The local figures answer the first question: Novi, MI's current ACS housing baseline includes 28,351 total housing units, 26,801 occupied units, and 1,550 vacant units. For the decision at hand, those counts can help a borrower establish the scale of the measured housing base before comparing tenure, rent, current listings, property condition, and financing. The figures describe stock across the survey period; they do not say that 1,550 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 28,351 total units with 26,801 occupied and 1,550 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Novi, MI's ACS median gross rent is $1,747, while renter-occupied units account for 33.7% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 66.3%. For borrower planning, the $1,747 median includes rent and certain utilities for the measured rental stock; it does not identify a lease offer comparable to a home under consideration.
