The houses
What Westland houses are like
The Census puts the median home in Westland at $184,600, about the same as Wayne County's $178,500.
The median house was built in 1969, and 39% of the 38,299 homes here date from 1960 to 1979. Houses from those years often need a roof, windows and an updated electrical panel by now.
36% 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 $2,751 a year; it is split at closing by the days each side owned the house.

How much would Rebuild Detroit pay for a Westland 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 Westland house worth $184,600 fixed up that needs a new roof and a furnace, that is about $93,000. 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 Westland?
Westland requires a Certificate of Approval on every house sold or transferred, before closing. The seller applies and pays $250. If the inspection is not finished, the buyer buys a $40 Approval Letter to Close and has 90 days to make the repairs.
What if I am behind on property taxes in Wayne County?
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.
Can I sell my Westland 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.
