How it compares in Warren

Over the last 90 days, 392 homes sold in Warren for a median of $220,000, about $122 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 13 days.

Size, condition, updates and the exact street all move the number, so treat this as context. See recent Warren sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.

Property taxes for a new owner

The current owner pays about $1,751 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $1,760 to $6,022 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 52.99 mills for Warren City and Van Dyke 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.
