Question by Rachelle M: How far below Value are Foreclosures selling for in Ann Arbor Michigan?
We are looking at purchasing a home this month. We have found one we like and I just found out today that the bank foreclosed on it for 75k and they have it listed for 229k. The area is a good area and in a strong market they may get it, but that’s not the case. There is work that needs to be done, it’s not in turn key condition by any means. The layout is a little weird, the carpet needs replacing, the fireplace needs restoring, the outside needs some serious paint, there’s not even a mailbox or house numbers! No appliances or even shower heads in the bathrooms. It’s a 2200sqft home with air and heat, 4bdrm, 2ba. How low of an offer would anyone suggest we throw out there? I had an idea until I learned the bank didn’t have to pay hardly anything to get it back.
The house was originally priced at 299k. Most comps in the area are pricing in that price range but they are in good shape. The house is totally liveable the way it is, after you add appliances, it just needs “some TLC” as you realtors would say. But, I can buy a house the same sqft with a smaller lot for 180k and it has updated appliances in the kitchen, updated baths and is total turnkey condition. Does it sound right to pay the same amount for a house that is not in turnkey condition but on a 2 acre lot instead of a .25 acre? (yes in the same school district, and both houses have been on the market for the same amount of time) Also this home we want doesn’t have high efficency anything. I was thinking 175k w/ 7800 towards closing, but I’m wondering if that’s too high to start?

I have clients in Michigan that are buying homes for about half. Offer 100K and let them counter offer. I hear they have been stripping those homes clean once people move out. Make sure you have somone do a comp on the area. Also consider a rehab loan.

Question by Extreme R: Am I likely to be accepted to the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) School of Engineering?
Hi everyone,
I received my ACT scores, and I earned a 25 composite score. I made a 26 in English, 29 in mathematics, 22 in reading, and a 23 in science. I am currently filling out an application to the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) School of Engineering, and would like to know what my chances of acceptance are.
Also, if it would help, I am home-schooled, so therefore do not have a true GPA, but I am pretty confident that my essays are fairly strong.
I am applying for my Freshman year.
Thank you all for your HONEST opinion!!
Also, do I have a chance?
I have not taken any AP tests.
As for hobbies, I fly radio controlled aircraft, ranging from small electric helicopters to my newest airplane: a 39% scale Krill Katana S with a 10 foot wingspan and a 150cc twin cylinder gas engine. I have redesigned an airplane as well as modified my current airplanes.
I am also the presedent of the Glenn Acres Teen Association and founder of the Senior Outreach Program (helping the elderly in our community as well as neighboring communities.
I am also a member of the Academy of Model Aeronautics, the International Miniature Aircraft Association, member of the Eureka Springs Library Guild, and a board member of the Glenn Acres Property Owners Association.
I almost forgot to mention, I am interested in pursuing a career in Aerospace Engineering.

Question by Me-mon: Anyone know where I can find the jamaican spice pimento in Ann Arbor, Michigan?
I recently made a jamaican curry dish with some borrowed pimento spice and it was fabulous! I borrowed the spice from out of town guests who bought it in their home town which has a large jamaican population. I want to find more so I can experiment further with jamaican cooking, but I have no idea where to buy carribean items close by.
Best answer:
Answer by Gary Smith, Realtor®
I was under the impression pimento was stuffed into olives. Thanks for showing me there was also a spice, entirely different.
From what I read online, this is also called Allspice.
Try Zingerman’s in AA they have lots of stuff.

If they don’t have it, try ordering online from Rafal Spice in the Eastern Market of Detroit.

Question by cykessa: Does anyone remember the restaurant that Todd Blackledge went to when he was in Ann Arbor for a Michigan game?
I don’t remember what week it was. But during one of Michigan’s home games this year, Todd Blackledge went to a restaurant. He said that it was one you had to go to when you are in Ann Arbor. I would appreciate it, if someone could tell me what the name and maybe even the address. I am visiting Ann Arbor this weekend and we would like to check it out.
Thanks and GO BLUE!!

Is Ann Arbor going Hollywood? Moviemakers take renewed interest in filming here
Posted by Roger LeLievre | The Ann Arbor News April 22, 2008 10:21AM
Categories: Entertainment, Top Stories
Ann Arbor isn’t the movie-making mecca of the Midwest just yet, but local sources say interest in the city as a film location is heating up.
Commercial real estate agents say there has been a surge of inquiries about properties that could be used by filmmakers, several local schools are being scouted for filming locations, and the Ann Arbor Convention and Visitors Bureau is expanding its role as the go-to group for production companies seeking to shoot in the area.
“There’s certainly a flurry of activity and inquiries coming in. It goes a lot deeper than finding hotel rooms and mapping out sites for them to take a look at,” said Mary A. Kerr, Convention and Visitors Bureau president.

Answer by bgee2001ca
In the near future they may well come to Michigan, which will marginally help the economy.
Once they have run out of shoot locations, they will move on to another location in another state.

Question by skg1219: Does anyone have a good recipe for butternut squash enchiladas, like the dish from Seva in Ann Arbor?
I love the Butternut Squash Enchilada’s from Seva restaurant in Ann Arbor. I am trying to recreate them at home. Please send me recipes! Thanks.
Best answer:
Answer by Lu
I found 2 recipes…I am gonna have to try these!
Butternut Squash Enchiladas with Salsa Verde – Makes 8 servings.
1 package (16 oz.) diced peeled butternut squash, or 1 1/4 lb. squash, seeded, peeled and diced
Canola oil spray
1 can (15.5 oz.) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup (3 oz.) crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese, divided
8 large (about 7-inch) corn tortillas
1 jar (16 oz.) salsa verde
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)
Place squash in medium saucepan. Add 1 cup water. Cover pot tightly, and place over medium-high heat. Cook until squash is tender but not mushy, 12-15 minutes, depending on size of cubes. Drain squash, and set aside.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Select a baking dish just large enough to hold the eight tortillas, folded over and slightly overlapping, so that they fit snuggly in the dish. (You may want to “test” and see if the baking dish is the proper size by arranging unfilled, folded tortillas in it, as they would be once filled and ready to bake.) using the canola oil spray, lightly coat the interior of the baking dish and set aside.
Place beans in mixing bowl. Using fork, partially mash beans. Add squash and blend, leaving mixture coarsely mashed, with some beans still whole. Mix in 1/2 cup of the cheese. Season filling to taste with salt and pepper.
Coat a tortilla on both sides with cooking spray. Lay it on a plate. Spoon 3/4 cup of filling on one half of the tortilla. Fold tortilla in half over filling. Set it at one end of the baking dish. Repeat, placing filled tortillas so they overlap, filling baking dish tightly. Pour puréed sauce over assembled enchiladas. Sprinkle remaining cheese over sauce. Cover pan with foil.
Bake enchiladas about 30 minutes, until they are heated through and tortillas are soft. Uncover and serve garnished with cilantro, accompanied by cooked brown rice, if desired.
Butternut Squash Enchiladas
Squash Filling
1 med butternut or acorn squash (2 lb)
1 tbl olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup fresh corn, uncooked (frozen, ok)
3 cups monterey jack cheese, grated
1 doz corn tortillas
1/3 cup vegtable oil
To Prepare the Squash Filling
Preheat oven to 400°. Cut squash in half lengthwise and clean out seeds Place in small baking dish cut side up in one half inch of water and cook until soft (40-50 minutes). Let cool and spoon out meat. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add garlic, onions, and sauté 2-3 minutes until translucent. Mix in squash and corn and set aside.
To Assemble the Enchiladas
Heat vegetable oil over high heat and fry tortillas individually until soft. Pat dry with a paper towel. Grate cheeses. Place a spoon or two of squash mixture on a tortilla along with some cheese, roll up and place into a 9×13 baking dish. Repeat, placing enchiladas side by side, until baking dish is full. Top enchiladas with sauce and a little cheese and bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes.
