About Novi
Novi is one of Oakland County's most strategically positioned cities — a major I-96 corridor hub with diverse housing, significant commercial development, and a growing population that has made it one of Michigan's fastest-growing cities over the past two decades. The city is home to Twelve Oaks Mall, major employer campuses, and Walled Lake, which provides waterfront living access within the city limits.
Novi has one of the most diverse populations in Oakland County, with a significant South Asian community that has shaped the city's restaurant, retail, and cultural infrastructure. The combination of highway access, housing variety, and a diverse community character makes Novi a consistently high-demand market.
Real Estate Overview
Novi's housing market covers substantial ground — from affordable condos in planned communities to lakefront estates on Walled Lake. New construction has been a consistent feature of the Novi market, with active builder communities in various stages throughout the city.
Proximity to major employer campuses in Southfield, Auburn Hills, and along the M-5 corridor drives consistent demand, along with the city's highway access and housing diversity. The market is active and competitive at most price points.
What Your Budget Buys in Novi
Entry Tier

Brad’s Take
“Novi is one of the most well-rounded markets in Oakland County right now. You've got new construction still available, lake access options, a diverse restaurant and retail scene, and I-96 right there. Buyers who've been comparing Novi to West Bloomfield or Bloomfield Township often end up in Novi because you get more for your dollar.”
