In Michigan you have 6 month period after a auction of a home at foreclosure to pay the full amount of the loan foreclosed. If you pay it then you get your property back.

The redemption period is the time after foreclosure that you have to purchase your house back by law. In this time you may also remain in the home, payment free, in most cases. However, at the end of the period the Sheriff will serve notice on you to move out and you generally only have 1 day in which to move out so you had better plan ahead if you wish to stay the full time.
