Franklin (TN) on the 4th

One of several Historic Downtown Franklin TN's events, Franklin on the 4th is a wonderful mix of Music, Food and Crafts. Franklin blocks the traffic and opens the streets for pedestrian only several times each year for fun for people of all ages. After the fun and food, stick around for the fireworks. Franklin ends the night with a bang!

Franklin TN Real Estate - Chestnut Bend Spring 2009 Market Report

Chestnut Bend has had the most unusual Sales History for the past 18 months. In the 2008 Market Report for the neighborhood, we shared that 8 homes had sold for the year. ALL of them closed the second half. Todays report is for the 1st half of 2009. Comparing it to 2008 is impossible when there were NO CLOSINGS for the first half of last year.

The prices are down about 10% which is not that terrible considering the number of sales that have occurred. This is the type of neighborhood that rebounds quickly.

Chestnut Bend has always been a favorite neighborhood. It's walking distance to Franklin High School and to Historic downtown Franklin.

Activity in general has really picked up in the past few months. The $8000 First time Homebuyer Tax Credit has helped the lower end market. This, in turn, is allowing those sellers to move up into the next price range. Real Estate is a trickle up business.

Sometimes you just have to explain the picture.

The term `piebald`, used to identify a whitetail with at least
One extra splotch of white hair, has an interesting origin..
'Pie' means 'mixed up;' 'bald' means 'having a white spot.

River Landing Franklin TN Real Estate - Spring 2009 Market Report

In River Landing, like many of the upscale neighborhoods in Franklin TN, home sales are down. In 2008 11 homes sold in the first half of the year. Below, you will see that there has been One closing and there is One pending for the same time period.

The Closing that has occured was one of the smaller homes in the neighborhood. The sales price was down 12% from the average of 2008. As of today, we do not know what the sales price of the pending sale is, but the asking price is 30% below the same average.

There are 7 homes on the market with an average asking price of $146/square foot. I don't think the Sellers or their Realtors have looked at the comparables lately. It doesn't matter if the market is up or down some things in Real Estate don't change. It takes 5 things to sell a home: Location, Price, terms, Condition and Marketing. If you have location, price and condition you can get by without the others. But you can NEVER have one of these without the other two.
