Buying a home in Detroit’s Midtown just turned into a wallet-buster for one couple, who were blindsided by a $20,000 property tax bill—more than their down payment! This isn’t just their problem; Michigan’s “uncapping” law means anyone buying a home could see their taxes skyrocket overnight. Even with a primary residence exemption, the bill barely budged. Real estate pros say this is scaring off buyers and threatening Detroit’s comeback. If you’re house-hunting or already own, double-check when your property was last “uncapped” and make sure you’re getting all the exemptions you deserve. Anyone else shocked by how fast these costs can pile up? #RealEstate #Detroit #HomeBuying
