Are Brownstown prices still going up?

The draw is space and amenities: Lake Erie Metropark, the Telegraph and West Road retail corridors, and newer subdivisions across a large township. (For the full lifestyle and neighborhood detail, see the Brownstown area guide.)
What about mortgage rates?
Rates are the wildcard for every Downriver city, Brownstown included. The Freddie Mac 30-year fixed rose from 6.16% in January to 6.55% by mid-July 2026 — the opposite of what many expected. For the full national and rate picture, read the mid-2026 Downriver market report. The short version: don't wait on a rate drop that forecasters keep pushing further out.
