The Northville Split:
● 48168 (The Estates): Typical home values are now hitting $638,000+, up 6.3% over the
last 12 months.
● 48167 (Historic/Downtown): Values are holding steady near $490,000, with inventory
remaining incredibly tight as buyers prioritize walkability.
The Downs Effect: The massive Downs redevelopment has fundamentally reset the "Price
Ceiling" for downtown Northville. Luxury condos start in the upper $500,000s, while exclusive
brownstones on East Cady Street are pushing $1.7M+. This project is adding 15 acres of
parkland and unearthing 1,100 feet of the Rouge River, skyrocketing the "Lifestyle ROI" for the
entire area.
The Strategy: Sellers should list now to capitalize on the high price-per-square-foot
benchmarks set by The Downs. Buyers should look at established neighborhoods like Willow
Woods or Northville Hills for larger lots and mature trees that new developments can't yet
match.
