Condominiums and post-war ranches sit at the lower end; restored historic homes near Kellogg Park lead the upper end.
Common home styles
Victorian, craftsman, colonial
The older core holds Victorian and craftsman homes, with mid-century ranches and colonials filling the surrounding township.
Average days on market
Roughly 21 days
Updated homes near downtown often sell faster than the average; larger township properties take somewhat longer.
Annual appreciation

Inventory conditions
Tight
Available homes remain below balanced levels, especially in the walkable city sections.
There is a clear distinction between the City of Plymouth and Plymouth Township. The city offers smaller lots and walkability at a premium, while the township generally provides more square footage and larger yards for the same money.
Understanding which side of that line a property sits on is often the single most useful piece of information for both pricing a listing and evaluating an offer.
Market figures are approximate and reflect recent local trends rather than any single listing service report. Conditions shift by neighborhood and season, so contact Brenda for current numbers on a specific street or price band.
