We buy houses across Macomb County, from Mount Clemens out to the county line. This page covers what selling here involves at the county level — the probate court, the register of deeds, the tax foreclosure timeline, and the transfer tax — along with every Macomb County city we cover.
Macomb County is where Detroit's auto workforce moved as it left the city, and the housing stock is a record of exactly that. Warren, Sterling Heights, Roseville, Eastpointe, and Center Line were largely built out between the late 1940s and the 1970s: brick ranches, tri-levels, and colonials on regular lots, built quickly and built well enough that most are still standing in usable shape. St. Clair Shores adds a lakefront market on the eastern edge, and Mount Clemens, the county seat, has an older downtown core.
Macomb has posted the strongest five-year value growth of the three counties we cover, which surprises sellers who still think of it as the affordable middle option. The dominant selling situation here follows directly from the housing history: a very large number of these homes were bought new by auto workers who then stayed in them for forty or fifty years. Those houses are now transferring, often through an estate, structurally sound but running on original furnaces, original wiring, and kitchens that haven't changed since the seventies.
A typical Macomb County home is worth $274,296, up 2% over the past year and up 24% across five years. Macomb sits between Wayne and Oakland on value and has the tightest internal range of the three. Sterling Heights and St. Clair Shores run above the county typical value, Center Line and Eastpointe below it, but the gap between the top and the bottom is far narrower than in Wayne County. Comparable sales are generally available throughout, so financing is rarely blocked at the neighborhood level the way it is in parts of Detroit.

Selling a house runs through county offices. Here's which ones, and what each one means for your sale.
Estates involving Macomb County property are handled through the Macomb County Probate Court in Mount Clemens. Given how many houses here are transferring from original owners who bought them decades ago, probate is a routine part of selling in this county rather than an unusual event, and we deal with it constantly.
The Macomb County Register of Deeds in Mount Clemens records the transfer. Long-held family homes sometimes carry surprises here — an old mortgage never formally discharged, or a deed that was never properly recorded after a previous transfer — which the title search surfaces.
The statewide timeline applies: forfeiture after roughly a year of delinquency, foreclosure the March of the third year, then auction. Arrears come out of the proceeds at closing, so falling behind doesn't stop a sale provided it closes before the deadline.
State transfer tax of $3.75 per $500 of value plus county transfer tax of $0.55 per $500 — $8.60 per $1,000 of sale price, customarily paid by the seller, with a principal residence exemption available from the state portion in some circumstances.
On a Macomb County home selling at the county's typical value of $274,296, the combined state and county transfer tax comes to roughly $2,359. It's customarily the seller's cost, and it's deducted at closing rather than paid up front.

Yes, and it's the most common situation we see in this county. A very large share of Macomb housing was bought new by auto workers who stayed put for decades, so houses coming to market now are frequently structurally sound but original throughout — old furnace, old panel, original kitchen and baths. On the open market that means either investing in updates before listing or accepting offers that price the work in, plus the time and showings. We buy as-is with all of it in place, and you can leave the contents of the house behind.
Less than it used to be. Macomb's typical home value remains below Oakland's, but it has grown faster over the last five years than either Wayne or Oakland, so the gap has narrowed. For a seller the practical point is that a number you heard a few years ago probably understates what your house is worth now. We'll give you a written offer with the reasoning behind it, and if listing would serve you better we'll tell you that too.
