How it compares in Brighton
Over the last 90 days, 205 homes sold in Brighton for a median of $454,990, about $198 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 10 days. This home is listed at $80,000, or $64 per square foot, 68% below the city median, and has been on the market 298 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Brighton sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
A buyer who lives here would pay about $10,421 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 19.86 mills for Brighton Twp and Brighton 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.
