ANN ARBOR MICHIGAN DINING / RESTAURANT CHOICES

by Tom Stachler,ABR,CDPE - Group One Realty Team

Get a Taste of Ann Arbor Michigan Dining Choices: Start with simple: Le Dog, elevating soup and hot dogs to haute cuisine. Or engage in gursha—eating from the same plate and sharing the same bread—at the Blue Nile Ethiopian Restaurant. For pizza, Food and Wine recommended Mani Osteria in their recent list of the USA’s Best New Pizza Places.’ If you prefer liquid calories, the Grange Kitchen & Bar offers the GKB Manhattan, a bacon-infused bourbon masterpiece. And if you can’t make up your mind, there’s still a destination for you: Mark’s Carts—eight delicious food carts in one lively (and lovely) outdoor courtyard.

Ann Arbor’s breweries are ready to wet your whistle: Working up a thirst? Leave the food aside (or bring your own) atWolverine State Brewing Company’s pub quiz night. Or “go eco” with the ground breaking solar brews at Arbor Brewing Company. And, if you’re still hankering for a lil snack, Original Gravity can help—with mouthwatering brews and bites.

Every Ann Arbor beginning should end at the Big Z: From the world famous Ruben at Zingerman’s Deli, to award-winning fare at Zingerman’s Roadhouse, to the sweet satisfaction of the Zingerman’s Creamery, the “Big Z” is truly an Ann Arbor institution. They even ship their offerings via mail order. But we suggest you make the trip—and see how Zingerman’s earned a spot on USA Today’s “Best Off the Interstate road trip list.

What’s your specialty?: Unfortunately, you have to eat at Home sometime. So Get help—from prep to post-meal—at Ann Arbor’s specialty stores. You can Peruse the coolest chefs’ supplies at Hollander’s Upstairs at Kerrytown Market & Shops, gather scrumptious seasonal ingredients at Ann Arbor Farmer’s Market, pick out a bottle of fine wine at Morgan & York, or maybe sample and purchase sweet and savory cherry treats at Cherry Republic.

If you’re hungry to engage in the art of dining, there’s only one destination—Ann Arbor Michigan.

Michigan Property Tax Homestead Exemption Information

by Tom Stachler,ABR,CDPE - Group One Realty Team

New Changes in the State of Michigan Homestead Exemption Filing Dates

Good News.  The Michigan Association of Realtors was instrumental in helping get this signed yesterday. The former deadline date of May 1st for your homestead exemption and discount on property taxes for Michigan property has been changed.  

See the information below regarding your Michigan Property tax homestead exemption and tax discount.

Legislation Signed by the Governor
5/2/2012

Today, Governor Snyder signed legislation providing homebuyers a fair process when it comes to their property taxes.

Senate Bill 349, sponsored by Senator Dave Hildenbrand (R-Lowell) creates two Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) filing dates; one on June 1st, and the other on November 1st. Additionally, this legislation allows bank-owned properties to retain their PRE so that buyers can qualify at the lower rate of taxation. This is particularly important since foreclosures have flooded the market in recent years.

Below are a few FAQ's regarding the new law:

1) Does the legislation take effect this year?
A) Yes. The new law moves current May 1st PRE filing deadline to June 1st of this year.

2) How does it work?
A) If a homebuyer purchases a Principal Residence and closes on or before June 1st, they can take advantage of a significant tax break by filing for a Principal Residence Exemption.

3) When is the additional filing date? A) November 1st. This allows for tax relief in those communities that still collect a portion, if not all of their non-homestead mills, on the December tax bill.

4) If my client buys after June 1st this year, what can they expect?
A) If a homebuyer purchases a Home after the June 1st filing deadline, and their local tax authority collects all non-homestead mills on the spring tax bill, their property taxes may not reflect the exemption until the next tax bill. If however that local tax authority collects a portion of the non-homestead mills on the winter tax billing cycle, the homebuyer can file for a PRE before the November 1st and exempt themselves from any non-homestead mills collected on the December bill.

5) What about the foreclosure provisions?
A) Banks have the option of maintaining the home's Principal Residence status by filing a Conditional Rescission. By maintaining this exemption status, it's the expectation that borrowers will be able to qualify for financing on these foreclosed properties at the PRE rate and begin paying the lower rate of taxation as soon as they move into the home. To make up for the lost school revenue, banks will be assessed a newly defined tax that will keep the 18 mills (which they presently pay on any foreclosed property) when a property can no longer qualify as a principle residence. It is important for those REALTORS® working with bank clients to let lenders know about the change and communicate the benefit of filing a Conditional Rescission.
