Why Burns Park families choose Propcash

- Written offers with the comparable sales shown, so every heir reads the same page
- No obligation, walk away anytime
How a Burns Park sale to Propcash works
Tell us about the house
A brick colonial on Baldwin, a shingled four-square near the park, or the house your parents bought in 1975 and never left. Two minutes of questions, no obligation, no preparation.
Get your cash offer
We price the house against real 48104 sales and send a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours, with the comps attached. It holds while probate, family calls, and second opinions run their course.
Review your offer and close
When the estate or the family is ready, a Michigan title company closes on your date, in as few as 7 days. Out-of-state heirs sign remotely.
Example shown for illustration only, not a real offer. Every offer is based on the house and its local market.
We buy houses across Burns Park and central 48104
From the streets around Burns Park itself to Granger, Baldwin, Lincoln, and Ferdon, Propcash buys houses throughout Ann Arbor's classic near-campus neighborhoods.
Propcash also buys houses on the Old West Side, in Kerrytown and Water Hill, and in Northeast Ann Arbor, across Ann Arbor, and throughout Michigan.
A century home kept one family's way for fifty years
Burns Park houses are solid, storied, and usually a generation behind on updates. The market calls that a problem; we call it Tuesday. We buy the house exactly as the family kept it.

Understanding the Burns Park market
Burns Park sits at the top of a high market
The 48104 zip code carried a typical home value around $516,637 in April 2026 (Zillow, April 2026), against a citywide Ann Arbor ZHVI of $489,157, up 3.6% year over year (Zillow ZHVI, April 2026). That is real money in an estate, and real stakes: every month a high-value house sits unsold costs the estate taxes, insurance, and upkeep at Burns Park prices.
Why these estates are hard to settle the usual way
Ann Arbor estates routinely exceed Michigan's $51,000 small-estate threshold, so they run through full EPIC probate in the Washtenaw County Probate Court, with a personal representative, a creditor window, and heirs who often live on other coasts. Add a house that needs a generation of updates before it photographs well, and the traditional path means a year of long-distance project management before the first showing.
The direct alternative
Once the estate has authority to sell, Propcash buys the house as-is, library and all, and closes through a Michigan title company on the family's schedule. No renovation, no estate-sale weekend, no showings. One written offer, the comparable sales attached, and proceeds the personal representative can distribute cleanly.
Worth asking your attorney about taxes
Michigan's Proposal A means a long-held Burns Park house carries a taxable value far below its market value, and taxes uncap for a buyer after most sales. Some family transfers are exempt from uncapping (MCL 211.27a(7)), which occasionally changes whether a family keeps or sells a house, and heirs also generally receive a stepped-up basis. We are happy to work alongside the estate's attorney while the family weighs it.
A direct cash homebuyer is a company that purchases houses itself, with its own funds, rather than listing them for sale or finding buyers on a seller's behalf. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer: we make the offer, we are the buyer, and the seller pays no commissions or fees. Sellers skip repairs, listings, and showings, and pick their own closing date.

Frequently asked questions about selling in Burns Park
Can the estate sell a Burns Park house while probate is still open?
Usually, yes. Under Michigan's EPIC, once the Washtenaw County Probate Court appoints a personal representative, that representative generally has authority to sell estate real property. Most Burns Park estates exceed the $51,000 small-estate threshold, so full probate applies; we simply time the closing to the estate's authority and coordinate with your attorney.
Which streets do you cover?
All of Burns Park and its surroundings: Granger, Baldwin, Lincoln, Wells, Ferdon, Olivia, the streets ringing the park itself, Ives Woods, and Lower Burns Park, across 48104. Near-campus houses on the district's edges are welcome too.
The house has not been renovated since the 1980s. Do we need to update it?
No. Original kitchens, veteran boilers, and dated baths are exactly what we expect in a long-held Burns Park house. We price the updating into a transparent offer, and the estate spends nothing on the house before closing.
What about the books, papers, and furniture of a whole career?
Take what the family treasures, including the collections, and leave the rest in place. We handle the entire cleanout after closing at no cost, and we treat what remains with respect.
Several heirs live out of state. How do they participate?
Everything can be done remotely: the written offer and its comps circulate by email, questions get answered on family calls, and closing documents are signed wherever each heir lives. Nobody flies to Michigan to sell the house.
Is a cash sale really wise for a house this valuable?
Sometimes listing is the better move, and we will say so when it is. The honest comparison is a listed price minus commissions, updates, and a year of carrying costs and risk, against a certain written number today. For estates that value speed, privacy, and simplicity, the as-is math often wins; the offer lets the family check it.
How fast can you close once the estate is ready?
As few as 7 days from acceptance, through a Michigan title company, or on any later date the estate chooses. The offer does not expire while probate finishes.
What does Propcash charge the estate?
Nothing. No commissions, which typically run 5-6% on an Ann Arbor sale, no closing costs charged to the seller, and no fees. The accepted offer is what the estate receives to distribute.
Will the buyer's property taxes change after the sale?
Generally yes. Under Proposal A, a long-held house's taxable value uncaps to roughly half its market value the year after most transfers, so the buyer's bill rises; that is a normal part of any Michigan sale and is priced into every buyer's math, including ours. Certain family transfers are exempt (MCL 211.27a(7)), which is worth discussing with the estate's attorney before deciding to sell.
What happens after we submit the address?
Usually within 24 hours the family receives a written cash offer with the 48104 comparables behind it. Your point of contact walks everyone through the numbers, coordinates with the attorney as needed, and never pushes a deadline. Accept, and the closing lands on the estate's chosen date.
