Cherokee National Forest has 600 miles of trail, hundreds of miles of cold water creeks many of which are just waiting for the avid fly fisherman to explore.

What Does This All Tell Us? Well overall this is a great report. Homes are selling quicker and have a greater average sales price. The bad news is that on average folks are getting 2% less for their homes in comparison to what they are asking when compared to last year. Last year in February folks where getting about 97% of what they where asking and this year it is only 95%, and there is almost a 14 month supply of houses for sale. Everything cinsidered this is not nearly as bad of a market to be in, either as a buyer or a seller, as many places in the country.
