Sell your house fast in Moores Park

Moores Park sale prices, from our own records

Computed from recorded sales inside the mapped Moores Park boundary. Updated 2026-10-12.

At $138,750, Moores Park runs 22% below the Lansing median of $177,000. That difference is why we underwrite by neighborhood rather than by city. A citywide price per square foot would misprice this house in both directions.

The housing stock here has a median build year of 1926. That means knob-and-tube remnants, original galvanised supply lines and plaster walls are normal rather than exceptional — and all three are what an appraiser flags and a mortgage buyer walks away from. We price them in instead.

At $138,750 this is one of the lower-priced parts of Lansing, roughly 22% under the citywide median. Lower prices mean repair costs eat a larger share of the value, which is exactly where retail buyers and their lenders drop out and a cash sale is often the only one that closes.

Across 0.5 square miles we see a median of $114 per square foot. Square footage is the single biggest lever on the number here, which is why we ask for it before quoting anything.

What is a Moores Park house worth to you?

The median recorded sale here is $138,750 and $114 per square foot, on housing stock with a median build year of 1926. Our offer starts from that after-repair value, then subtracts repairs, holding and resale costs, and our margin — and we show you all four numbers.

What is the transfer tax when I sell a house in Michigan?

$7.50 per $1,000 state plus $1.10 per $1,000 county, $8.60 per $1,000 combined — about 0.86% of the price. Seller pays it under MCL 207.525 (state); MCL 207.504 (county). Statutorily the seller's obligation. A principal-residence sale can qualify for a state-portion exemption where the sale price does not exceed the property's true cash value; your title company will know. On a cash sale to us it comes out of our side of the settlement statement, not yours.

Do I need an attorney to close in Michigan?

No. Michigan closings are conducted by a title company. No attorney is required. The one Michigan-specific consequence to plan for is that taxable value uncaps on transfer under MCL 211.27a, so the buyer inherits a different tax bill from yours.

What do I have to disclose when selling a house in Michigan?

Michigan requires a written Seller's Disclosure Statement before you accept an offer on most one-to-four unit residential sales. Estates, foreclosures and court-ordered transfers are exempt, which is why an inherited house often moves faster here than sellers expect. The citation is MCL 565.957. Selling as-is does not remove the obligation — it changes who pays for the repair, not whether you have to mention it.

How much does it cost to sell a house in Lansing?

On the median Lansing sale price of $177,000 in our recorded-sales data, the listing route runs roughly $16,797 once you add agent commission, transfer tax, title and settlement fees, buyer concessions and pre-listing repairs — around 9% of the sale price. A cash sale to us carries none of those five line items.

What percentage of my home's value will a cash buyer offer?

There is no fixed percentage, and any buyer quoting one before seeing the property is guessing. The offer is after-repair value, minus repairs, minus holding and resale costs, minus the buyer's margin. Repairs is the line that moves most: a house needing only cosmetics lands far higher than one needing a roof and mechanicals. Ask any buyer to walk you through all four lines on your specific property.

Can I sell if I owe more than the house is worth?

Sometimes, through a short sale, but that needs your lender's written approval and takes months rather than days. We will tell you on the first call if that is what you are looking at, rather than let you find out two weeks in.

Can I really sell my house as-is?

Yes. We buy in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no staging — and you can leave behind anything you do not want. As-is changes who pays for the work, not what you are required to disclose about it.

What does a 'cash offer' actually mean?

That the purchase is funded without a mortgage, so there is no lender, no appraisal and no financing contingency. That is the whole of the advantage: financing falling through is the most common reason a residential sale collapses, and it cannot happen on a cash purchase.

How do I know your offer is fair?

Check it against the recorded sales published on this page and against the four-line calculation above it. We show you the comps the number came from. If listing would net you more, we will say so — that conversation is faster for both of us than the alternative.
