Medbury Park home prices & property taxes
Medbury Park had fewer than five arm's-length sales recorded in the twelve months to 2025-07, so there is no meaningful median to publish. A median drawn from three houses is noise, and we would rather say so than print a number.
| Transfer type | Count, 2024-07 to 2025-07 |
|---|---|
| All recorded transfers | 6 |
| Of those, arm's-length sales | 2 |
Only about a third of Detroit transfers are arm's-length sales. The rest are Land Bank conveyances, family transfers and life estates — they are real transfers but they are not market prices, so they are excluded from the median above.

Common questions
What is the median home price in Medbury Park, Detroit?
There were fewer than five arm's-length sales recorded in Medbury Park in the twelve months measured, so no median is published here. A median drawn from three houses is noise rather than a market signal.
Why are Medbury Park prices here lower than on listing sites?
Because these come from deeds recorded with the Detroit Assessor rather than the MLS. They include cash, wholesale, FSBO and quitclaim transfers that never reach a listing service — a large share of the Detroit market, which is why an MLS-only median reads high.
What are property taxes in Medbury Park?
Detroit is taxed at 64.1844 mills for a primary residence, the same rate citywide. Parts of the city sit in a Neighborhood Enterprise Zone that reduces it substantially, and your bill is set on the uncapped taxable value the year after you buy — not the seller's capped figure.
What your taxes become after you buy
When a Michigan home changes hands, its taxable value uncaps the following year and resets to roughly half the sale price. Buyers routinely get blindsided by a bill that's thousands higher than the listing showed. Here's your actual number.
What will your tax bill be after closing?
Your taxable value uncaps the year after closing and resets to roughly half the purchase price — so a $350,000 home is taxed on about $175,000, whatever the seller was paying. Enter the price and the current taxable value below.
