Buyer next steps

How to buy a home in Detroit, step by step

  1. 1

    Get a preapproval letter

    A lender reviews your income, credit and savings and puts in writing how much you can likely borrow. The CFPB notes this gives sellers confidence you can get financing. Compare mortgage preapproval lenders or read about mortgage options.

  2. 2

    Ask about down payment help

    Michigan's housing agency, MSHDA, runs the MI 10K DPA program for buyers with low and moderate incomes. It is paired with a MSHDA first mortgage and requires a homebuyer education class. Ask a participating lender if you qualify.

  3. 3

    Pick an agent and set alerts

    A buyer's agent watches new listings, books tours and pulls recent sales so you know what to offer. Get matched with a local agent.

  4. 4

    Tour and compare

    Check the roof, windows, basement walls, furnace age and electrical panel. Look at recently sold homes nearby to judge the price.

  5. 5

    Make an offer with an inspection period

    Book a home inspector in Detroit for a buyer home inspection. Older homes often need a sewer scope too.

  6. 6

    Close with title insurance

    A title company searches for liens and handles the closing. Read our Detroit home buying guide for the full checklist.

Smart buyer tips

Before you make an offer in Metro Detroit

  • Budget for taxes after the sale. In Michigan, a home's taxable value uncaps the year after it changes hands, so the seller's tax bill may be lower than yours will be.
  • Look up permits. Ask for permits on any big work like a new roof, furnace or finished basement. See permits and inspections.
  • Get repair quotes early. If the inspection finds problems, compare roofers, plumbers, electricians and foundation repair pros before the inspection period ends.
  • Know your rights. The federal Fair Housing Act bans discrimination in buying, renting and lending because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or disability.
