There is something special about the place you call home, especially here in Ann Arbor where every season seems to have its own personality. From the bright buzz of game days to peaceful walks at Gallup Park, this city has a way of grounding you. And this year, more than ever, we were reminded of how important that feeling really is.

In 2025, we worked with so many Ann Arbor buyers and sellers who showed us what home truly means. Some were starting new chapters. Some were finally stepping into homes they had been dreaming about for years. Others were saying goodbye to places they had loved for a long time. Every experience reminded us that real estate is really about people. A house matters, but it is the life lived inside it that gives it meaning.

We watched first-time buyers unlock doors they could hardly believe belonged to them. We saw families settle into neighborhoods that felt right from the moment they arrived. We stood with longtime homeowners who handed over keys with pride, gratitude, and a little nostalgia. These are the moments that stay with us. They remind us why helping people find the right home is such a privilege.

Ann Arbor itself plays a big role in the feeling of home. It is the small shops in Kerrytown where the barista knows your order, the Saturday morning buzz at the Farmers Market, and the community events that keep the city connected. It is the quiet nature spots where you can slow down, the energy on Main Street during a warm evening, and the sense of welcoming that seems to be built into every corner of this town. Helping people find their place in a community like this never gets old.

As Thanksgiving approaches, we want to take a moment to say how grateful we are for the people who trust us. Thank you to every client who lets us be part of their journey. Thank you to the partners who help make each transaction smooth and supported. And thank you to the homeowners who open their doors and allow us to walk with them through one of life’s biggest decisions.

Here is to warm homes, full tables, and new memories that will last for years to come. If you are thinking about buying or selling in Ann Arbor, or simply planning ahead for the new year, we are here to help you make your next move with confidence.

Happy Thanksgiving, Ann Arbor!
