Make your move more affordable! The seller is offering a 2/1 temporary mortgage rate buydown for a qualified buyer, reducing the buyer’s interest rate by 2% in the first year and 1% in the second year. The rate then returns to the original note rate for the remainder of the loan term. This incentive can help lower your initial monthly mortgage payments and give you more financial flexibility as you settle into your new home!

How it compares in Ottawa Lake
Over the last 90 days, 14 homes sold in Ottawa Lake for a median of $233,750, about $180 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 10 days. This home is listed at $749,900, or $330 per square foot, 83% above the city median, and has been on the market 70 days. Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Ottawa Lake sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $7,754 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $7,351 to $10,265 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 27.11 mills for Whiteford Twp and Whiteford 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.
