Dearborn Heights, MI Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

If you invest in or around Dearborn Heights, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Dearborn Heights sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of October 2026.

The snapshot

  • •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 399
  • •Median sold price, last 6 months: $215,000
  • •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $147
  • •Middle half of sales closed between: $155,000 and $290,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 399 closed sales in Dearborn Heights over the last six months, with a median closing price of $215,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $155,000 and $290,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 96% of the Dearborn Heights closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 399 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $122 and $179 per square foot.

How long a sale takes here

  • •Listed to under contract: a median of 13 days, across 265 Dearborn Heights closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
  • •Contract to closing: a median of 24 days, across 257 Dearborn Heights closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 399 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Dearborn Heights angle

Resideline's last six months of Dearborn Heights data hold 399 tracked closings, a median sale price of $215,000, and a middle half from $155,000 to $290,000. Slightly more of the band sits above the median than below it, giving above-average subjects a touch more ordinary room to run. Neither fact changes the method, both change the care level: price from closed sales matched to the subject, and treat the median as background.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator, rehab cost estimator, BRRRR calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Dearborn Heights address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Dearborn Heights over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Dearborn Heights city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 19% of the 399 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $220,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the median home price in Dearborn Heights?

How many homes sold in Dearborn Heights last month?

Resideline has tracked 38 closed sales in Dearborn Heights in September 2026 so far, out of 399 closings tracked over the last six months. The most recent month keeps filling in for several weeks as closings are recorded, so this count will rise. These are tracked samples of market activity, not official county totals.

What is the typical sale price range in Dearborn Heights?

The middle half of Dearborn Heights sales over the last six months closed between $155,000 and $290,000, with a median of $215,000.

What is the typical price per square foot in Dearborn Heights?

Among qualifying Dearborn Heights closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median sold price per square foot was $147, measured across 399 sales with usable living area. Median is used rather than average because outliers distort the mean.

Why is the Dearborn Heights median a weak guide for a single house?

Because the middle half of tracked closings spans a wide dollar range relative to the price level, so ordinary sales routinely close far from the midpoint. The median describes the market's center, not any particular property. Closed sales matched to your subject are what turn these citywide numbers into an address-level estimate.
