How it compares in Detroit
Over the last 90 days, 1,214 homes sold in Detroit for a median of $99,950, about $71 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 29 days. This home is listed at $129,000, or $103 per square foot, 45% above 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 Detroit sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $987 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $992 to $4,181 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 64.18 mills for Detroit City and Detroit 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.
