How foreclosure works in Michigan
Most Michigan foreclosures are done “by advertisement,” outside of court. Knowing where you are on this timeline tells you how many options are still open. The earlier you act, the more of them you have.
1. Notice is published
The lender publishes a notice of the sale once a week for 4 weeks in a local newspaper and posts it on the house within 15 days of the first publication (MCL 600.3208).
2. Sheriff sale
The house is sold at a sheriff sale in the county where it sits.
3. Redemption period
After the sale there is usually still time to redeem the house: 1 year by default, 6 months for most homes where more than two-thirds of the original loan is still owed, and as little as 1 month if the house is abandoned (MCL 600.3240).
Dave buys houses during the redemption period, too.
Talk to your lender and a free housing counselor too
A loan modification, a repayment plan or a forbearance may let you keep the house. The State of Michigan lists free foreclosure-prevention counselors. Call your lender and a counselor, and compare what they offer with a sale. If selling is the better fit, we are here.
Find a free Michigan housing counselorWhen selling makes sense
- • You cannot catch up on payments and want to leave on your own terms.
- • The house needs repairs you cannot afford before listing it.
- • You need a closing date that fits a deadline, not a buyer’s loan approval.
