Housing market in Detroit — is it worth buying?
Median home value here is around $76,800. Prices are reasonable compared to major metros. For those renting, typical rent is $1034.
Is now a good time to buy in Detroit? Or better to keep renting?
Looking for opinions from both homeowners and renters.

Rent tip: look for places in October-November. Prices drop and there's more availability.

The job market has been improving lately. Several finance companies moved in recently.

My kids love it here. So many parks and activities. So many outdoor activities.

Good summary. I'd rate it higher personally — maybe 6/10.

The food scene here is seriously underrated. So many great restaurants.

I'd add that the school system has been improving steadily. Otherwise spot on!
