Michigan Market
Michigan’s foreclosure process is unique because it combines a fast non-judicial sale (approximately 60 days) with one of the most generous post-sale redemption periods in the country — 6 to 12 months depending on how much you owe. In 2025, the state recorded an estimated 10,500 foreclosure filings with a rate of 1 in every 3,419 housing units according to ATTOM Data Solutions. Michigan had 1,260 REOs in the first half of 2025 alone. The median home price in Michigan is $249,000 (2025), below the national average, reflecting the state’s mix of expensive markets (Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids) and deeply affordable areas (Detroit, Flint). Michigan’s non-judicial process requires the lender to publish a notice of sale in a local newspaper for four consecutive weeks and post the notice on the property at least 15 days before the sale. After the sale, Michigan law provides a critical safety net: if you owe more than two-thirds of the original loan amount, you get 6 months to redeem your home by paying the sale price plus costs. If you owe two-thirds or less, you get a full year. This redemption period means you can continue living in your home after the auction while you arrange financing or sell the property. Detroit’s housing market has undergone a dramatic transformation — median prices have surged in recent years, but many homeowners still face distress due to property tax burdens, deferred maintenance on older homes, and stagnant wages. Wayne County (Detroit) has historically had some of the highest foreclosure rates in the state.
