What are homes selling for in Allen Park right now?

The July 2026 median was $250,000 — above Wayne County's July 2026 median of $230,000 and well below the national median of $434,100. Allen Park sits above Wayne County's overall median, and it earns that with the tightest inventory Downriver.

Here's how Allen Park ranks against every core Downriver city:

Is Allen Park a buyer's or seller's market?

A seller's market, and the tightest one Downriver. Homes sold in about 14 days on average, with 93 single-family homes sold in the prior 90 days against just 1.1 months of supply. That's real scarcity. Well-priced homes sell fast and at or above asking; condition still decides the top of the range.

Are Allen Park prices still going up?

Over the past three years Allen Park values rose about 7.2% per year — the strongest three-year run of the ten core cities. Scarce inventory and proximity to Dearborn and the I-94 corridor are the main reasons.

The demand drivers are practical: quiet, established neighborhoods, the Detroit Lions headquarters, and quick freeway access to Dearborn and Detroit. (For the full lifestyle and neighborhood detail, see the Allen Park area guide.)

What about mortgage rates?

Rates are the wildcard for every Downriver city, Allen Park included. The Freddie Mac 30-year fixed rose from 6.16% in January to 6.67% for the week of August 13, 2026 — the opposite of what many expected. It touched 6.69% the week before, the highest reading since August 2025. Fannie Mae's July 2026 forecast puts the 30-year near 6.2% by the end of this year and holding in the low 6s through 2027. For the full national and rate picture, read the Downriver market report. The short version: don't wait on a rate drop that forecasters keep pushing further out.
