Downtown Ann Arbor Condo Market Update: Q1 2026
The Downtown Ann Arbor condo market is springing into action, but buyers face tighter inventory than they did last year. The downtown landscape continues to evolve rapidly. City planners continue to approve new condo and apartment developments, promising fresh opportunities on the horizon.
Whether you want to buy your first downtown property or sell a luxury penthouse, understanding these shifts is crucial. Here is your complete breakdown of the Q1 2026 real estate market.
The Shifting Downtown Landscape
Inventory remains a key factor this quarter. While resale options have dipped, new construction projects are stepping up to meet the high demand for downtown living.
New Construction and Future Developments
Currently, 15 new construction condos are listed in the MLS, with four already under contract. Several exciting projects recently received approval, which will significantly expand downtown housing options:
- Braun Court: 36 luxury condos
- 303 Detroit: 18 luxury condos
- Dunbar Tower: 63 affordable apartments
Additionally, several major projects are currently in the planning phase:
- 315 Huron: 285 apartments
- 1st Street Condos: 48 condos
Active Resale Inventory Dips
The resale market is highly competitive. Right now, 19 resale listings are on the market. Eight of those are already under contract, leaving just 11 condos actively available for purchase. This represents a significant drop from the first quarter of 2025, which featured 18 available units.
