The houses
The Census puts the median home in Royal Oak Township at $161,200, 53% below Oakland County's $343,600.
The median house was built in 1963, and 46% of the 1,117 homes here date from 1960 to 1979. Houses from those years often need a roof, windows and an updated electrical panel by now.
32% of owners have no mortgage, so a cash price goes to them less closing costs and any taxes owed.
6% of homes stand vacant, by the Census count.
The median property tax bill is $2,277 a year; it is split at closing by the days each side owned the house.

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 Oakland County Treasurer by the July 1 after the foreclosure.
On a $161,200 sale, Michigan's transfer taxes come to about $1,389: $1,211 to the state and $178 to the county, usually paid by the seller at closing.

Questions
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 Royal Oak Township house worth $161,200 fixed up that needs a new roof and a furnace, that is about $79,000. 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 Oakland County Treasurer ((248) 858-0611) 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.
