I lived in Michigan for 9 years. I must admit that $1 million does not get you anywhere near what it did when I lived there. House inflation is real and it’s hit Michigan like it’s hit so many other states. Regardless, $1 million gets you a pretty nice home in every area of the state. What follows are ten real-life listings priced around $1 million, give or take. The samples are taken from all over the state.
