How the Real Estate Market Is Shifting This Spring in Northville and Plymouth

Mar 21

If you’ve been watching the market—or just casually scrolling through Zillow—you’ve probably noticed that things are moving a little faster than usual this spring. It’s not just your imagination. In places like Northville and Plymouth, we’re already seeing a jump in activity, strong buyer demand, and price trends that are making it a competitive season for anyone looking to buy or sell.

Let’s break down what’s really going on—and what it means for you.

🏡 Northville Market Snapshot

Homes in the Northville school district are heating up earlier than expected. The average sale price in February hit $667,500, up 16.1% from the same time last year. Homes are now selling for about $263 per square foot, a 7.3% increase. While average days on market have crept up to 25 days (+19%), well-priced homes—especially in the $700,000 range—are still moving quickly and attracting multiple offers.

If you’re a buyer in Northville, expect competition. If you’re a seller, the demand is definitely on your side.

🏘 Plymouth + Plymouth Township Market Overview

The Plymouth and Plymouth Township markets are showing slightly different trends—but still strong signs of a busy spring.

Plymouth:

• Average sale price: $419,650 (flat year-over-year)

• Price per square foot: $288 (+7.5%)

• Days on market: 23 days (-28.1%)

Plymouth Township:

• Average sale price: $419,650 (-2.5% YoY)

• Price per square foot: $235 (+4.9%)

• Days on market: 21 days (+23.5%)

Buyers in the $300,000 and $700,000 price points are facing some of the stiffest competition. These brackets continue to see multiple offers, tight inventory, and homes going pending within days. The takeaway? If you’re buying in these ranges, preparation is everything.

📈 How This Compares Nationally

Zooming out, the national average price per square foot is $195, up 6.6% year-over-year. While our local markets are outpacing national averages, the demand patterns are consistent: buyers are out early this year, and homes that are priced right and move-in ready are going fast.

So, What Does This Mean for You?

If you’re thinking about selling, there’s opportunity in this market—especially if you’re in one of those competitive price points or in a family-friendly neighborhood near great schools.

And if you’re looking to buy, it doesn’t mean you should sit it out. But it does mean you should go in with a strong plan and someone in your corner who knows how to navigate the market.
