Selling an older Grand Rapids house

Many city homes date from the late 1800s through the 1920s, including large historic houses in Heritage Hill and modest frame homes on the southeast and west sides. Old wiring, plumbing, roofs and lead paint are common issues. Grand Rapids requires rental properties to be certified by the city, which adds inspections and paperwork for landlords.

Zillow also reported that about 31% of metro listings had a price cut in September 2026, and Realtor.com showed 22% of active Kent County listings with a price reduction. Even in a fast market, houses that need major work have to be priced for it.

Grand Rapids sellers we often help

Landlords, heirs, owners of houses with code issues, and homeowners behind on taxes or payments.

Before you sell in Grand Rapids

Michigan’s property tax foreclosure process applies here too: when taxes go unpaid for roughly two to three years, the Kent County Treasurer can foreclose. If you’re behind, contact the Treasurer and consider your options early. If you’re a landlord, check your rental certification status and gather leases before you sell.

Foreclosure, probate and property taxes in Grand Rapids

Most Michigan mortgage foreclosures are non-judicial (“foreclosure by advertisement”). The lender publishes notice and the property is sold at a sheriff’s sale, after which most homeowners have a redemption period (often six months for typical residential property) before the buyer takes ownership.

Estates are handled by the Kent County Probate Court. Michigan also has a separate property tax foreclosure process run by the county treasurer. When property taxes go unpaid for roughly two to three years, the county can foreclose and take title, wiping out the owner’s equity in many cases.

This is general information to help you understand your options, not legal advice. Deadlines and procedures depend on your specific case, so talk with a local attorney or HUD-approved housing counselor about your situation.
