Ann Arbor · Home Value
What is your Ann Arbor home worth?
A home value built from the sales near you by someone who has seen your house, not a formula.
Why Ann Arbor home values change block by block
If you're asking what your Ann Arbor home is worth, the answer depends on details an online estimate can't see. In this city, a few blocks can change a home's value. A home you can walk downtown from and a similar one a short drive away can sell very differently.
That's why I build every Ann Arbor home value from the sales on your own streets, after I've walked through your house. It's free, and you don't have to be ready to sell to ask.

What I look at in an Ann Arbor home
Some of what matters here is specific to Ann Arbor. How close is the home to downtown, campus, or the hospital? On the Old West Side, does it have a garage, and has it been added onto? In Geddes Heights, does the lot back up to the Arb, and how steep is the street? In Ann Arbor Hills, what is the architecture, and how big is the lot?
Then there's the house itself: its condition, its updates, and its layout. In a home around 100 years old, the updates you can't see, from the roof to the systems, matter as much as the kitchen.
I compare all of that with three groups of nearby homes: the ones that sold, the ones for sale now, and the ones that didn't sell. Read more about how I price a home.
What you get, and what you can do with it
After I walk through your home, I show you the homes I compared, why I chose them, and where yours fits. You see the numbers, not just the answer.
Some homeowners use the number to plan a sale. Some use it to see what they could put toward a bigger home or a smaller one. Either way, the decision is yours. If you do decide to sell, we price your home together. Read about selling your home in Ann Arbor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Ann Arbor home worth more or less than the online estimate?
An online estimate can't see inside your home or tell how close it is to downtown, campus, or the Arb. Those details move value in Ann Arbor, so I compare your home with the sales on nearby streets.
Does a garage matter for an Old West Side home's value?
It can. Not every Old West Side home has a garage, so homes with and without one compare against different sales.
Is the Ann Arbor home value free?
Yes. There's no cost, and asking doesn't commit you to selling.
Ann Arbor
What home value looks like in Ann Arbor
A university city on the Huron River, with century-old homes near downtown, 1950s ranch neighborhoods, mid-century modern homes in Ann Arbor Hills, and culture all year.
- The homes
- Older homes within walking reach of downtown, plus neighborhoods of 1950s ranches that are also close in.
- Why people choose it
- A city built around the University of Michigan, where town and campus flow into each other. Ann Arbor is known as Tree Town, and it's a very environmentally conscious place.
- Getting around
- A very bike-friendly city, with many dedicated bike lanes. On University of Michigan football Saturdays, plan to avoid driving near Michigan Stadium from about two hours before kickoff until about two hours after the game ends.
- Nearby
- Downtown theaters and music venues, including the State Theatre, the Michigan Theater, The Ark, the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, and Hill Auditorium, plus the University of Michigan Museum of Art. The original Zingerman's Deli on Detroit Street, the Huron River, and the trails and peony garden at Nichols Arboretum.
- The trade-off
- Downtown can be busy, especially near campus on State Street, and football Saturdays take over the city.
