Nashville TN Real Estate - 2009 Spring Market Report for Holt Woods

Nashville TN Real Estate - 2009 Spring Market Report for Holt Woods

Holt Woods Nashville TN Real Estate

Sellers enjoyed somewhat positive results for the spring of 2009. Though the number of closings was down close to 30%, sales have increased in the past 3 months and promise better numbers for the fall. The 2009 sales shown here have an Average Sales Price higher than that of a year ago though the actual Price per Square Foot was down. The biggest difference that I see is that the difference between the asking price and the sales price has increased. This is mostly due to the fact that it's a strong Buyers market and Sellers know that they can either take a little less than they were hoping or just stay on the market.

Though the number of sales is down, you can see that the prices are all over the board, as they have always been in this neighborhood. The Condition of the property and the location in the neighborhood dictates the price the Buyer is willing to pay. With many homes to choose from, those that are in the best condition will continue to sell first.

With the $8000 First time HomeBuyers Tax Credit Incentive available on sales through November, Buyers are out looking and buying real estate.

Finding Blessings in Unexpected Places - Drinking From a Saucer

Many of you know - those that have read my blog for some time, that

Aunt Margaret

my Great Aunt Margaret passed away in February. She was 100 years old and I did a blog about her.

The day before the funeral, I was told that I was a Co - Executor for her estate. For the past 4 Months I have had the pleasure and duty to go through her things to settle her estate.

For those of you who have ever done this, it's a daunting task. She lived in a 100 year old farm house on 89 acres in Fayetteville TN.

Aunt Margaret

You can imagine the work of going through YEARS of stuff. She kept every birthday card she ever received. We opened every card and letter to make sure we didn't miss anything. We've found some money but we've also found some treasures.

Sometimes I bring a box of letters home to go through them when I'm not tired. Just the other day, this poem fell out of a book that I was looking at.

It seems that We are all living is some kind of turmoil right now. Read this. It will put a smile on your face.

Drinking from a Saucer

I’ve never made a fortune

And it’s probably too late now.

But I don’t worry about that much.

I’m happy anyhow.

As I go along life’s journey

I’m reaping better than I sowed.

I’m drinking from my saucer

Cause my cup has overflowed.

Ain’t got a lot of riches.

Sometimes the goings rough.

But I got folks that love me.

That makes me rich enough.

I just thank God for His blessings

And the mercy He bestowed.

I’m drinking from my saucer

Cause my cup has overflowed.

And I remember times when things went wrong

And my faith got a little thin.

But then all at once the dark clouds broke

And the old sun broke through again.

So Lord, help me not to gripe

About the tough rows I have hoed.

I’m drinking from my saucer

Cause my cup has overflowed.

And if God gives the strength and courage

When the way gets steep and rough,

I won’t ask for other blessings.

I’m already blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy

To help another bear his load.

Then I’ll keep drinking from my saucer

Cause my cup has overflowed.

Author unknown

God Bless!

Franklin TN Real Estate - Chestnut Bend Spring 2009 Market Report

Franklin TN Real Estate - Chestnut Bend Spring 2009 Market Report

Chestnut Bend

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.
