The houses
The Census puts the median home in Eastern Market at $164,000, 95% above Detroit's $83,900.
The median house was built in 1981, and 38% of the 1,002 homes here date from 1960 to 1979. Houses from those years often need a roof, windows and an updated electrical panel by now.
15% of homes stand vacant, by the Census count.

See the profileThe local rules
Detroit has not required a pre-sale inspection on a house since November 2014; a seller may still order one. In February 2026 the City Council's Legislative Policy Division reported that bringing mandatory inspections back would take an amendment to the Housing Code.
A sale before the last day pays the taxes at closing, and what is left is yours. A former owner can claim what a foreclosure sale brings above the taxes owed by filing Form 5743 with the Wayne County Treasurer by the July 1 after the foreclosure.
On a $164,000 sale, Michigan's transfer taxes come to about $1,410: $1,230 to the state and $180 to the county, usually paid by the seller at closing.

Rebuild Detroit buys houses in Eastern Market, the company Tevin Jackson founded and runs. When you ask for an offer here, the offer comes from us, not from a list of your details sold to investors, and it is checked against the local cash buyers in our network so you see the best way to sell.
Questions
Rebuild Detroit buys houses in Eastern Market itself, and cash buyers and wholesalers in our network serve it too, among them Dearborn Heights Carpet & Flooring Group. Rebuild Detroit makes its own offer and checks your request against them, so you see the best one.
Our offer starts from what the house would sell for fixed up, less the repairs, and never above what listing it would leave you. On a Eastern Market house worth $164,000 fixed up that needs a new roof and a furnace, that is about $81,000. Type your own address for your own offer; it holds 95% of the time when the condition you give is accurate.

Unpaid taxes go to the Wayne County Treasurer ((313) 224-5990) on March 1. If they stay unpaid, the house forfeits a year later and the foreclosure takes title on March 31 of the year after that. Selling before then pays the taxes at closing, and the rest is yours.
Yes. Rebuild Detroit and the cash buyers in our network buy as is, with no repairs or cleanout. You still fill out the Michigan seller disclosure with what you know about the house, and a title company checks for liens and pays you at closing.
