A worthy discussion!-----๐Ÿก The Real Problem in Today’s Market Isn’t Interest Rates… It’s Property Tax Uncapping

Everyone’s talking about rates—but here in Michigan (especially Muskegon), that’s not what’s keeping people from moving. - David John Medendorp 
It’s property tax uncapping.
  • Homeowners who’ve lived in their homes for years have low taxable values.
  •  The moment they sell and buy again, their taxes can jump dramatically—even if they downsize.
So what happens?
  • People stay put instead of moving
  • Seniors don’t downsize
  • Families can’t “move up”
  • Inventory stays low
  • Prices stay high
This creates a bottleneck across the entire market...
