Although the number of home sales in Grand Traverse County was slightly down from last year, overall total sales increased by 194 units.  The average selling price is down from $200,358 to $174,101 and the number of days on the market is holding fairly steady at nearly 180 days.  The highest number of units sold was in the $120,000 - $139,999 price range, with high totals in the $80,000 - $119,999 price ranges as well.  The tax credit has attracted many first-time homebuyers into the marketplace and has helped to boost sales in these price ranges.

We are experiencing a solid real estate market so far this winter here in Traverse City.  This is encouraging as we begin a new year, and a new decade!

The conditional rescission allows for an owner to have a PRE on a current Michigan property and on a previously exempted property at the same time.  If that property is currently for sale, is not occupied or leased, and is not used for any business or commercial purposes, an owner can retain the exemption on this property simultaneously with their current exempted property for up to three years. 

If you’ve moved, have your previous home for sale and you meet the above criteria, be sure to take advantage of this opportunity.  To initially qualify for the conditional rescission, you must have this same form filed with the city or township by May 1^st of the year of the claim (and then submit it annually before December 31^st as mentioned above for each subsequent year). 

If you’re looking to claim an exemption for a property in the Traverse City area, feel free to contact me and I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have and help you with the filing process.
