Selling a house in Detroit: what's different here
Detroit sits in Wayne County, MI.
Detroit values swing sharply block by block, so an offer here depends on the street more than the citywide averages — local knowledge is the whole game.
Wayne County's tax-foreclosure history means title work gets extra attention on Detroit deals; we run it early so surprises surface before closing, not at it.
How closings work in Michigan
Michigan closings run through title companies; two-to-three-week cash closings are standard.
Seller taxes and fees in Michigan
Michigan’s transfer tax totals 0.86% — 0.75% to the state plus $0.55 per $500 to the county — customarily paid by the seller.
If you're behind on the mortgage in Michigan
Michigan forecloses by advertisement (non-judicial) — four weeks of published notice and then the sale — but most homeowners then have a six-month redemption period after the auction. Selling before the sale is still far cleaner than trying to work inside redemption.
