West Village currently leans toward buyers, with the market gauge indicating a buyer's market. Inventory is relatively high, with about 12.7 months of supply available. Homes are also taking much longer to sell, with a median of 272 days on the market in this rolling three-month period.
Over the past year, prices have moved higher even as activity has slowed. The typical home value in the latest rolling three-month view is up more than 13 percent year over year, while the median list price has climbed nearly 19 percent over the same time. At the same time, homes sold and pending sales are both down sharply from a year ago, and new listings have fallen as well, pointing to a smaller pool of transactions overall.
Compared with Detroit as a whole, West Village homes are significantly more expensive but also see a looser supply-demand balance, since the city overall has about 6.8 months of supply. Active listings in the neighborhood are up roughly 35 percent year over year, contributing to the current buyer-friendly conditions. No homes in the recent period sold above list price, even though the average sale-to-list ratio is essentially at 100 percent, suggesting sellers are pricing closer to final sale levels.
