Selling a house in Michigan: the rules that matter
Who runs the closing
Michigan closings run through title companies; two-to-three-week cash closings are standard.
Seller taxes and fees
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.
The foreclosure clock
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.
