Can You Sell a House in Michigan That's Still Under a Land Contract?

You can sell a house in Michigan under a land contract, but the process differs if you are owed money or still paying. A land contract means the seller keeps the title until full payment. Traditional sales are difficult due to title issues and lender reluctance. Selling to a cash buyer who handles payoff and title transfer is often the fastest, clearing the contract and closing within weeks, even if the contract is unrecorded.
