ANN ARBOR PF CHANG’S

Posted by Toth Team Worldwide on

urlAfter a long day of shopping at Briarwood Mall or exploring Downtown, Ann Arbor and enjoying Michigan’s beautiful summer weather,  I am sure you will want to end your day with a memorable dining experience! My favorite restaurant in Ann Arbor for Authentic Chinese Cuisine is PF Chang’s! located right outside of Briarwood Mall in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I was shocked at how many different small plates I could order! I was accustom to the traditional dining experience but PF Chang’s certainly changes up the pace! I order the Lettuce Wraps & The Ahi Tuna Appetizer and they are both one of a kind! PF Chang’s is committed to bringing something new to their guests tables. They want to create relationships with their customers and serve meals that are not forgotten. The new Ann Arbor restaurant opened in December of 2014 and has been a success ever since. PF Chang’s encourages their guests to to try new dishes and share the tasty flavors in a community dining style! The horse symbolizes the original forbidden city of china, which was built for China’s first emperor Qin shi huangdi. The horses were protection/security for the locals.

The Ann Arbor location is the seventh PF Chang’s to open in the state of Michigan – Wow are they expanding quickly! I am thrilled to see this company thrive due to their hard work; they deserve to be rewarded. PF Chang’s hours are Sunday – Thursday 11AM-10PM and Friday – Saturday 11AM-11PM. Happy Hour is between 3PM-7PM and is offered at the bar or patio at several of their locations. The restaurant has a comfortable atmosphere that invites people of all ages to come and celebrate their favorite moments with PF Chang’s! They are simply outstanding with their meal presentations. When I was there every dish that passed my eye caught my attention! Go to PF Chang’s unnamed-1Rewards to read about how you can become a member and receive exclusive invites, redeem special birthday gifts, & many more delicious rewards!

PF Chang’s is one of only a few other sit down restaurants in/near Briarwood Mall. The place is typically packed full of people during dinner hours (6-7PM) and without a reservation you may be waiting for a table! Fortunately, PF Chang’s is current with their systems and allows their guest access to book reservations via internet or telephone at anytime of the day. This gives folks the opportunity for last minute scheduling and easy reservation options!

What Do Recent Ann Arbor Market Trends Mean for You?

Looking to buy an Ann Arbor Home? Search all homes for sale

Today, we’re taking a look at real estate trends we’ve seen recently in the Ann Arbor area and determining what they mean for you and your family!

Right now, we’re in a seller’s market. We know this because anything less than a 6-month supply of homes favors sellers. We currently only have a 3-month supply, so it’s a great time to own a home in Ann Arbor! Homes that are under $200,000 are flying off the shelf right now, but homes above $500,000 (the luxury market) are selling a bit slower, at about 18 months. However, the exact market time is dependent on the particular area a home is in!6.8

Interest rates are still quite low, at about 5% for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages. This makes now a great time to buy, as the Fed plans to raise rates by the end of the year. If rates rise even 1%, it could cost you as much as $70,000 over the life of your loan!

If you have any questions about conditions in our area, or if you need real estate assistance of any kind, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to hear from you!

Fairy Door Popularity in Ann Arbor and the Surrounding Communities

Posted by Toth Team Worldwide on

Can you imagine finding a tiny little door about 6 to 8 inches high mounted anywhere on your property? Fairy Door Lovers can certainly imagine having just such an adorable, little, tiny door embellish their property, especially in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Why would a business like to have a Fairy Door?  Because they are so cute. They draw you in and make you feel happy. Some doors are inside the buildings and when you see them for the first time you think of all the creativity and imagination it took someone to construct such a remarkable little door and you smile. I always want to open the tiny little door to see what’s inside.

FairyDoorPicJonathan B. Wright, of Urban-Fairies.com has been living with fairy doors in his Ann Arbor home since the mid- 1990’s, when the kids in his wife’s day-care discovered one under the stairway. Jonathan installed the first door at Sweetwaters Coffee and Tea in Ann Arbor back in 2005. Within one week the whimsical little door was removed and once again the door appeared.  Read: Opening the secrets behind Ann Arbor’s famed fairy doors, Jen McKee, .  And See more pics of the little portals around Ann Arbor in an article written by Messy Nessy, The Town with a Subculture of Secret Tiny Doors.  The doors flourished between 2005 and 2008 because of Jonathan and other Fairy Door Lovers. New doors have opened and some old doors have closed over the years.

The doors continue to pop up in Ann Arbor and in neighboring towns.  No matter who creates the door they each begin with a lot of thought and creativity.  For instance, the door at the Ann Arbor Public Library is located on the Fairy Tale and Folklore bookshelf inside the library. Hans Christian Andersen would be so happy knowing children might then be reading his collection of 80 Fairy Tales for children.  How about a “Giggle” logo that can be found on the Fairy Door at the Google office in Ann Arbor.

fairy sghtingWhat do people leave at the doorstep of these adorable little doors?  Good-natured children and adults will leave pennies, notes, trinkets, tiny toys and feathers, any other tiny objects.  The carpenters building the fairy doors will construct them so the doors open and shut, out of materials such as wood, metal, ceramic, and brick. Some will even have a sash that actually pulls up and down letting you know if the store is open or closed.

Popularity is growing for the Fairy Doors beyond the city of Ann Arbor. If you know where there is a public Fairy Door hiding – let us know where it is so we can share in your joy.

Doors were meant to be opened.  Let us help you open the door to your new home. We can assist you through the entire buying process. To search for your new home go to:  www.HomeSearchAnnArbor.com.  If you are thinking selling, contact the TOTH TEAM for further at 734.426.6669 or [email protected].

Posted by Toth Team Worldwide on

Kathy Toth and Team Client Appreciation Party Held Regardless of the Freezing Temperatures.

Last evening was a great opportunity to get out of the Artic temperatures and warm up with some of our past and present clients.  With -10 to -15 below zero temperatures many braved the chill of the evening to sit, relax and enjoy dinner and camaraderie with the Toth Team.  “Our Clients are the Best,” said Kathy Toth!  “It’s a privilege to get a chance to visit with our clients, present and past, to see how everyone is doing?” A warm and wonderful evening was enjoyed by all.

Thanks, also, to Aubree’s Pizzeria and Grill in Dexter who did an outstanding job providing a wonderful setting for our Client Appreciation Party.  Thank you Aubree’s.
