Local market update — September 2026
Coverage: Sterling Heights · Single-family homes. October report edition; September sales data.
| Measure | Sep 2025 | Sep 2026 | Year-over-year |
|---|---|---|---|

What to take from this: New listings and closings increased from last September. Average sale price declined while price per square foot stayed close to last year. Compare similar homes before using the average to guide an offer or asking price.
Average sale price is not median price or a valuation of your home. Location, condition, size, and the mix of homes sold affect these figures.

Find the home that fits your plans.
Compare detached homes and condos with attention to usable space. A finished basement, extra garage space, or a flexible room may matter more than an additional bedroom. Review the condition of the roof, heating and cooling equipment, windows, and any improvements with your inspector.
Explore parks and community life.
The city’s recreation resources include Dodge Park, the Nature Center, a Community Center, the Dodge Park ice rink, and programs for different ages. Start with the official Parks & Recreation page to find facilities, activities, and current schedules.
Look closely before you choose.
Test your usual trips at the time of day you would make them. Confirm parking needs, school boundaries, and any association responsibilities for the particular home. The city’s Assessing page provides access to property assessment information.
Build your budget around the total monthly cost: financing, an estimate of property taxes, insurance, utilities, and any association dues. Ask your lender, assessor, and insurance professional about the specific property rather than assuming another owner’s costs will be yours.
