Saginaw voters turn down proposal to repeal property tax cap

SAGINAW, Mich. (WJRT) - Voters in Saginaw turned down the proposal to eliminate the property tax cap. The measure lost by six points. In 1979, Saginaw residents voted to put a limit on property tax collections at $3.8 million, a limit believed to be like no other in the country. No inflation is included in that tax cap, so over the years, the city says it has reduced services because costs have increased.

LOGAN RICHETTI: Midland home prices continue to climb, but selling takes longer

If you own a home in Midland, there's good reason to be encouraged by the latest housing market numbers. Home prices continue to climb, buyer demand remains strong, and properties are selling for considerably more than they were just a year ago. But there's another side to the story that homeowners shouldn't overlook. Homes are taking more than twice as long to sell as they did last October, and buyers are negotiating harder than they were a year ago. That's an important shift in our local housing market, particularly for homeowners considering a move in 2027. The opportunity to sell successfully is certainly there —but preparation, pricing and presentation are becoming increasingly important. For those of you thinking about selling next year, some of the most valuable decisions you can make are the ones you make today. October's housing market by the numbers The City of Midland recorded 38 residential sales in October 2026, compared to 36 during the same month last year, an increase of 5.6%.
