Boston-Edison questions

What are houses in Boston-Edison worth?

The typical Boston-Edison home sits around $301,767 as of July 2026, compared with roughly $76,084 across Detroit as a whole. Treat that as a ceiling to argue from rather than a promise: buyers who work off Detroit averages will open well under it, and the gap is yours to close with recent sales on your own street.

Is Boston-Edison one of the more expensive parts of Detroit?

Of the 16 Detroit neighborhoods we cover, Boston-Edison ranks 10 by typical value, with Woodbridge just above it at about $320,423 and New Center just below at $213,523. Those two are the closest points of reference for a Boston-Edison house, and they are a better guide than a citywide average that spans the whole range.

Have Boston-Edison home values risen?

The typical Boston-Edison home has slipped from about $330,827 five years ago to $301,767, down 8.8%. Holding on for a recovery has not paid off here over that period, which is worth weighing honestly against the cost of continuing to carry the property.

What does it cost to sell a house in Boston-Edison?

On a $301,767 sale, a 6% agent commission is about $18,106 and Michigan transfer tax about $2,597, which the seller pays. A cash sale removes the commission and most cash buyers cover the transfer tax, so that combined $20,703 is the figure to weigh against a lower offer price.

Why do sales fall through in Boston-Edison?

Usually the appraisal or the inspection, and at Boston-Edison prices both are expensive to get wrong. A valuation that lands even five percent light is a five-figure hole the buyer has to fill in cash or walk away from. Larger homes also give an inspector more to find, and each finding is a fresh negotiation weeks after you accepted. A cash sale settles the number once.
