has been on the market 7 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Ann Arbor sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $3,736 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $3,837 to $8,659 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 42.97 mills for Northfield Twp and Whitmore Lake 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.
