Transcript

Birmingham's median sale price just hit $1,020,000 dollars in June 2026 — that's the highest of any city we track across Metro Detroit. Meanwhile Northville is sitting at a Zillow Home Value Index of six hundred thousand. I've got kids in local schools and rentals scattered across the suburbs, so these numbers hit close to home. Here's what's wild — communities that are literally fifteen minutes apart can differ by half a million dollars. Birmingham is tight inventory, top-rated schools, walkable downtown. But if you're a buyer looking for real value right now, Novi, Canton, and Livonia are where I'd be looking — strong schools, newer construction, and room to build equity. Homeowners in Birmingham and Northville who bought three to five years ago are sitting on serious gains. The full breakdown with all fifteen cities is in the blog — link's in the description.
