4 Michigan markets, 339 properties reviewed. As-is, no commissions, you pick the closing date.
Across our Michigan markets the median time on market runs 27–46 days depending on the city. A cash sale removes that window along with the financing risk that comes with a retail buyer.

No obligation, no fees, no repairs. We respond the same day.

Days on market are medians from our own Michigan deal records; rents are HUD Fair Market Rent for those ZIP codes. Updated 2026-09-14.
Median recorded sale prices across our Michigan markets run from $155,000 in Detroit to $230,000 in Grand Rapids. Same state, and roughly 48% apart — which is why we price by ZIP rather than by state.
We buy, hold and resell these properties ourselves — we are the buyer named on the contract. Our offer is based on what the property is worth to us after repairs — and it means we can close without a lender. Read how the offer is calculated before you talk to anyone.
Michigan closings are typically handled by a title company. The wrinkle worth knowing is that taxable value uncaps on transfer, so the buyer's tax bill will not match the one on your statement — and in Detroit specifically, city rental certification and any open blight tickets have to be cleared before a file closes.
On our side the sequence is the same every time: title search, payoff figures ordered on any existing mortgage, liens and municipal balances identified, then funds and deed recorded. Nothing about a cash sale skips title work — what it skips is the lender, the appraisal and the financing contingency, which is where most retail contracts on Detroit houses actually die.
General information about how these transactions typically proceed, not legal or tax advice. Your closing agent or attorney is the authority on your specific file.
The three steps, the cash-offer versus listing comparison, the three-day right to cancel and the four-line math behind the number are all on how it works — kept in one place rather than repeated on every page. What differs by market is the data, and that is on each city page above.
