Art on the Farm

This is  a one of a kind art event held in the Dexter/Chelsea area . They usually have some very unique artist's and some type of live music. The show is always held on the last Sunday in October and is a great way to spend a fall day before old man winter comes knocking. This year it lands on Halloween! Check out the link for more info http://www.artonthefarmdexter.com/

Estmated Property Tax

With the large difference of price my current buyers are paying for homes compared to the previous owner, I am often asked by my buyers "What is the amount of property tax I will be paying if I purchase this home?"

I came across a helpful page on the State of Michigan's Department of Treasury website, which will show future owners the answer to that question, using the property tax estimator. The only figure that is needed  is the current state equalized value (S.E.V.) which will sometimes be different from when it was originally listed for sale. The current (S.E.V.) can usually be found on the respective county's website that you're considering to purchase in.
