I am ready to declare that the Dyersburg real estate market is back and in recovery mode! Here is a post I did on my Dyersburg real estate market blog about the final numbers for 2011. I also did a post here on activerain detailing what happened in the Dyersburg real estate market in 2011.

Yesterday confirmed what I have already decided is happening in the Dyersburg market. Tammy Ladd from First Citizens National Bank Mortgage division came to speak at Carousel Realty's weekly training/staff meeting. She also brough us a delicious lunch compliments of First Citizens. Thank-you so much!

We had lots of questions for Tammy:

1. How well did the mortgage division do in 2011?
2. Have they added new personnel to help getting loans closed on time?
3. Are mortgage applications in January up or down verses same time last year?
4. How quickly can they close a loan?
5. What does Tammy and First Citizens have to offer different from other banks?

Here are Tammy's answers:

1. The mortgage closings were up over 2010 but especially in the last 2 months.
2. Tammy has gone from processing loans to originating loans so now 3 different people are originating. They have added additional people to process the loans. They also have 2 in-house underwriters that make the loan decisions.
3. Mortgage applications are way up over same time in 2011.
4. First Citizens processes and closes loans now according to close date. If we want a much quicker closing, the file will be pushed to the front providing the applicant provides all the required paperwork in a timely manner.
5. Tammy says she is paid just like we as Realtors are. She is paid per closed loan. She strives for great customer service and knows if she does that then there will be many repeat customers.

Based on what is happening in the Dyersburg MLS and what the bank is saying, the Dyersburg real estate market is on a rebound and let me say it is about time!

Here are the final numbers for Dyersburg,Tn residential sales for 2011. For the entire year(2011) the Dyersburg MLS sold $13,891,435 verses $9,999,708 for 2010. That is an increase of 39%.

Looking at the entire county(Dyer) 2011 residential sales actually slipped 3%. This is for the outskirts of Dyersburg and does not include Dyersburg or outlying cities.

The city of Newbern residential sales fell by 40% over 2010.

From these numbers I can see that the city of Dyersburg real estate market is beginning to recover but there are continued problems in the outlying areas.

Dyersburg,Tennessee real estate closings in December continue at a brisk pace. The first 9 months of the year our MLS was running way behind last year but November began the return to more normal sales. In November the residential sales for Dyersburg jumped 33% over November 2010.

For the time period Jan 1- Nov 30 Dyersburg real estate sales(residential) were up about 4 % over the same time period in 2010.

December 2011 promises to beat the previous 3-4 years(December only). Personally I have 5 different sales waiting to close this month and my agents also have several more.

In previous months most of the sales have been foreclosures but that number is declining with normal sales coming on strong.

Hopefully this is the beginning of the turn for the Dyersburg real estate market!

I woke up this morning and looked outside to see a fog over the field beside my house but below that fog several deer were grazing. After getting ready for work, my wife and homeschooled daughter drove with me to the park for our daily walk.

The air was cool but the fog had lifted and it was just beautiful, sunny day. I believe the fall or autumn is just my favorite season of the year. After a brutal heated summer the fall is always a welcome relief. Many areas of the country have already experienced the leaves changing colors but that is just beginning here in west Tennessee.

The forecast today here is sunny with a high of 78. I have my office window open and if that doesn't satisfy me I will find reasons to spend much of the day outdoors. Maybe some of my clients will want to preview several homes I have sent them by hyperlink!
