🚨 Michigan Buyers — This Can Make or Break Your Budget 🚨
Before you write an offer, your Michigan buyer’s agent should ALWAYS verify the current taxable and assessed value of the home.
Why?
Because in Michigan, property taxes UNCAP when a home sells — often called “pop-up tax.”
👉 Yes, you only have to qualify using the seller’s current taxes,
👉 BUT after closing, your taxes can jump 80–100% or more once they uncap.
If you don’t know where those taxes are going to land:
• You can price yourself out of the house
• Or worse… become house-broke within the first year
A good buyer’s agent:
✔️ Estimates post-purchase taxes
✔️ Explains uncapping before you offer
✔️ Protects your long-term monthly budget — not just your approval letter
Smart buyers plan for tomorrow’s taxes, not yesterday’s. 💡
