Why Kerrytown and Water Hill owners call Propcash
The blocks around the Farmers Market hold some of Ann Arbor's longest tenures: houses bought for a fraction of today's prices and held for thirty or forty years. Selling one is a bigger decision than a listing calendar respects. We make the transaction simple so the decision can be about your life, not logistics.
- We buy long-held houses as-is, decades of wear and character included
- A written offer with the walkable-premium comps shown, held open with no expiration
- No obligation, walk away anytime
Selling a Kerrytown house to Propcash
Tell us about the house
A Victorian cottage off Detroit Street, a Water Hill bungalow, or the house you have owned since the market was a farmers' secret. Two minutes of questions, no obligation, no cleanup first.
Get your cash offer
We price it against real central Ann Arbor sales and send a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours, with the comparable sales and our reasoning included. It stays open while you decide at your own pace.
Review your offer and close
Accept whenever you are ready, pick the date, and a Michigan title company closes in as few as 7 days, or after one last market season if you prefer.
Example shown for illustration only, not a real offer. Every offer is based on the house and its local market.
We buy houses across Kerrytown and Water Hill
From Detroit Street and the market blocks up through Water Hill to Spring, Fountain, and North Main, Propcash buys houses throughout central Ann Arbor's walkable north side.
Propcash also buys houses on the Old West Side, in Burns Park, and in Northeast Ann Arbor, across Ann Arbor, and throughout Michigan.
Forty years of living in one house? We buy it as it stands.
Long tenure writes itself into a house: the systems that were modern in 1990, the additions built for a growing family, the garden that ate the garage. Financed buyers want it all normalized. We do not.

Systems a generation behind
The furnace, wiring, and windows of a long hold; we price them plainly

Additions and quirks built over decades
Un-permitted sunrooms and creative closets do not scare us

A lifetime of possessions
Take what you love, leave the rest; the cleanout is ours

Understanding the Kerrytown market
The walkable premium is real, and so is the tax wrinkle
Ann Arbor's typical home value hit $489,157 in April 2026, up 3.6% year over year (Zillow ZHVI, April 2026), and nothing in the city out-premiums a house you can walk from to the Farmers Market. But long-held central houses carry a quirk buyers notice: under Michigan's Proposal A, your taxable value has been capped for decades, and it uncaps to roughly half of market value the year after a sale. The buyer's tax bill can be multiples of yours, and financed buyers price that in.
What uncapping means for your sale
Nothing about uncapping stops a sale; it simply belongs in the math. Buyers, including us, factor the post-sale tax level into what a house nets. The difference is that we put it in writing: our offer shows the comparable sales and every adjustment, tax reality included, instead of letting it surface as a renegotiation after inspection. Certain family transfers avoid uncapping entirely (MCL 211.27a(7)), which is worth an attorney conversation if keeping the house in the family is on the table.
Timing without the circus
Ann Arbor homes took roughly 49 to 54 days to sell in late 2025 (Redfin, November 2025), and central listings draw heavy foot traffic: market Saturdays, football weekends, students on bikes. If opening your home of forty years to that parade sounds wrong, a direct sale replaces it with one visit and one written number.
A fair number for an irreplaceable block
The citywide median sale price was about $445,000 in November 2025 (Redfin, November 2025), but Kerrytown and Water Hill are not citywide. We price from the actual central-north comparables, show the premium these blocks earn, and let you take unlimited time with the decision. The offer does not expire.
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.
Kerrytown and Water Hill situations
Whatever brought you here, Propcash can make you a fair cash offer.
Ready to downsize downtown
Keep the neighborhood, lose the stairs. Sell the house as-is and move two blocks to a condo on your own timeline.
The long-hold finally ends
Bought in 1988, loved ever since, and now it is time. One respectful visit, one written offer, no staging your history.
An inherited central house
The family house near the market, heirs elsewhere, probate underway. We close when the estate can sell and handle the cleanout.
The accidental landlord near campus
A rental you have managed for years, tenants in place. We buy it with the lease running and take over at closing.
A big life change
Divorce, health, a move near family. A certain, private sale beats a public listing when life is already loud.
Weighing keep-versus-sell for the kids
Family transfers can avoid tax uncapping; selling converts equity to flexibility. Our written number gives that family conversation real figures.

If listing with an agent would serve you better, we'll point you to a local agent. We're always straightforward and transparent.
Frequently asked questions about selling in Kerrytown
Why would someone with a Kerrytown house sell to a cash buyer?
Privacy and simplicity, usually. Central Ann Arbor houses sell eventually on the open market, but the process means staging, weeks of strangers, and repair negotiations on a house that carries decades of personal history. A direct sale is one visit, one written offer with the comps shown, and a closing date you choose.
Do you cover Water Hill and the North Main blocks too?
Yes. We buy throughout central Ann Arbor's north side: Kerrytown proper, all of Water Hill including Spring, Fountain, and Sunset, the Detroit Street and Fifth Avenue blocks, and the North Main corridor, across 48104 and 48103.
My property taxes are tiny because I have owned the house since the 1980s. Does that affect the sale?
It affects the buyer's math, not your right to sell. Under Proposal A, taxable value uncaps to about half of market value the year after most sales, so any buyer's tax bill will be far higher than yours. We account for that openly in our written offer instead of springing it late, and if you are weighing a family transfer instead, some transfers avoid uncapping and deserve an attorney's advice first.
The house has decades of quirks and un-permitted projects. Is that a problem?
No. Sunrooms, studio sheds, creative basements, and other long-tenure projects are normal to us. We evaluate the house as it actually is and price it in writing; nothing needs to be undone or legalized before closing.
Do I have to empty the house before you buy it?
No. Take the belongings that matter and leave everything else, garden tools to attic boxes. We handle the cleanout after closing at no cost to you.
How fast can this happen if I decide to go?
As few as 7 days from acceptance, through a Michigan title company. Just as often our sellers pick a date months out, after one more market season or once the next home is ready. The offer waits either way; it does not expire.
What will I pay in fees?
Nothing. No commissions, which typically run 5-6% on an Ann Arbor sale, no closing costs charged to you, and no fees of any kind. The accepted number is what you receive.
How do I know the offer respects what these blocks are worth?
Because you can check it. Every Propcash offer arrives with the actual central Ann Arbor comparable sales we used and the adjustments we made, in plain writing. Show it to an agent, an appraiser, or your neighbor who watches every listing; it stands up, and it stays open while you look.
What happens after I reach out?
Usually within 24 hours you have a written cash offer. Your point of contact walks through it at your pace, on the phone or at your kitchen table, and no one ever pressures you. If the answer is not yet, or not ever, that is a fine answer.
Can you buy the house if it is rented to students?
Yes. We buy tenant-occupied houses and honor the lease after closing, which near campus usually means the tenancy simply continues under new ownership. You collect your equity without waiting for an August turnover.
