Whitmore Lake

A lake ten miles up US-23 from Ann Arbor

Whitmore Lake sits about ten miles north of Ann Arbor, and US-23 makes that a short drive rather than a country one. It is not a city: the community is unincorporated and it spans a county line, with most of it in Northfield Township in Washtenaw County and the north end of the lake reaching into Green Oak Township in Livingston County. It has its own district, Whitmore Lake Public Schools, which is one of the first things that distinguishes it from Ann Arbor addresses a few minutes south.

The housing came in layers. The oldest streets ring the lake and began as summer places, later winterized in every degree of thoroughness — which makes the era questions here unusually worth asking. Around them sit platted subdivisions from the 1960s onward and a substantial number of condominium communities. Two things decide value more than anything else: whether a property has frontage, deeded access, or none at all, and which township and county the parcel actually sits in. Both are settled by the record rather than by a listing.

A faded month had fewer than 5 sales, too few for a median.

From MichRIC listing data on this site, computed Oct 25 and refreshed with the feed.
How these are counted

The columns are houses and condos. Small multi-family, manufactured homes and the subtypes the feed leaves unplaceable are counted in the total above and in neither column, so the two columns do not add up to it. Land and farms are left out. “Over asking” means above the price a home was last listed at, not its original price, and is taken over the sales that carried one. Price per square foot divides by above-grade finished area where the MLS reports it and by the total finished area where it does not; each figure is labelled with the one it used, so two figures labelled differently are not measuring the same thing. Below 5 sales a figure gives the count without a median, and a single sale is given no figure at all.
