Free interactive map: sales stats for all 205 Detroit neighborhoods

Free interactive map: sales stats for all 205 Detroit neighborhoods

Detroit gets talked about like it's one market, and anyone who buys here knows it isn't — it's 205 neighborhoods, and the numbers change street by street.

I got tired of ZIP-code-level stats hiding that. A ZIP like 48224 covers Morningside (median around $145K on recent sales) and areas selling at half that. When I'm scoping a rehab or running comps for an investor client here, the ZIP average is almost useless — the neighborhood is the unit that matters.

So I pulled the last stretch of closed sales, geocoded every one, and mapped them into the city's official neighborhood boundaries. A few things that jumped out:

• Bagley (west side, by the University of Detroit Mercy): 38 sales in the last 90 days, median $216,950 — one of the strongest residential pockets in the city right now.

• Warrendale: the highest volume in the city (48 sales), median $77,500 — still a landlord market.

• Morningside: 32 sales, median $145,000, and steady.

• Fitzgerald/Marygrove (where I have a full rehab running): 23 sales, median $100,000 — the Livernois/McNichols corridor keeps quietly working.

I put the whole thing into a free interactive map — every neighborhood, every ZIP, subdivision areas too, with median price, closed sales, days on market and sale-to-list for each. It updates monthly. It's on the resources page of my site (link is on my profile) — no signup, no charge. I built it for my own underwriting and figured other Detroit investors would get use out of it.

Curious what neighborhoods everyone else is watching going into 2027 — anybody else seeing strength somewhere the ZIP stats don't show?

    @Anthony Smith, I like your point about looking beyond ZIP code averages. Two properties in the same ZIP code can be very different investments, so having neighborhood level data can help buyers make better decisions.

    I'm a real estate attorney, broker, and investor based in Maryland, and I work with clients on property purchases, contracts, and real estate matters. I've seen how important it is to look closely at each property, including its condition, title, and potential issues, rather than relying only on the market numbers.

    I appreciate you putting this resource together and sharing it with other investors, @Anthony Smith! It's always good to see professionals making useful information more accessible. Happy to stay connected and exchange insights!
