How it compares in Sterling Heights

Over the last 90 days, 337 homes sold in Sterling Heights for a median of $315,000, about $145 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 10 days. This home is listed at $490,000, or $121 per square foot, 17% below the city median, and has been on the market 31 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Sterling Heights sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $7,516 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $7,516 to $9,633 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 38.93 mills for Sterling Heights City and Utica 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.
