Commerce Township, Michigan

Commerce Township blends lake living with everyday convenience in northwest Oakland County. The map is dotted with inland lakes, wooded neighborhoods, and a state recreation area that runs along the Huron River. It feels like being up north without the long drive, yet daily errands and job centers are close-by.

The township borders West Bloomfield, Walled Lake, Wixom, Milford, and White Lake, so you can head in any direction and find shopping, schools, and services in minutes. Neighborhoods range from mid-century homes around established lakes to newer site-condo streets and custom homes on larger parcels.

People choose Commerce for its balance of lifestyle and location. Paddle at sunrise, work in Novi, grab dinner in downtown Milford or Birmingham, and be home in time for a lakeside sunset. It is that kind of place.

Commerce Township Real Estate Market Overview

Current Snapshot

As of October 2025, most single-family closings in Commerce Township land in the high-$300s to mid-$600s for mainstream sizes, with renovated lake homes and newer custom builds trading higher. Typical days on market often run 10 to 30 days depending on price point, location, and presentation. For many move-in-ready segments, price per square foot commonly ranges about $210 to $300, with lakefront or acreage properties pricing more on features and setting than on a strict PPSF comparison. Inventory remains lean near two to three months of supply, and small monthly samples can swing the numbers. Always verify your segment by style, size, and micro-location.

Competitiveness and Buyer Dynamics

Turnkey colonials and updated ranches under the Oakland County median draw fast attention. Homes with finished lower levels, refreshed kitchens, and attached garages tend to see stronger tour counts. On the water, clean shore structures and straightforward parking or storage make a difference. Newer site-condo homes compete on modern systems, exterior maintenance lightness, and school proximity.

How Commerce Township Compares Locally

Compared with West Bloomfield and Bloomfield Hills, Commerce usually delivers more yard and privacy per dollar with a stronger emphasis on lakes and the state park. Versus Novi, it trades big malls and corporate campuses for trails and coves, while still keeping commute times manageable. Against Walled Lake or Wixom, prices span a wider range due to lakefront streets and custom inventory.

Property Taxes and Utilities

Michigan uses taxable value that uncaps after transfer. Example: on a purchase around $550,000, the state equalized value would be roughly $275,000, and taxable value resets near that figure the following year. Your annual bill is (taxable value ÷ 1,000) × local millage. Millage varies by school routing and jurisdiction, so confirm for the exact address. Many homes are on public water and sewer, while others use private well and septic around lakes and larger parcels. High-speed internet is widely available, with fiber in parts of the township. Always check availability and utility details by address.

Homes for Sale in Commerce Township, MI

Single-Family Homes

The backbone of the market is 1,500 to 2,600 square foot ranches and colonials, plus 2,700 to 4,000+ square foot homes in newer enclaves or on acreage. Finished basements are common and often add a guest suite or media room. Outdoor living is a deciding factor here. Buyers prize decks that look into trees, level lawn for playsets, and lake-friendly storage for kayaks and gear.

Expect a broad style mix. Mid-century ranches anchor older streets. 1990s and 2000s colonials fill many subdivisions. Custom homes and recent infill create upper-band options near the big lakes and in pockets around the civic campus.

Condos and Townhomes

Options span traditional attached condos and site-condo neighborhoods where homes are legally condominiums but live like single family. Within township limits:

• Hometown Village of Commerce — A planned neighborhood with sidewalks, community green spaces, and a consistent streetscape. Many homes run about 1,900 to 2,900 sq ft with basements and attached garages. Dues usually focus on common-area care and private-road standards.
  
  
• Long Lake Woods Condominium Association — Attached and duplex-style homes near inland water and wooded views, commonly 1,600 to 2,400 sq ft with garages and decks. A fit for owners who want exterior maintenance handled.

HOA diligence checklist: before you write an offer, request the master deed and bylaws, current budget and reserves, certificate of insurance, meeting minutes, and an account status letter. Confirm rental and pet policies, private-road standards, storm-water obligations, and responsibility for decks, windows, and roofs. Ask about pending assessments or capital plans.

New Construction and Infill

Commerce is largely built out, so most opportunities are single-lot infill or the final phases of site-condo plats. Expect architectural review that considers tree canopy, drainage, parking, and shoreline impact. New homes priced to nearby comps move quickly, particularly near the Air Line Trail, the civic campus, and lake corridors.

Investor Snapshot

Long-term rental demand tracks with proximity to lakes, trails, and job nodes in Novi and Farmington Hills. Two-bed apartments and smaller condos often ask about $1,400 to $2,000, while updated single-family or larger townhomes typically list from the low-$2,000s to mid-$3,000s depending on size and finish. For condos and site-condos, verify lease caps, minimum terms, and application rules before you buy.

Buyer Guidance

• Bring full underwriting, not just a pre-qual, to compete cleanly.
  
  
• Compare across asset types; a newer site-condo with modern systems may beat a larger mid-century listing at the same price.
  
  
• Review HOA or site-condo documents early for private roads, storm assets, lease caps, and pet rules.
  
  
• Inspect for local conditions: shoreline structures, well output and septic age where applicable, grading, sump performance, tree health, and roof life.
  
  
• For unique homes or recent upgrades, prepare an appraisal packet with permits, specs, and nearby comps.

Seller Guidance

• Price to today’s absorption and comps, not last spring’s headlines.
  
  
• Use professional media, measured floor plans, and clear room dimensions to widen the buyer pool.
  
  
• Launch around school calendars and weather windows when practical.
  
  
• Plan for privacy and access if you work from home or have pets.
  
  
• Fix predictable objections in advance: roof and gutter tune-ups, fogged glass, exterior wood rot, minor masonry, and basic landscaping.
