WDO's...
Reporting on WDO's (Wood Destroying Organisms) by home inspectors varies Mud Shelter Tubesfrom State to State. In Tennessee, home inspectors are not required to conduct pest infestation inspections as this is a separate inspection conducted by licensed pest control companies. However; when inspecting a property, savvy inspectors keep an eye out for these insects that can literally eat you out of house and home.
Home inspectors are not a codes inspectors, but home inspectors must know the important local building codes to be good at what they do. “Acceptable Building Practices” or International Residential Codes (IRC) requires builders to remove all wood and construction debris from the crawlspace. This is to prevent left over wood debris from the construction phase from acting as bait especially here in the Construction debris in crawlspacesouthern states where subterranean termite activity is very high.
Good home inspectors leave noting to chance when it comes to protecting your interests when purchasing a new home. As a courtesy to my customers, I note such activity in my reports even though the property must have a clear termite letter. I also recommend that all wood and foreign debris be removed to keep these unwanted visitors from coming back.

Fuse Boxes - Are They Safe?

Michael Thornton - Nashville, TN area Home Inspector - 615.661.0297: Inspector in Brentwood, TN

Fuse Boxes - Are They Safe?
Many older properties still have fuse boxes. While, these antiquated devices are Fuse Boxokay, fuse panels, unless altered can be deemed safe. I consult my clients to consider replacing these with modern devices. Here's why:
Older style fuse boxes serve the same purpose as circuit breaker boxes in that the fuse controls the amount of electrical current from appliances within a home.
However; fuse boxes are outdated by modern standards. The advantage to having circuit breakers in a home is that instead of replacing a fuse each time it is used, circuit breakers can be easily reset. In the event of an overloaded circuit, fuses have been proven to be more reliable and will "blow". Replacing blown fuses can be frustrating, expensive and time consuming. Because it is easy to over-fuse circuits, may insurance companies will not insure fuse panels unless the S-type retro devices are installed. Even with these devices, some insurance carriers charge more to insure fuse panels.
According to studies, faulty electrical wiring causes approximately forty thousand house fires annually. Like circuit breakers, fuses are used to prevent over heated wiring and fires by interrupting electrical currents in overloaded circuits. When a fuse blows or a circuit breaker trips, it is important to locate the source of the problem.
For instance, if you have lights that seem to stop working frequently, you may have too many items connected to a single power source. Sometimes an appliance may have a short circuit; it could even mean a short circuit in the home’s internal wiring. In either case, it is best to have a professional in the appropriate trade evaluate the fuse box and wiring.
As you would in a circuit breaker panel, label each fuse in the box. Labeling each fuse can make it easier to identify the suspect circuit. As a safety reminder, when replacing a fuse, turn everything off in the circuit to prevent electrocution.

Larry Brewer
Larry   Brewer: Real Estate Agent in Nashville, TN

Nashville HomesNashville Homes sales for January included 1116 home closings and 158 condo closings, and increase of 22 percent for homes and 35 percent for condos. Inventory levels for single family homes are down 18 percent compared to the same period one year ago, and Nashville condo inventory levels are down 26 percent. All of this together means that it’s tougher for buyers to find what they are looking for, and a better opportunity for sellers to get a fair price for their Nashville real estate

  • 1116 Nashville homes closed in January compared to 918 in 2011, a 22 percent increase
  • 158 Nashville condos closed compared to 117 last year, a 35 percent increase
  • the median price of Nashville homes sold was $157,500 compared to $165,325 last year
  • the median price of Nashville condos was $140,325 compared to $131,500 last year
  • 1o,971 Nashville homes are available for purchase compared to 12,595 last year
  • 1526 Nashville condos are available compared to 1922 last year
  • the absorption rate for Nashville homes based on January sales is 9.8 months
  • the absorption rate for Nashville condos is 9.5 months
  • The average number of days on the market for a single-family home was 95 days

The statistics are showing a trend for a very strong year for Nashville real estate, and for those who are interesting in buying a home or condo, don’t expect the better properties to last long.
