Farmington, Michigan

Farmington is a small, vibrant city with a classic downtown wrapped around Grand River Avenue and Farmington Road. Historic storefronts, a hometown movie theater, and a year-round pavilion give it a true main-street heart, while tree-lined neighborhoods keep day-to-day life quiet and easy.

Its location is central in Oakland County. You can move between Birmingham, Royal Oak, Novi, and Southfield without long freeway pushes. Inside city limits, six public parks and a tight grid of sidewalks make quick evening walks, playground time, and community events part of the weekly rhythm. 
Farmington

People choose Farmington for three reasons: the walkable downtown, the consistent housing stock at approachable price points, and fast access to job centers through M-5, I-696, I-275, and the Lodge. The blend is hard to beat.

Farmington Real Estate Market Overview

Current Snapshot

As of October 2025, most single-family closings in Farmington fall in the upper-$200s to mid-$400s, with larger or fully renovated homes listing higher. Typical days on market for a well-priced, move-in-ready home land around 7 to 21 days, with entry-level listings often moving quickest. Price per square foot for mainstream segments commonly ranges about $230 to $320, though bungalow and new-build outliers will fall outside that band. Month-to-month samples are small in a compact city, so verify by style, size, and block.

Competitiveness and Buyer Dynamics

Turnkey ranches and bungalows under the county median pull early showings and clean offers. Finished basements, refreshed kitchens, garage space, and walkability to parks or downtown add lift. Full-scope remodels and well-executed infill draw premium pricing if they are aligned with the neighborhood’s scale and finishes.

How Farmington Compares Locally

Versus Birmingham, Farmington typically delivers more value per dollar and a lower overall carry while keeping similar travel times to many job centers. Versus Royal Oak, Farmington reads calmer and more residential with a compact downtown core. Compared to Farmington Hills, Farmington is smaller and more walkable, with housing that skews mid-century and early infill.

Property Taxes and Utilities

Michigan uses taxable value that uncaps after transfer. Example: on a purchase around $350,000, a rough state equalized value is $175,000, and the taxable value resets near that figure the following year. Your annual bill equals (taxable value ÷ 1,000) × local millage. Millage varies by location and school assignment, so confirm for the exact address. Most Farmington addresses have public water and sewer; verify service lines and any assessments during due diligence. High-speed internet is broadly available, with fiber in many pockets. Check availability by address.

Homes for Sale in Farmington, MI

Single-Family Homes

The city’s backbone is 900 to 1,600 square foot bungalows and ranches, plus 1,700 to 2,400+ square foot colonials and tasteful infill. Basements are common and frequently finished for flex space. Popular updates include open kitchens, egressed lower levels, and garage additions that fit the lot. Interior streets show tidy yards, sidewalks, and mature canopy that make daily routines simple.

Condos and Townhomes

Farmington’s attached inventory is modest but meaningful, especially around the downtown grid:

• Hillside Townes (Downtown) — New townhome community on the former Maxfield Training Center site one block off Grand River. Modern two-bed layouts around ~1,300 sq ft, attached garages, and walkable access to the pavilion, market, and theater.
  
  
• Valley View Condominiums — Established condo community along Grand River near downtown, known for walkability to Shiawassee Park and city events. Typical two-bed floor plans with common-area amenities.

HOA diligence checklist: before you write an offer, request the master deed and bylaws, current budget and reserves, certificate of insurance, recent meeting minutes, rental and pet policies, and any special-assessment history. Confirm responsibility for decks, windows, and roofs, plus whether private roads or storm assets are included.

New Construction and Infill

Most “new” in Farmington is single-lot infill or small, attached communities like Hillside Townes. Expect site standards around tree canopy, drainage, parking, and context to adjacent homes. New builds priced to the comps move quickly, especially within a short walk of the pavilion or park.

Investor Snapshot

Rental demand follows walkability and proximity to Birmingham, Royal Oak, and Southfield jobs. Two-bed apartments and smaller condos often ask about $1,300 to $2,000, while updated single-family homes and larger townhomes commonly list in the low-$2,000s to low-$3,000s, depending on size and finish. For any condo or site-condo, verify lease caps, minimum terms, and application rules early.

Buyer Guidance

• Bring full underwriting, not just a pre-qual, to compete cleanly.
  
  
• Compare across asset types; a refreshed ranch may beat a larger but dated colonial at the same price.
  
  
• For condos and site-condos, review bylaws, reserves, lease policies, and upcoming projects early.
  
  
• Inspect for local conditions: sewer line age, grading, tree health, roof life, and moisture management in basements.
  
  
• For unique homes or recent upgrades, prep 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.
