Farmington Hills at a Glance, September 2026

Updated October 2026 | Michael Perna, The Perna Team | Michigan License #309650

Farmington Hills Got Bigger as It Got Built. In September It Sold the Big End.

Quick answer: Farmington Hills houses grew from 1,626 square feet in the 1950s to 2,546 in the 1980s while price per foot held flat. Size sets the price here.

Here is a thing about this city that almost nobody says out loud.

Through the decades that built most of Farmington Hills, the houses kept getting roomier. Not in a straight line across a hundred years, but across the stretch that actually matters here, it is a clean run.

I pulled all 535 house sales from the past twelve months where the MLS carries a year built, and sorted them by decade. The 1950s houses that sold here run 1,626 square feet. The 1960s, 2,122. The 1970s, 2,350. The 1980s, 2,546.

Four decades in a row, each one bigger than the last, 920 square feet of growth from end to end. That is 418 of the 535 houses that sold in this city all year.

Now here is the part that matters.

Across those same four decades, the price per square foot went $204.92, $198.72, $198.13, $208.87. A spread of ten dollars and seventy four cents. Nine hundred twenty square feet of difference, and the market pays almost exactly the same for a foot of 1950s ranch as it does for a foot of 1980s colonial.

So in Farmington Hills the price of a house is mostly a question of HOW BIG IT IS.

Which means when the median jumps, the first question isn't "did prices go up." The first question is "did the houses get bigger."

In September, they did.

For the record, this page covers the City of Farmington Hills only. The City of Farmington is a separate 2.7-square-mile city that Farmington Hills wraps around on three sides, and its closings are not in any number here.

September 2026 by the Numbers

Quick answer: Farmington Hills sold 70 homes in September 2026 at a $409,000 median, down from 77 closings in August but up $33,400 on the median. Price per square foot fell to $198.23.

I read every single one of the 70 closings. Not a summary of them. The actual rows, one at a time, with the addresses and the square footage and the days on market, which is where every number on this page comes from.

Source: Realcomp MLS, City of Farmington Hills city limits only, pulled October 2, 2026. September speed figures run on the 69 of 70 closings carrying a usable days-on-market value.

Housekeeping, and this one is unusual. Closings post to the MLS late, so most months I come back and tell you last month's number went up. Not this time. August finished at exactly 77 closings, a $375,600 median and $206.23 per foot, which is character for character what I published on September 4. Zero late August closings landed in the four weeks after. That almost never happens and I'd rather tell you than quietly let it slide by.

One figure I did restate. The August page reported 2.08 months of supply, which was calculated against August's own 77 closings instead of the trailing-twelve-month sales pace every other number in this series uses. On the consistent basis, August was 2.80 months and September is 3.18. Both numbers are honest. They just have to be measured the same way or the comparison is fiction, so the 2.80 is what you see in the tables above.

The Median Hit a Twelve-Month High and the Price Per Foot Fell to a Seven-Month Low

Quick answer: Farmington Hills posted its highest median sale price of the past twelve months in September 2026 and its lowest price per square foot since February. Both are true because the houses that sold were bigger, not pricier.

$409,000 is the top median in the file. Nothing in the trailing twelve months beats it, and the next closest is May at $403,000.

$198.23 per square foot is the lowest reading in seven months. Every month from March through August sat higher.

Those two sentences describe the same 70 homes.

So what actually happened? The typical house that sold in Farmington Hills in September measured 2,197 square feet, up from 2,029 in August. That is 168 more feet on the median house in one month. And 22 of September's 57 houses were 2,500 square feet or bigger, which is 38.6% of them, against 28.3% in August.

Meanwhile the condo count dropped from 17 to 13, and condos are the small, cheap end of this city.

I re-weighted September's sales back to August's exact mix, running a true weighted median rather than averaging the band medians. By type, by size, and by both together, the answer comes back the same: $400,000. So mix accounts for about $9,000 of the $33,400 the median moved, and the other way to see the rest is the per-foot number, which went down 3.88% while the median went up 8.89%.

The average sale price fell 2.90%.

Put all of that together and the honest read is this. Farmington Hills did not get nine percent more expensive in September. It sold bigger houses and fewer condos, and a buyer paying by the foot paid less than they would have in August.

That cuts both ways, and I'll take both sides of it in a minute.

Houses and Condos in Farmington Hills

Quick answer: Houses sold at a $439,900 median in 12 days in September 2026 while condos sold at $230,000 in 17 days. Condos are nearly a third of the active inventory and under a quarter of the sales.

Condos are 23.65% of what sold in this city over twelve months and 31.18% of what is sitting on the board right now.

That gap is the whole condo story. Supply runs 4.19 months against 2.87 for houses, and the trailing-twelve median condo takes 25 days to sell against 10 for a house. Condo owners in Farmington Hills are competing with more neighbors and waiting longer than house owners, and September's condo per-foot number falling 15.50% in a single month is a small sample doing what small samples do, so don't read a trend into one month of 13 sales.

There Are Two Condo Markets Here and the Citywide Median Describes Neither

Quick answer: Mile-road condos in Farmington Hills sold at a $122,500 median and $128.44 per square foot over twelve months. Every other condo in the city sold at $307,500 and $208.39.

Pull apart that 166-sale condo pool and it splits clean down the middle of the map.

Twenty four condos sold on the mile roads, the 8, 12 and 14 Mile buildings. Median $122,500. $128.44 per square foot. 32.5 days on market, closing at 96.65% of the original ask.

The other 142 condos sold at a $307,500 median and $208.39 per square foot, in 24 days, at 97.54% of ask.

That is a $185,000 gap in the median and an $80 gap per foot between two things the MLS files under the same word.

So if you own a condo here, the citywide $280,000 condo median is close to useless to you. Which building you are in decides almost everything, and that is the single most common pricing mistake I see on this side of town. Farmington Hills condo inventory runs 58 units right now, 14 of them past 90 days, and 23 have already cut.

Months of Supply by Price Bracket

Quick answer: The $350,000 to $500,000 bracket is the tightest in Farmington Hills at 2.33 months of supply. Over $750,000 sits at 12 months, and under $200,000 at 6.08.

Read that ladder from both ends and you get the shape of this city.

The middle is tight and it closes at full price. Between $350,000 and $750,000, the typical seller gets 100.00% of their original asking price, and 405 of the 702 homes sold here this year landed in that window. Those are the only two brackets on the board where the typical seller gives up nothing. The other three all settle under 100%, and under $200,000 is by far the worst of them at 95.51%.

Both ends are loose. Under $200,000 you have 36 homes competing for a lane that produced 71 sales all year, 25 of those 36 are condos, and the typical one gives back 4.49% off the original ask, about $6,500, after 29 days.

And over $750,000 almost nothing is closing.

Fifteen homes are for sale above $750,000 in Farmington Hills right now. Fifteen sold above $750,000 in the entire twelve months. Zero closed in August. Zero closed in September. Two straight months, nothing over three quarters of a million dollars across the wire in this city, and the asking prices in that bracket run from $775,000 on Wintergreen Court to $2,490,000 on Sanctuary Court.

The honest other half: five of them are under contract right now. So the top of this market is not dead, it is slow and it is backed up. Median time on market for the fifteen still listed is 38 days, three have passed 90, and three have already cut.

Last month I said Farmington Hills had a zero month over $750,000. It just had another one.

Farmington Hills Homes for Sale Right Now: What Your Money Buys

Quick answer: 186 active listings span $95,000 to $2,490,000 in Farmington Hills MI. The median asking price is $390,000, and the median house asks $472,500 against $222,400 for the median condo.

This is the actual board of Farmington Hills homes for sale, bracket by bracket, with real streets and real asking prices.

Under $200,000 (36 for sale, median ask $159,500, median 929 sq ft). Twenty five of the thirty six are condos and most of them sit on the mile roads. A one bedroom at 28426 W 8 Mile Road asks $95,000. A one bedroom on W 12 Mile Road asks $113,000. The houses in this lane are the small prewar stock on the east side, like 21631 Jacksonville Street at $149,900 in 864 square feet, built in 1946, and 28391 Rollcrest Road at $199,900 from 1939. This is the softest bracket among homes for sale in Farmington Hills Michigan, and it is where buyers have real room to negotiate.

$200,000 to $350,000 (43 for sale, median ask $275,000, median 1,401 sq ft). Here the mix balances out, 24 houses and 19 condos. 21331 Collingham Avenue asks $204,900 for 1,112 square feet from 1950. 23196 Purdue Avenue asks $295,000 for four bedrooms in 1,326 feet. On the condo side, 29823 Indian Trail asks $259,900 for 1,627 square feet and 35285 Lone Pine Lane asks $349,990 for a 1996 build.

$350,000 to $500,000 (50 for sale, median ask $425,000, median 2,248 sq ft). The tightest bracket of all the Farmington Hills MI homes for sale and the one where price matters most, because the comps are thick and buyers here know them. 31991 Staman asks $369,500 for 1,644 feet. 35312 Northmont Drive asks $406,000 for 2,458. 29653 Club House Lane asks $470,000 for 2,364 square feet from 1966, and 24349 Millcreek Court asks $480,000 for a 1995 build at 2,250.

$500,000 to $750,000 (42 for sale, median ask $574,950, median 2,644 sq ft). Forty of the forty two are houses and the square footage is where the money goes. 28945 Nottoway Drive asks $525,000 for 2,300 feet. 22577 Shadowglen Drive asks $549,900 for 2,806. 37709 Glengrove Drive asks $569,900 for 3,017 square feet. 34135 Brittany Drive asks $635,000 for 2,985 feet in a 1962 house that has clearly been worked on.

$750,000 and up (15 for sale, median ask $1,290,000, median 3,461 sq ft). These are the fifteen most expensive homes for sale in Farmington Hills Michigan, and this is the backed-up bracket. 28690 Wintergreen Court has been listed 218 days at $775,000. 35339 W 13 Mile Road has been out 142 days at $899,000. 28575 Danvers Court asks $1,499,000, the new builds on Wintergreen ask $1,640,000, Franklin Hills Court runs $1,794,572 and $2,113,918, and 32576 Sanctuary Court tops the city at $2,490,000 for 5,464 square feet.

New Construction in Farmington Hills: Twelve for Sale, Seven Sold All Year

Quick answer: Twelve of the 186 Farmington Hills homes for sale were built in 2025 or 2026, asking a $704,400 median. Only seven new-construction homes closed in the entire trailing twelve months.

New construction is 6.45% of the active board and 1.00% of the sales. That is the widest gap between what is for sale and what actually trades anywhere on this page.

Seven of those twelve have been listed 90 days or more, which makes them the stalest homes for sale in Farmington Hills Michigan outside the mile roads. Six more are under contract.

The seven that closed over twelve months ran a $650,340 median against $384,900 for everything that wasn't new. So new construction is a $265,440 premium product in a city whose median house is 60 years old, and it is why I keep the resale-only number next to the blended one.

Why Baldwin Street Has Six Houses Sitting and Three Under Contract

Baldwin Street is a builder's subdivision and it is the clearest example in the city of why you never read one number for a whole street.

Six Baldwin houses are active, asking $549,900 to $628,900, a $589,450 median, and they have been on the market 112, 112, 116, 158, 163 and 394 days. That is standing inventory.

Three more Baldwin houses are under contract, asking $646,850 to $697,655, and they went in 1, 1 and 4 days.

Same street, same builder, same year built. The higher-priced newer releases are going in a week and the older unsold stock is going nowhere. Two Baldwin houses closed in the past twelve months, one at $635,595 in two days and one at $650,340 after 314.

If you are shopping new construction here, the six that have been sitting since spring are where your leverage is. Not the ones the builder just released.

The Size Ladder: What Every Decade in Farmington Hills Is Worth

Quick answer: Farmington Hills houses got bigger every decade from the 1950s through the 1980s while the price per square foot stayed inside a twelve-dollar band. Size, not vintage, sets the price here.

From the 1930s through the 2000s, the median sale price rises in every single decade except one. The 1990s come in $2,000 under the 1980s and that is the only step down in the whole run, $194,500 up to $730,000.

Price per square foot does nothing of the kind. Take the five decades that carry real volume, the 1950s through the 1990s, which is 467 of the 535 houses: $204.92, $198.72, $198.13, $208.87, $210.14. Twelve dollars and one cent separates the top from the bottom.

Does Farmington Hills Pay a Premium for Older Homes?

No, and this is the opposite of what happens in some of my other cities. Farmington Hills has NO old-house premium. The three oldest decades are the three cheapest per foot on the board: the 1920s at $171.50, the 1940s at $182.47 and the 1930s at $193.50, all of them under the postwar subdivisions.

The two newest decades do top the per-foot table, 2020s at $269.09 and 2010s at $242.56, but that is fifteen sales between them and I'm not going to pretend fifteen sales describe a city. Among the decades carrying real volume, the 1990s lead at $210.14, with the 1980s at $208.87 and the 1950s at $204.92 right behind.

What Does the Next $100,000 Actually Buy?

Houses that sold around $350,000 ran about 1,669 square feet. Around $450,000, about 2,370. That next hundred thousand dollars buys you roughly 701 more square feet and usually a fourth bedroom, which works out to about $143 per additional foot, cheaper than the $198.23 the market paid per foot in September 2026.

Stretching costs less per foot in this city than starting does. That is unusual and it is worth knowing before you set your number.

The Renovation Premium: What Updating Is Actually Worth Here

Quick answer: Updated pre-1990 houses in Farmington Hills sold for $209.65 per square foot over the past twelve months against $193.97 for houses with no remodel on record, a premium of 8.08%.

This is an original Perna Team analysis of 460 pre-1990 house sales in Farmington Hills, split by whether the MLS carries a Year Remodeled.

On the 2,052-square-foot median pre-1990 house, that $15.68 per foot works out to about $32,175.

What it does not buy you is speed. Updated houses took a median 10 days, not-updated took 9. Buyers in this city pay more for a renovated house, they just don't fight harder for it.

One honesty note on that figure. Year Remodeled is populated on only 218 of the 702 sales in this file, so "no remodel on record" is not the same thing as "never touched." Treat the 8.08% as the floor, not the ceiling.

Five Houses Sold Twice This Year. Four Didn't Gain a Single Square Foot.

Quick answer: Five Farmington Hills addresses closed twice in the past twelve months, with gross gains from $98,000 to $259,900. Four of the five resold at identical square footage.

Look at the square footage column.

Four of these five houses resold without adding one foot of living space, and they gained between $98,000 and $259,900 gross. 36045 Congress Court went from $340,000 to $599,900 in 171 days at the same 3,054 square feet. Only Westgate added anything, and it added 110 feet.

Those are GROSS numbers, not profit. The purchase costs, the renovation, the carrying costs and the commission are all invisible in an MLS record and some of them are large. I am not telling you these people cleared a quarter million dollars. I am telling you what the city paid.

And it lines up exactly with the renovation premium above. In a market where the per-foot price barely moves between decades, the money is not in the footprint. It is in the condition.

The cautionary half is on the board right now. 22140 Indian Creek Drive sold for $175,000 in January and is asking $159,000 today at the same 767 square feet, 226 days in. 23106 Springbrook Drive sold for $171,000 last October, listed at $329,000, and sits at $255,000 after 190 days.

Same city, same year, same idea, different execution.

Thinking about doing one of these yourself? Before you buy anything to flip in this city, call me at (248) 886-4450 and I'll tell you what the finished product actually resells for on that street. That one conversation is the difference between the top of that table and the bottom of this paragraph.

Streets and Corridors in Farmington Hills

Quick answer: Quaker Valley led every Farmington Hills street with six or more sales at $238.36 per square foot. The W 12 Mile Road condo corridor ran $139.47.

Quaker Valley takes its name from Quaker Valley Farms, the subdivision that incorporated as the village of Quakertown in 1959 and folded into Farmington Hills at the 1973 consolidation. Its six sales span 1959 to 1999 builds and $422,000 to $660,000, so read that $559,000 as a midpoint and not a street price.

The Mile Roads Are Their Own Market

The 8, 12 and 14 Mile buildings produced 24 condo sales over twelve months at a $122,500 median, $128.44 per square foot and 32.5 days, closing at 96.65% of the original ask. Those 24 units account for 20 of the city's 71 sales under $200,000.

Five houses also sold on the mile roads, and they are a different animal entirely: a $403,000 median, $177.37 per foot, 60 days, running from $300,000 up to $900,000. Which is why the table row above blends to numbers that describe neither group. Split them and both halves get sharper.

There are 20 mile-road listings on the board right now, 17 condos and 3 houses, asking a $174,000 median.

If you own in that corridor, you are not in the same market as someone on Quaker Valley, and pricing off a citywide median will cost you.

What This Means If You're Selling in Farmington Hills

Quick answer: Price to your square footage and your condition, not to the citywide median. The $350,000 to $750,000 window closes at 100% of original ask. Both ends of the market do not.

Here is the thing about a $409,000 citywide median. It describes almost nobody.

If your house is 1,626 square feet from the 1950s, the market says roughly $348,500. If it is 2,546 square feet from the 1980s, roughly $522,000. Same city, same month, $173,500 apart, and the per-foot price the market paid for both is within five dollars of each other.

So the move is simple. Find your square footage. Find your decade. Be honest about your condition. That is your number.

Your competition is the other Farmington Hills MI homes for sale in your bracket and your size range. It is not the citywide median, and it is not what your neighbor got in 2022.

Decide Your Number Before You List, Not at 9pm on Day 40

40.86% of the homes for sale in Farmington Hills right now have already cut their price, and the median cut is $15,000. The ones that sold in seven days or less closed at 102.06% of their original ask over the trailing twelve months. The ones that took 30 days or more closed at 94.74%. On a $409,000 house that spread is about $29,900, and it is decided in the first week.

Condition Beats Footprint

The renovation premium here is 8.08%, about $32,175 on a typical pre-1990 house, and four of the five repeat sales above made their money without adding square footage. If you are weighing a kitchen against an addition before you list, the data in this city says the kitchen.

If You're Over $750,000, Read the Inventory Table Again

Fifteen listings, fifteen sales all year, zero closed in the last two months and five under contract. That is not a pricing problem you fix in month three. Price it right in week one or plan on a long fall.

Why Sellers Call Me for This

I have sold roughly 1 in 10 homes in Farmington Hills and my team runs a 99.1% list-to-sale price ratio across 8,000+ career transactions. I read every closing in this city every month, which is where this entire page comes from, and it means when I give you a number I am not pulling it off a portal estimate. I am pulling it off the actual rows.

What This Means If You're Buying a Home in Farmington Hills

Quick answer: Buyers gained real leverage in September 2026. Price per square foot fell to a seven-month low, 186 homes are for sale, and 42 of them have been listed 90 days or longer.

Inventory is up across Farmington Hills MI homes for sale, the per-foot price is down, and 40.86% of the board has already cut.

That is a better set of conditions than this city has handed buyers in a while. Here is where the leverage actually sits.

The 90-Day Pile

Forty two of the 186 homes for sale in Farmington Hills MI have been on the market 90 days or more, and nine have passed 180. 33567 Baldwin Street is at 394 days, 30515 W 14 Mile Road at 316, 27155 Drake Road at 269. Nobody is getting full price on day 300.

The Top of the Market

Twelve months of supply over $750,000 and two straight months with nothing closing. If you are shopping above three quarters of a million dollars in this city, you are most of the demand side. Act like it.

Builder Standing Inventory

Six houses on Baldwin Street have been listed 112 days or longer while the builder's newer releases go under contract in under a week. Seven of the city's twelve new-construction listings have passed 90 days. A builder carrying a spring house into November has a very different conversation with you than a builder with a fresh release.

The Mile-Road Condo Corridor

Among homes for sale in Farmington Hills Michigan under $200,000 there is 6.08 months of supply, and the mile-road condos that sold this year closed at 96.65% of their original ask after 32.5 days. That is the deepest buyer's market in the city.

Where You Will Not Get a Deal

$350,000 to $500,000 closes at 100.00% of original ask in 11 days, and $500,000 to $750,000 at 100.00% in 9. Go in at list in that window or lose the house. That is just the math.

And the piece that never shows up on a portal: a real chunk of what sells in Farmington Hills gets spoken for before it hits the MLS. We door knock, we mail subdivisions, and we hear about houses from the listing side first. I keep a free pre-market list for Farmington Hills buyers. Call or text (248) 886-4450 and I'll put you on it.

If Farmington Hills is one of two or three places you are looking, it is worth reading this next to the Novi and Livonia reports, which I build from the same exports the same way every month.

Farmington Hills Housing Market Trends: Month by Month

Quick answer: Farmington Hills has sold between 24 and 89 homes a month over the past twelve months. Monthly medians ran $345,000 to $409,000 and price per square foot $185.42 to $212.95.

Twelve rows and two different stories running at once.

The price column and the per-foot column have been pulling apart since July. Per-foot peaked at $212.95 in July and has come down in each of the two months since, to $206.23 and then $198.23. The median went the other direction in September. That is the size effect doing all the work, and it is why I do not let the median tell this story by itself.

The days-on-market column is the one that genuinely improved. From April through August it climbed four months running, 7 to 8 to 10 to 12 to 15, and I said so last month. September broke it and came back to 12.

Watch for this row to tick up. September's 70 is what had posted by October 2, and late closings always add a few.

Where the Farmington Hills Michigan Market Is Heading

Quick answer: Expect the fall slowdown this file shows across last winter, with inventory staying elevated. Watch the per-foot price rather than the median to see what is actually happening.

Let me be honest about seasonality in the Farmington Hills housing market rather than sell you a narrative.

Look at the trend table. November, December, January and February produced 38, 42, 29 and 24 closings while June and July produced 89 each. Median days on market across those same four months ran 25.5, 36.5, 29 and 19.5, against 7 in March. That is the calendar, and this file shows me one year of it, so I am describing what happened rather than promising it repeats.

What is genuinely new is the supply side. 186 homes for sale in Farmington Hills Michigan against 160 a month ago, 3.18 months of supply against 2.80, condos at 4.19 months and the top bracket at 12. Buyers have more Farmington Hills MI homes for sale to pick from going into the slow season than they had going into the busy one.

At least 69 contracts were written on Farmington Hills homes in September, and three more landed on October 1 and 2. The engine is still running. It is just running into a market with more inventory in it.

The milestone I keep coming back to: 702 homes sold in this city over twelve months for $277,949,431. That is the floor under everything on this page, and whatever the median does next month, that volume is the real measure of the Farmington Hills housing market.

"Everybody's going to see a $409,000 median and think Farmington Hills jumped nine percent in a month. It didn't. The price per foot actually FELL, and it's now the lowest it's been in seven months. What changed is that we sold bigger houses and four fewer condos. If you're selling, price off your square footage and your condition, because that's what this city actually pays for." Michael Perna

Key Takeaways

• Farmington Hills sold 70 homes in September 2026 at a $409,000 median, the highest monthly median in the trailing twelve months, with a 12-day median time on market.
  
  
• Median price per square foot fell to $198.23, down 3.88% from August and the lowest reading in seven months, while the average sale price fell 2.90%.
  
  
• The median house that sold measured 2,197 square feet against 2,029 in August, and 38.6% of September's houses were 2,500 square feet or bigger against 28.3% in August.
  
  
• There are 186 Farmington Hills homes for sale, 85 under contract and 3 coming soon, which is 3.18 months of supply against 2.80 a month ago on the same basis.
  
  
• Zero homes closed above $750,000 in either August or September 2026, five are under contract, and 15 are listed in that bracket against 15 sales in the entire trailing twelve months.
  
  
• Mile-road condos sold at a $122,500 median and $128.44 per square foot while every other condo in the city sold at $307,500 and $208.39, a split the citywide condo median hides completely.
  
  
• Updated pre-1990 houses sold at $209.65 per square foot against $193.97 for houses with no remodel on record, an 8.08% premium worth about $32,175 on a 2,052-square-foot house.

Farmington Hills Market Terms, Explained

What does months of supply mean?

Months of supply is how long it would take to sell every home currently listed at the recent sales pace. I calculate it as active listings divided by the trailing twelve months of sales divided by twelve. Under three months favors sellers, over six favors buyers, and Farmington Hills sits at 3.18 overall.

What is sale-to-original-list ratio?

It compares the final sale price to the first price the home was listed at, not the last one. That matters. A house that listed at $450,000, cut to $400,000 and sold at $400,000 shows 100% against the reduced price and 88.9% against the original. I use the original every time.

What is the difference between DOM and CDOM?

DOM is days on the current listing. CDOM is cumulative days across relists, so a home that failed, came off and relisted carries a low DOM and a high CDOM. Every days-on-market figure on this page is listing DOM, which is the Realcomp standard.

What does coming soon mean in Farmington Hills?

Coming soon is a pre-market status where a listing is visible but not yet available to show. Farmington Hills has 3 right now, down from 5 a month ago. They matter because they tell you what is about to hit, which is a week of head start if your agent is watching for them.

What are accepting backups and contingent-CCS?

Both are under-contract statuses with a crack in the door. Accepting backups means the seller wants a second offer in line. Contingent-CCS means the deal depends on the buyer selling their own home first. Farmington Hills has 11 and 5 of them respectively, folded into the 85 under contract.

Why does the square footage here look smaller than on the listing sites?

Because MLS above-grade square footage excludes finished basements, and the portals often do not. In a city full of 1950s and 1960s ranches with finished lower levels, that gap is real. Every per-foot number on this page uses above-grade feet, consistently, which is what makes the comparisons hold.

What counts as new construction in this report?

A home built in 2025 or 2026. A 2021 house that resells is a resale, because that is how a buyer treats it, and lumping it in with brand new inventory inflates the new-construction numbers badly. Seven of the 702 sales here qualify.

Farmington Hills at a Glance: County, ZIPs and Corridors

Quick answer: Farmington Hills is a 33-square-mile city in Oakland County, Michigan, incorporated in 1973, using ZIP codes 48331, 48334, 48335 and 48336.

The city was settled in 1824 by Arthur Power, a Quaker from Farmington, New York, and the settlement that grew up here was known as Quakertown. The modern city came together in 1973, when the villages of Quakertown and Wood Creek Farms merged with the rest of Farmington Township to form Farmington Hills.

The street grid is the mile roads, 8 Mile up to 14 Mile, crossed by Orchard Lake Road, Middlebelt Road, Farmington Road, Inkster Road and Drake Road. Every one of those corridors shows up in this month's data.

For commuters, the I-96, I-696 and I-275 interchange sits at the city's southwest corner, with M-5 running northeast out of it, which is a large part of why this market holds up. Most of the city is served by Farmington Public Schools, with a portion of the southeast corner served by Clarenceville School District, whose buildings sit over the line in Livonia. District lines and city lines are not the same thing here, so verify the school for a specific address rather than for the city.

Next door, the City of Farmington is 2.7 square miles and completely separate. Novi, Northville and Livonia all border or sit a few minutes away, and buyers in this price range almost always look at two of them together.

How I Built This Report

Quick answer: Two Realcomp MLS exports pulled October 2, 2026, covering the City of Farmington Hills city limits only, analyzed in Python with every control total reconciled before writing.

One snapshot of everything currently active, under contract, accepting backups, contingent-CCS or coming soon. One file of every closed sale for the trailing twelve months ending September 30, 2026.

Scope is the City of Farmington Hills city limits only. Every row in both files came back tagged to Farmington Hills in Oakland County, so zero rows were dropped for scope this month.

Three data issues, handled and disclosed:

• One duplicate removed. 30078 W 12 Mile Road unit 99 was fed twice under two MLS numbers at the same $112,000 price and September 25 close date, which took the sold count from 703 to 702.
  
  
• One corrupt days-on-market value. 31115 Tiverton Street carries a DOM of negative 16, which is impossible. It is excluded from every days-on-market figure, so September speed stats run on 69 of 70 closings. It is included everywhere else.
  
  
• One corrupt original list price. A W 9 Mile Road listing shows an original price of $467,500,000, obviously a typo for $467,500. It counts in the price-cut share and is excluded from the median cut dollar figure.

Medians, not averages, except where I say average. Decimal arithmetic, not floating point, so a true midpoint rounds correctly. New construction means built in 2025 or 2026. Control totals reconciled before a word got written: houses plus condos equals the total, bracket counts sum to the total, status counts reconcile to the snapshot, and the twelve trend rows sum to 702.

What Happens When You Actually Call

1. We talk for ten minutes. What you own, where you are going, and when. No pitch.
   
   
2. I pull your comps. Your subdivision, your square footage, your decade, your condition. Usually same day.
   
   
3. You get a number and the reasoning. Including what it costs you to be wrong in either direction, and what it would take to move it.
   
   
4. You decide. Plenty of people call me, get the number and do nothing for a year. That is a completely fine outcome.
