Fraser, Michigan

Fraser is a small, tight-knit Macomb County city that developed primarily in the 1960s and early 1970s, offering buyers a quiet residential character, convenient freeway access, and solid brick ranch and bi-level homes at competitive prices. The city's compact size and homogeneous housing stock make it a relatively predictable market for home inspection purposes — most homes share similar construction characteristics and similar aging concerns.

Ranch and bi-level homes from the 1960s and 1970s in Fraser typically carry original galvanized steel supply plumbing, cast-iron drain lines, and electrical service that may have been upgraded to 100 amps but could still present safety concerns depending on the condition of the panel and wiring. HVAC systems in homes of this era are often at or well past their expected service life, even when the equipment appears functional.

Block foundation basements are standard in Fraser's housing stock, and these structures are susceptible to moisture infiltration and mortar joint erosion after decades of Michigan freeze-thaw cycles. Finished basement spaces are common and should be inspected carefully for evidence of past or ongoing water intrusion, which can be obscured behind newer drywall or flooring.
