Brentwood TN Real EstateMarket Report September/October 2009
Home Sales in the Brentwood market for 2009 have continued to hold steady with those of the fall of 2008.
While the prices are down, the number of transactions and the days on the market seem to be very similar. In doing the study we first just did ALL sales in Brentwood, Williamson County.
This number included homes in every price range. Normally that's how one would want to see the numbers. But when there are well under 100 transactions, even one number very high or very low will throw off the average and not show a true picture of what is happening in the markets.
Brentwood TN Real Estate has always followed it's own trends. Many of the home sales are the result of families being relocated into or out of the Middle Tennessee area.
That being said, the numbers showed the following for September:
| # of homes Sold | List Price | Sales Price | Days on Market | Difference | |
| 2008 | 39 | $641,312 | $606,124 | 116 | -5% |
| 2009 | 40 | 774,421 | 623,054 | 120 | -20% |
After looking at the details, we determined that the bulk of the sales are usually under $900,000. By adding in the Million dollar homes, it threw the averages too much. In September of 2008 there were 3 homes sold over 1 million. In 2009, there were 6 properties sold over 1 million. With almost the same number of transactions, the averages did not reflect the general market trends. It does show that Buyers in the Top Priced market are purchasing homes. The following numbers will be more accurate for the general Brentwood population:
September Sales
| # of homes Sold | List Price | Sales Price | Days on Market | Difference | |
| 2008 | 36 | $567,006 | $542,395 | 115 | -4% |
| 2009 | 34 | 525,936 | 494,328 | 110 | -6% |
October numbers were very similar to September for both years. This time we never put in the over 1 million dollar homes because it through the averages off too much. For example, in October, 3 homes sold for over $2,000,000 and none in the 1 million dollar range.
Brentwood TN Real Estate October Sales
| # of homes Sold | List Price | Sales Price | Days on Market | Difference | |
| 2008 | 36 | $562,205 | $537,597 | 106 | -4% |
| 2009 | 35 | 519,736 | 497,147 | 98 | -4% |
You can see that the two months are very similar indeed. Where sales were up in general in middle Tennessee by almost 23%, that did not include the upper end price market. The average sales price of the homes sold in Nashville during the months of September and October were under $200,000. As these homes continue to close, we are seeing the market in the $300,000's pick up.

Nashville TN Veterans Day Parade
This morning as I drove into the office I was thinking about going to see the Veterans Day Parade in either downtown Nashville or downtown Franklin.
As I drove along, one of my past clients pulled out of his neighborhood behind me. It was 7:15 and we were both headed to work. He didn't see me, but it gave me pause to think of him and his family. As I pondered giving them a call today to say hello. This song came on the radio. It made me think of this man even more because I remember us praying that he wouldn't be sent to Iraq for a 3rd tour of duty. He owns his own business and his oldest son was leaving for college. It was just so scary for his wife.
Today, let us remember those who have fought for us and for those who continue to fight for our freedom. Happy Veterans' Day!
The Nashville TN Veterans Day Parade starts at 11am on Broadway and 16th Avenue.
The Veterans Day parade in Franklin begins at 11am also in Historic Downtown Franklin

Nashville TN Real Estate finally picks up! October closings showed a 22.7% increase over October of 2008. This is the first time since October of 2006 that Nashville home sales have had an increase on a year-to-year comparison for any month. October reported 2145 closings for the month, up from the 1748 for October 2008.
Though the year to date closings are still down 18.4%, GNAR reported that inventory is finally down to an 8 month supply. November sales will probably also be up as so many first time home Buyers puchased with November closings trying to beat the original expiration date of November 30th for the tax credit.
Mike Nichols, the current president reported:
“This is undeniable evidence that the $8,000 tax credit has been meaningful in stimulating home sales. There is no question that many of these sales were initiated due to the tax credit and it is certainly our hope that, with the expansion and extension of this tax credit through next spring, we will continue to see positive sales in the area.”
“This is really positive news for the area economy beyond those directly involved in the home sales transactions. Many new homeowners purchase appliances, furniture, floor covering, landscaping, lighting and other household items that help make their new house become their new home.”
Nashville TN Real Estate pending sales at the time of this report were at 2106. That is a 29% increase over the 1504 units pending this time last year, October 2008. Read the full report about the Nashville TN Real Estate market.

Brentwood TN Realtors Enjoy Halloween and support local Charities!
Today the office of Prudential Woodmont Realty Group hosted their Chili Cookoff and Halloween Costume contest in the conference room at the Prudential Woodmont Building. Agents were invited to bring their best batch of Chili and to dress up in thier favorite Halloween costume. Some agents did one or the other, some did both!
Agents were asked to bring an item for the Ronald McDonald House. Items included:
Canned soups
Paper Towels
Canned meats like Ravioli, Beef Stew, ect. Cereal
Tuna Fish
Pop Tarts
Hotel soaps, lotions, shampoo
And/or the Tennessee Baptist Childrens' Home by bringing a box of Cereal. True to 
their nature they stepped up and did all of it. Both of these are charities that the company and agents regularly support.
The Ronald McDonald House is available to the families of patients of the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. They rely on donations to feed these families.
The Tennessee Baptist Children's Home gets most of their food from Second Harvest. They often do not have the types of cereals that the children like.
Denise Williams was the big winner for the Chili Contest. This blogger can tell you it was certainly her favorite!
All in all, it was a great day. Good food, fun friends and doing good things for the community.
The Childrens home received 24
LARGE boxes of cereal and were delighted!

Connie was an excellent asset in the sale of my home and the purchase of another. We found her to be ethical, honest and hard-working. She gave us a very good impression of the quality of people that her company employs.

I am writing you to extend my appreciation for the excellent service that was provided by Connie Harvey. Due to Connie's hard work, we recently sold our home in Brentwood. Prior to this sale, we had bought and sold real estate many times, both on our own and with the assistance of other Realtors. Thus, I believe I know the value of a Realtor is capable of providing. Connie Harvey was the first real estate professional I have used who inspired confidence and proved that confidence was well deserved.
My past experience had led me to believe Realtors fell into three groups. There were the ones who were good at getting to the point of writing a contract, the ones who were good at handling the details of the contract and closing, and there were the ones who weren't especially good at either. Connie proved to be one of those unique individuals capable of doing it all. She really worked at getting potential buyers in the door, knew how to structure the contract to avoid potential problems, and left nothing to chance in preparation for the closing. This work included making sure she understood our objectives in selling our home, truly understanding both the Nashville market and our neighborhood market, using special techniques to draw attention to the house, constantly seeking feedback from those viewing the house, providing regular and detailed updates to us on the feedback, working with potential buyers to make sure all concerns were addressed, working with the buyer's lenders to make sure no problems arose, working with the settlement attorney to make sure nothing was overlooked or left to the last minute and much more that I wasn't even aware of at the time. Beyond this, Connie proved to be a "people" person with an intuitive understanding of how to work with others. Whether I was buying or selling residential real estate in Nashville, I would give Connie all of my work.
Sincerely,
Mark Graham
You have been a God-send into our lives and we have enjoyed and appreciate each day of knowing you. Thank you for all your hard work and helping us achieve a goal, a blessing and a dream - our 1st home!

Connie had been sending postcards and we remembered her name from that. Her effort impressed us after having been badly burned by a failed relationship with a different realtor. Connie restored our faith. She came through 100%! She kept us informed every step of the way. She did everything she said she would do and was honest and straightforward in all respects. She worked hard to sell our house.
At the beginning, she promised she would be creative, and she followed through. She tried several inventive strategies to get our house sold. She also worked hard to bring the contract to closing. She's also just a pleasure to work with.
Connie is our realtor for life!
