395 houses sold in Canton from April through September, most of them in under two weeks. The township doesn't inspect a standard owner-occupied sale, so the paperwork before you list is short. The harder part is the first price.
Every address has its own paperwork. Send us yours and we'll check it for open permits and the FEMA flood map.

From April through September, Canton houses priced right sold within two weeks. September showed what happens to the rest: more than half of the month's sales closed below their original price. We price for the market buyers see now, not the one from this spring.
Houses that didn't sell
How Canton listings ended
Every house that left the market in the six months to September 2026. 9% came off without selling and hadn't come back.
The houses that stayed off had been on the market a median of 53 days before they came off. The ones that sold took 9 days.
Each house counts once. One that was withdrawn and listed again counts by how it ended, and one still on the market isn't counted yet.

Market balance
Months of supply
How long the homes for sale now would take to sell at September's pace. Canton is at 2.9 months.
Before you list in Canton
Look up open permits
An old permit that was never closed turns up in the buyer's inspection or at the title company. Closing it now is usually a call and a final inspection.
Check the current flood map
FEMA revised Canton's map in spots in September 2025, along the Lower Rouge and Fellows, Tonquish and Willow creeks. If the home is in a zone, the buyer's lender will require flood insurance.
Book the final water reading
Water Billing needs at least 48 hours before closing. It's $20: 734-394-5240.
Renting it instead?
Register once ($100), then pass an inspection before a tenant moves in and every two years after: $200 plus a $40 fee each time.
