Downtown Ann Arbor Condo Review: Q4 2025
Published 1 week ago
Welcome to our latest deep dive into the Downtown Ann Arbor condo market! As we closed out 2025, the market continued its trend of historically low inventory coupled with very strong buyer demand. For both potential sellers and buyers, understanding these dynamics is key to making empowered decisions. We’re excited to share our findings from the fourth quarter and offer a glimpse into what’s ahead for our vibrant community.
At The Bouma Group, we believe that accurate, up-to-date information is the foundation of every successful real estate journey. Let’s explore the key trends, sales performance, and opportunities that defined the end of 2025.
Market Snapshot: Low Inventory and High Demand
The big story heading into 2026 is the scarcity of available condos. The fourth quarter of 2025 saw a significant drop in active listings compared to the same period in 2024, when there were 29 units on the market.
This past quarter, there were only 8 active resale listings. With two of those already under contract, it left just 6 available condos for eager buyers. This tight inventory creates a competitive environment, particularly for desirable properties. The price range for these available units is also notable, with four of the six priced over $1,000,000. The most accessible option started at $665,000, highlighting the premium on downtown living.
Perhaps the most talked-about listing is the stunning penthouse atop the former DTE building on South Main Street. Listed at an unprecedented $7,000,000, or about $1,400 per square foot, it stands as the most expensive condo in the history of downtown Ann Arbor. This listing signals a new ceiling for luxury urban living in our city.
New Construction Fuels Growth
212 Miller Ave Condo Building Under Construction
While the resale market is tight, new construction is bringing much-needed inventory to downtown. A total of 17 new construction condos were on the market, with 15 of them are already under contract. This demonstrates the strong desire for modern, new-build properties in prime locations.
Several additional developments are in various stages of planning, approval, or construction, promising to further transform the downtown landscape. These projects could introduce up to 1,168 new living units, including 102 condos and a significant number of apartments.
Here’s a quick look at what’s on the horizon:
- Marketplace (Under Construction): 18 new condos in the beloved Kerrytown neighborhood.
- Braun Ct (Approved): Another Kerrytown project set to add 36 condos.
- 1st Street Condos (In Planning): A development poised to bring 48 more condos to the market.
- Apartment Developments: Projects like 315 Huron, Dunbar, Kline Parking Lot, 415 Washington, and Near North will add hundreds of rental units, contributing to the overall housing supply.
Q4 2025 Sales Performance
The fourth quarter saw steady sales activity, with 12 condos sold. This figure is slightly down from the 15 sales recorded in Q4 2024, but it’s a strong number given the limited inventory. The sales included two new construction units and ten resale properties.

Advice for Sellers: A Prime Opportunity
If you have been thinking of selling your downtown condo, the current market presents an excellent opportunity. Prices are at historical highs, and strong buyer demand means well-positioned properties are attracting serious attention.
To capitalize on this moment, it’s crucial to present your home in the best possible light. This includes professional staging, high-quality photography, and completing any minor upgrades that can make a big impact. Pricing your condo competitively from the start is also essential for attracting the right buyers quickly.
While inventory is low now, it typically rises in the spring. Acting sooner rather than later could help you maximize your sale price and take advantage of the current demand before more competition enters the market. Working with an experienced agent who has a deep understanding of the Ann Arbor condo market is your greatest asset in navigating this process.
