The houses

What Metamora houses are like

The Census puts the median home in Metamora at $270,900, 13% above Lapeer County's $239,000.

The median house was built in 1977, and 28% of the 268 homes here date from before 1940. Houses that old often still carry plaster walls, original wiring and a cast iron drain stack, the work a cash buyer prices in first.

24% of owners have no mortgage, so a cash price goes to them less closing costs and any taxes owed.

4% of homes stand vacant, by the Census count.

The median property tax bill is $2,596 a year; it is split at closing by the days each side owned the house.

When Metamora's homes were built
  • Before 1940 28%
  • 1940 to 1959 11%
  • 1960 to 1979 14%
  • 1980 to 1999 28%
  • 2000 and later 18%

Behind on property taxes

  1. March 1, 2026 2025 taxes still unpaid go to the Lapeer County Treasurer as delinquent, with a 4% fee and 1% a month interest.
  2. March 1, 2027 The house forfeits to the Lapeer County Treasurer: a $175 fee is added and the interest grows by half a percent a month.
  3. March 31, 2028 The last day to pay. After a circuit court judgment, the Lapeer County Treasurer takes title and the house goes to auction that summer or fall.

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 Lapeer County Treasurer by the July 1 after the foreclosure.

Questions

Selling a house for cash in Metamora

How much would Rebuild Detroit pay for a Metamora house?

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 Metamora house worth $270,900 fixed up that needs a new roof and a furnace, that is about $145,000. Type your own address for your own offer; it holds 95% of the time when the condition you give is accurate.

Do I need a city inspection to sell a house in Metamora?

Some Metro Detroit towns require a sale inspection or certificate before closing and others do not. Ask Metamora's building department before you list. Metamora Village Office is at 48 E. High Street, (810) 678-2932.

What if I am behind on property taxes in Lapeer County?

Unpaid taxes go to the Lapeer County Treasurer ((810) 667-0239) 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.

Can I sell my Metamora house as is?

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.
