Detroit House Hunting: Fetching Bagley colonial

The "golden handcuffs" phenomenon is still clogging segments of the housing market, but intriguing new listings keep popping up in Detroit.

Driving the news: This week's installment in our recurring real estate feature takes us to the Bagley neighborhood near the Avenue of Fashion business district on Livernois.

18660 Indiana St., $219,999

💭 Joe's thought bubble: This three-bedroom colonial makes a strong first impression — the new porch and outdoor upgrades stood out immediately when I pulled up to the curb.

• The hardwood floors, fireplace and new backyard patio make the house a must-see if it's within your budget.
• For comparison, this two-bedroom in Ferndale — about 3 miles away — is asking $10,000 more for half the square footage.

Of note: An open house is scheduled for Saturday from noon-2:30pm.
