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

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

A seller's market, and the fastest one Downriver. Homes sold in about 5 days on average, with 23 single-family homes sold in the prior 90 days and 1.6 months of supply. Only 8 closed in July, so read the median as directional — but a 5-day average is a demand signal you can trust.

Are Woodhaven prices still going up?

Over the past three years Woodhaven values rose about 4.8% per year. Steady appreciation in a small, fast-moving market where inventory rarely sits.

The draw is newer housing and easy access: the Woodhaven Civic Center, the Downriver Linked Greenways, Lake Erie Metropark just south, and the West Road corridor off I-75. (For the full lifestyle and neighborhood detail, see the Woodhaven area guide.)

What about mortgage rates?

Rates are the wildcard for every Downriver city, Woodhaven 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.
