Recorded home market data for Michigan

Across the 42 Michigan cities we cover, the median of the typical home values was $295,380 in July 2026. The spread inside the state is wide: the typical home in Flint was $67,030 and in Ann Arbor it was $536,036, which is why the page for your own city is the one worth reading.

Of the 42 Michigan cities with data, 39 saw homes go under contract in 15 days or fewer and 1 took 31 days or more, in July 2026. These historical medians exclude the time from contract to closing and do not establish your sale's timetable.

Values are mostly rising: 41 of the 42 Michigan cities with a year-over-year figure went up, 1 went down. This historical index comparison does not determine which selling option suits your property.

Figures come from Zillow's public research data and describe whole cities, not individual houses.

Where to start: closing in Michigan

A customary closing role does not establish whether an attorney is required for your sale. Confirm who may handle settlement and which tasks need legal advice with a licensed local professional. The practical points to discuss:

• Title companies conduct closings.
• Michigan levies both a state and a county transfer tax, customarily paid by the seller.
• The seller disclosure statement is required by statute and buyers can walk away if it arrives late.
• A qualifying transfer generally uncaps taxable value in the calendar year after the transfer, but certain transfers are exempt. Do not promise a buyer that their tax bill will match yours or necessarily be higher. Ask the local assessor how the rules apply to this property and transfer.

Official property-tax source: Michigan Treasury ownership changes and taxable value.
