How it compares in Ferndale

Over the last 90 days, 101 homes sold in Ferndale for a median of $262,000, about $207 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 12 days.

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $7,511 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $6,996 to $13,693 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 47.16 mills for Ferndale City and Ferndale 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.
