Zillow’s typical home value is a modeled measure, separate from completed-sale prices: $139,885 (As of August 2026; Zillow typical home value for Pontiac, MI). Treat it as market context, not a price for your address.
What the numbers mean for your house
The median sale price summarizes completed sales; days on market and homes sold describe sales activity. Zillow’s typical home value is modeled, not a completed-sale price. Each number has its own source, Pontiac geography, and period in the table. None prices an individual house.
Condition and needed repairs can change which sale path makes sense. A tenant, access limits, or turnover timing can affect the practical options too. How long you can wait matters when you compare repairs, listing costs, and the bills you carry in the meantime.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Michigan transfer taxes in Pontiac and Oakland County
Pontiac is in Oakland County, as noted in the City of Pontiac community profile. For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan’s state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of value, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another $0.55 for each $500, or part. State law generally makes the seller responsible for the state tax. State and county exemptions are separate, so the actual county rate and any exemption need to be checked for the sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from that promise.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
Compare the price with repairs or cleanout, mortgage payoff, listing commission if you list, other selling costs, and the bills you carry while waiting. The calculator lets you change planning assumptions to compare listing with selling as-is.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Pontiac market report questions
Do Pontiac market figures tell me what my house is worth?
No. The figures describe Pontiac market activity or a modeled typical value for the periods shown; they do not price your particular house. Condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing all affect your comparison.

How do I compare a sale price with what I may keep?
Compare the sale price or written offer with your payoff, repairs or cleanout, commissions if you list, closing costs, and bills while you wait. The calculator lets you change planning assumptions; its result is an estimate, not an offer.
