Title risk

Liens that survive the sale
Circuit-court tax foreclosure is intended to convey title free of most prior private liens; federal tax liens and some governmental assessments can survive.
Quiet title
Judgment of foreclosure is the primary clearing step; some insurers still require quiet title or seasoning.

Michigan state equalized value is 50% of true cash value by constitution (Mich. Const. art. IX, § 3); taxable value may be lower still. The SEV published with these auction listings is taken from the delinquent tax year that was foreclosed upon, so it is typically several years stale — in a rising market it understates current value, and in a falling one it overstates it.
