Ann Arbor, MI illustrative estimate
Ann Arbor, MI illustrative home sale net proceeds estimate
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

See what you'd actually walk away with.
Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. The local-cost input is an editable cost reserve, not a verified local tax rate.

Selling an Ann Arbor house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Ann Arbor selling costs: transfer-tax estimate
The Ann Arbor calculator uses an estimated 0.86% Michigan state and Washtenaw County transfer-tax reserve. For an illustrative taxable value of $300,000, that estimate is $2,580. The final amount depends on taxable value, exemptions, recording details, contract terms, and the property's closing statement.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. The calculator is a planning comparison, not a title-company quote.
What sellers here should know
Older homes and historic districts
Ann Arbor has fifteen local historic districts. The Old West Side and Old Fourth Ward are among them. If your house is in a district, check the City's map and ask Historic Preservation about proposed exterior work before you budget for it.

nn Arbor homes, modest southeast Michigan ranch houses and two-story homes, small rentals, inherited houses, vacant properties, estate homes, compact multifamily properties, and repair-heavy Wash
