Most lenders recommend spending no more than 28-31% of your gross monthly income on housing costs including mortgage, taxes, and insurance. In Metro Detroit the median home price varies widely by community — from the mid-$200s in areas like Royal Oak to $800K+ in Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills. Our team connects you with trusted lenders who provide free pre-approval so you know your exact budget before touring homes.
Earnest money is a good-faith deposit you submit with your purchase offer to show the seller you are serious. In Michigan the typical earnest money deposit ranges from 1% to 3% of the purchase price. The funds are held in an escrow account and applied toward your down payment or closing costs at closing. If the deal falls through for a reason covered in your contract contingencies, you generally get the deposit back.
From accepted offer to closing, the average timeline in Michigan is 30 to 45 days for a financed purchase. Cash purchases can close in as few as 10 to 14 days. The timeline depends on factors like loan type, appraisal scheduling, title work, and inspection negotiations. Our team manages every deadline so nothing falls through the cracks.
Buyer closing costs in Michigan typically range from 2% to 5% of the purchase price. These include lender fees, title insurance, appraisal, home inspection, prepaid property taxes, and homeowners insurance. On a $350,000 home that could be roughly $7,000 to $17,500. In many cases we can negotiate for the seller to contribute toward your closing costs.
It depends on your financial situation and the current market. Selling first gives you a known budget and makes your offer stronger, but you may need temporary housing. Buying first avoids a double move but means carrying two mortgages. A third option is a home-sale contingency or bridge loan. Our team helps you evaluate all options — contact us at (248) 716-6077 to discuss your unique situation.
