For anyone considering buying or selling a downtown condo, understanding these trends is the first step toward making a smart, confident decision. Let’s dive into the numbers and explore what they mean for you.
Q3 2025 Downtown Condo Market by the Numbers
The third quarter showed steady activity, reflecting continued demand for the downtown lifestyle. A total of 17 condos were sold, showcasing a healthy turnover of properties. The market catered to a wide range of buyers, from those seeking cozy urban nests to those investing in luxurious, high-end residences.
Here’s a snapshot of the key statistics:
- Average Sale Price: $611,223
- Median Sale Price: $552,500
- Average Days on Market: 46
The average of 46 days on market indicates that well-priced and well-marketed properties moved efficiently. Buyers were decisive, but not frantic, creating a balanced environment for transactions. The relationship between the average and median sale prices suggests that while the luxury market is strong, the core of the market remains robust and accessible.
Market Highlights: Highs and Lows
The diversity of the downtown market was on full display this quarter. The highest-priced sale was a stunning unit at The Gallery, closing at an impressive $1,250,000. This sale highlights the strong appetite for premium, modern living with high-end finishes and amenities that premier buildings like The Gallery provide.
On the other end of the spectrum, the lowest-priced sale was at Tower Plaza for $284,900. This demonstrates that the dream of living downtown is attainable at various price points. Tower Plaza continues to be a popular choice for those wanting a prime location and a manageable footprint.
The Luxury Segment Shines
The luxury condo market showed significant strength in Q3. A total of three condos sold for over $1 million. This is a powerful indicator of the value buyers place on downtown Ann Arbor’s sophisticated urban lifestyle. These sales, including the top sale at The Gallery, underscore the demand for properties that offer exceptional quality, space, and location. As experts in this niche, The Bouma Group understands the nuances of marketing and negotiating these high-value properties to achieve outstanding results for our clients.
Hot Spots: Where are Condos Selling?
Certain buildings consistently capture buyer attention, and this quarter was no exception. Several key complexes saw multiple sales, pointing to their enduring appeal.
Ashley Terrace: A Center of Activity
With three sales in Q3, Ashley Terrace was one of the quarter’s most active buildings. Its central location, modern design, and mix of unit sizes make it a perennial favorite. Buyers are drawn to its convenience and the quality of life it offers, just steps from Main Street’s dining and shopping.
Ashley Mews, Nielsen Square, and Tower Plaza
Other notable buildings also saw significant activity. Ashley Mews and Nielsen Square each recorded two sales. Ashley Mews is beloved for its elegant, townhome-style living, offering a bit more privacy and space while still being in the middle of it all. Nielsen Square, situated in the charming Kerrytown district, appeals to those who love the area’s unique character and proximity to the farmers market.
Tower Plaza also saw two sales, reinforcing its position as a go-to for buyers seeking value and an unbeatable location adjacent to the University of Michigan’s campus.
