🍩 LOCAL SPOTLIGHT | A TRAVERSE CITY TRADITION SINCE 1929

Some places just feel like Traverse City, and Potter's Bakery is one of them.

For 97 years, Potter's has been part of our community. What started with Norman and Julia Potter in downtown Traverse City back in 1929 has grown into a four-generation family tradition.

Today, Becky and her husband Bill are carrying on that legacy, keeping a piece of Traverse City history alive on Eighth Street.

And there's something to be said for a good old-fashioned neighborhood bakery. Fresh donuts, cookies, pastries, homemade breads, and that hometown atmosphere you just don't find everywhere anymore.

I've stopped in over the years, and it's exactly the kind of local business I love seeing continue to thrive.

If you haven't been in a while, stop by, grab something good, and support a Traverse City original!

📍 Potter's Bakery | 908 E. Eighth Street, Traverse City

Nearly a century in business. Four generations. Still locally owned.

Life in Traverse City, Michigan After the Summer Crowds 🍁

I love the energy that summer brings to Traverse City, but I think some of the best months around here come after the crowds have gone home. Restaurants are a little easier to get into, downtown slows down, and we get to enjoy a different side of Northern Michigan.

A few things I always look forward to this time of year:

✅ One of my favorite things is taking our dog for a walk through our Washington Street neighborhood. The fall colors, historic homes, and Halloween decorations make this time of year especially beautiful.

✅ Getting dinner at Poppycocks or The Flying Noodle without planning too far ahead.

✅ Grabbing drinks at Low Bar or 7 Monks.

✅ Coffee at Cuppa Joe and wandering around the Grand Traverse Commons.

✅ Heading up to Hop Lot in Suttons Bay for an afternoon.

I love our busy summers and everything tourism brings to the area, but living here year-round has made me appreciate the quieter months just as much.

For those of you who call Traverse City home, what's your favorite part of the off-season?

Why Traverse City Feels Like Home

There's a difference between visiting Traverse City and actually calling it home.

Visitors come for the beaches, restaurants, w**eries, and beautiful scenery. But when you live here, it's often the everyday things that you appreciate most.

Running into familiar faces downtown, taking the scenic route along Grand Traverse Bay, or spending a quiet evening on the water. It's watching the seasons change, from busy summer days to colorful fall drives along M-22 and those peaceful winter mornings after a fresh snowfall.

Traverse City has certainly grown over the years, and with that growth comes change. But there's still something special about the community, the local businesses, and the familiar places that make this area feel like home.

One thing I've always appreciated about Northern Michigan is the variety of lifestyles it offers. Whether you're downtown, tucked away on a quiet piece of property, or living along one of our beautiful lakes, there's something here for just about everyone.

For me, it's those everyday moments that make living here so enjoyable.

If you call Northern Michigan home, what's one thing about living here that you'd never want to give up?

Looking for a Home in Northern Michigan? Fall Might Be Worth a Closer Look.

Most people think of spring and summer as the best time to buy a home in Northern Michigan. There's usually more to choose from, the weather is great, and everyone seems to be out looking. But fall can bring some opportunities of its own, especially for buyers who aren't in a rush.

We're halfway through October, and the market is starting to slow down. Some homes have been listed since spring or early summer without selling. Maybe they were priced a little too high, maybe the right buyer hasn't come along, or maybe the seller just wasn't in a hurry. Whatever the reason, those properties are worth another look as we get closer to winter.

Sellers who have been on the market for several months may be more willing to have a conversation about price or other terms. That's not to say every seller is ready to make a deal, but there's often a little more room to negotiate when there aren't as many buyers competing for the same property.

The trade-off is that inventory tends to shrink as we head into the colder months. You'll likely have fewer homes to choose from, but you may also find yourself in a better position when the right one comes along.

If buying a home in the Traverse City area has been on your mind, I wouldn't automatically wait until spring. There are still some great properties available, and sometimes it's worth taking a second look at a home you may have passed over earlier in the year.

If there's a property you've been watching or you're curious about what's available in your price range, feel free to reach out. I'm always happy to help.
