$1,925,000

This Michigan Avenue building was once a very expensive rental, which turned into a very expensive sale. Technically, there are some apartments in this building, so it is a multi-family residence. But the expansive main living quarters are the real show-stopper here, with plenty of room for an event space. It sits across from Michigan Central Station.

$1,250,000

This whole building somehow encompassed one loft, selling in October for $1,250,000. It’s 4,400 square feet, with a garage and rooftop patio, right by the arenas, Midtown, and downtown.

$1,250,000

This 6,000-square-foot Corktown loft has listed multiple times in the last couple years. It takes up an entire floor of the building, and has inlaid tile mosaics in the floor, an elegant kitchen, and huge windows with views across the city. It once listed for $1.6 million, then earlier this year for $1,398,000. We have word that it closed for $1,250,000.

$1,000,000

The first on our list is the only million dollar sale so far this year in Detroit. This 1916 limestone mansion in historic Indian Village never quite hit the market, but the new owners knew it was the house for them when they first saw it. They don’t plan many renovations—it’s quite nice as it is—and they plan on raising their family here. It’s the most expensive in a neighborhood that’s seen many big sales this year.

$900,000

Palmer Woods has some of the most distinctive homes in the city, including this sprawling contemporary. Its entryway is reminiscent of a cathedral to some, and the house also included a conversation pit and vast entertaining space.

$849,900

Houses in the gated Morgan Waterfront Estate always seem to make these lists. This one’s coming in at a modest size for the neighborhood at 4,280 square feet, with tall ceilings, four bedrooms, a four-car garage, and access to the Detroit River. This gated community sits next to the decommissioned Conners Creek Power Plant and across from Belle Isle.

$830,000

This six-bedroom Palmer Woods home sits on a double lot and features five fireplaces, Pewabic tiling in the sun room, original details, and stately elegance.

$828,000

This odd Midtown building has been used for a lot of purposes in the past, and was recently converted to condos. The listing offered either separate condos or the whole building, and we’re told the buyer bought the whole building.

$828,000

The next big sale at Willys is this glam corner loft that sold in February. This loft comes in at just under 2,500 square feet, with two bedrooms, two and a half baths, expansive city views, and a huge deck for outdoor space. This one sold for $333 per square foot.

$815,000

This Costwald Manor in Palmer Woods sold yet again this year. This 1927 Robert O. Derrick-designed home has grand wood archways, five fireplaces, a library with hidden wet bar, a winding staircase, and a beautiful yard.

$780,000

It’s rare to find a single-family home along the shoreline in Detroit. This house at the gated Shorepointe Estates listed this summer for $999,995, and sold in October for $780,000. It was built in 2000 and had lovely views, a beautiful kitchen, and quality finishes for a newer build.

$702,060

Expect to see many of these on next year’s map (and perhaps more by the end of the year). City Modern started opening to residents late this summer. This three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath carriage house is one of the first big sales. At just over 2,000 square feet, it sold for just over $700K. Brush Park is a different world these days.
