How it compares in Columbus
Over the last 90 days, 13 homes sold in Columbus for a median of $340,000, about $137 per square foot, and the typical one went under contract in 21 days. This home is listed at $550,000, or $215 per square foot, 57% 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 Columbus sales or ask us for the comparable sales on this one.
Property taxes for a new owner
The current owner pays about $3,743 a year. A buyer who lives here would pay about $7,552 a year once the taxable value resets after the sale, at the 2025 homestead rate of 27.19 mills for Columbus Twp and Richmond 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.
