How it compares in Highland Park

Over the last 90 days, 25 homes sold in Highland Park for a median of $60,000, about $46 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 27 days. This home is listed at $34,000, or $14 per square foot, 70% below the city median, and has been on the market 19 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Highland Park sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $2,713 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $800 to $1,102 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.
