This seven-bedroom Sherwood Forest home is a knockout, even if it has room for updating. It’s loaded with character—from the checkered floors in the basement to the wood paneled den to leaded windows. It comes in at just under 5,000 square feet and it listed in mid-Septemeber for $399,900. Readers didn’t think it would last long and they were right; it recently sold for its asking price.

This Mies van der Rohe courtyard unit listed in 2015, went off the market, and listed again this spring for $499,900. Even though the courtyard units are rarely listed, readers weren’t sure that this one would go for nearly half a million dollars. It just sold for $447,500.

This University District house was once home to Detroit mayor Jerome Cavanagh. The five bedroom house still has many original details and had the potential for new updates. Readers thought the price was aggressive at $399,000. It listed in the spring and just sold for $380,000.
