How it compares in Birmingham

Over the last 90 days, 101 homes sold in Birmingham for a median of $915,000, about $330 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 18 days. This home is listed at $6,250,000, or $792 per square foot, 140% above the city median, and has been on the market 2 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Birmingham sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $18,633 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $13,932 to $120,386 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 38.14 mills for Birmingham City and Birmingham 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.
