Owner will probably refuse to convey to you as the oral promise violates the Statute of Frauds. Hopefully you have some sort of memorandum signed by owner. Consult with a MI attorney to draft a deed and attempt to tender the money for the deed.

Principal balance on my house was 75,000. on Dec. 31st it was sold at a sheriff auction on Jan.10th for 125,000. but the bank says there is only 897.00 left after the foreclosure cost. Are foreclosure auction sales that expensive?
