In July 2026, the median home in Riverview sold for $308,000 — one of the higher-priced Downriver markets, on a thin month of just 8 closings. Homes moved in about 28 days, and values have climbed roughly 2.9% a year over the last three years.

What are homes selling for in Riverview right now?

The July 2026 median was $308,000 — above Wayne County's July 2026 median of $230,000 and well below the national median of $434,100. Riverview prices well above the county median, though on a small number of sales each month.

Here's how Riverview ranks against every core Downriver city:

Is Riverview a buyer's or seller's market?

A seller's market on tight supply — 1.3 months. Homes sold in about 28 days on average, with 25 single-family homes sold in the prior 90 days. Worth saying plainly: only 8 of those closed in July, so the monthly median is a small sample. Supply and days on market are the sturdier signals here.

Are Riverview prices still going up?

Over the past three years Riverview values rose about 2.9% per year — the softest three-year run of the ten. Riverview is a small market where monthly medians swing hard, so the three-year figure is the one worth weighting.

The draw is a quiet, established feel with real amenities: Young Patriots Park, the city-owned Riverview Highlands golf course and its adjacent land preserve, and quick Fort Street access. (For the full lifestyle and neighborhood detail, see the Riverview area guide.)

What about mortgage rates?

Rates are the wildcard for every Downriver city, Riverview 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.
