Check out the last Chattanooga real estate market report I did for July. My overall impression: meh. Slight decrease in the absorption rate (number of months to sell current homes for sale) from the top to the bottom. Nothing startling either way. I'd hoped to see a pretty big recovery from last month's abysmal disappointing numbers. I didn't. Better luck next month...
No children were harmed in the making of this video (not even mine).
This week's headliner is the Carolina Chocolate Drops. I heard a pretty extensive interview with them on NPR a couple of months ago so I was pretty jazzed to see their name come up as this week's act.
The music that's mostly strongly identified with Appalachia seems to be the preserve of white folks (Deliverance anyone?) even thought it's actually not, so it's nice to hear an African American interpretation.
Click for more information about the performance this week at Nighfall. Or learn more about the Carolina Chocolate Drops themselves. They'll be taking the stage at 8pm.
Yeah, yeah, I know. It's September for Pete's sake, Jules (by the way, how did it get to be September already?). That just means you have the August report to look forward to that much sooner!
Everything you see here is reliable but not guaranteed. I figure all these myself and I am, after all, only human.
These numbers cover everything within the 37343 ZIP code as reported to the Chattanooga MLS.

The bright spot here for Hixson sales numbers is in that $200-400k range. In most areas, the absorption rate (months to sell a home at the current sales pace) in that price range is similar to or even a LOT higher than the $100-200k range. But in Hixson - at least for now - it's almost half. Part of that is because of the lower level of inventory, 93 homes for sale compared to 171 but I suspect it's also a reflection of the fact that people are willing to spend a little more to buy a house in Hixson.

Glendon Place is one of those Chattanooga neighborhoods that you drive by all the time (it's just off Germantown so if you live points east & work downtown there's a good chance you pass it every day) but might not notice.
Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly charming whizzing by at 45 but you don't really appreciate it unless you make the turn and take a little Sunday drive through its winding streets.
Brainerd gets a bad rap sometimes as a not-so-happening place to live but it really has a lot to offer. Leafy streets plus good proximity to I-24 and downtown as well as newer shopping areas like Hamilton Place. What's not to love?
Especially when you've got A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E houses like these.
Make no mistake, some of these are older homes that probably need some updating and sweat equity, but really, what would you give to live in a house this cute?
Check out Chattanooga homes for sale in Glendon Place. And don't be surprised if there isn't much. This isn't a big place and when something comes on the market, well, have you SEEN these houses?

My job isn't to sell you a house. It's to help you buy the house that works best for you and your family.
My real estate career began in 1984 when my dad started paying me 50¢ each to enter listings in the MLS on those newfangled things they called computers. While I no longer work for 50¢ at a time -usually- and even though I did wander in the "what am I going to do with my life" wilderness for a while, I never lost my love for real estate.
I bought my first house in 1995 at the tender age of 22 (don't even think about doing the math) and spent several months remodeling it before moving in. From that experience I learned that: 1. things always take longer than you think and b.you should never sand your wood floors perpendicular to the grain.
And so began my love affair with buying and selling and sanding. I've bought and renovated several houses - some of them old, some of them just ugly. Along the way I've learned lots about what you want, what you don't want and what you should run screaming from. I'm even getting better at figuring out how long it's going to take to fix stuff (although it's still much more art than science).
I'm licensed to sell real estate in Tennessee & Georgia. I specialize in buyer's representation & I prefer helping people find the perfect historic wreck home although I'm happy to help with just about anything that will pay the bills. I like to sleep well at night so you can trust me to give you an honest opinion about the value and condition of what you are looking to buy or sell. I have, however, been known to keep my opinions to myself when a client exclaims rapturously over the berber carpet, hunter green color scheme and eagle themed wall mural.
Since my office is the listing office for HUD in southeast TN, I also know a little more than the average bear about guiding a client through buying a HUD house.
Contact me for more information about buying or selling in Chattanooga as well as the rest of Hamilton County: Ooltewah, Collegdale, East Ridge, Lookout Mountain, Signal Mountain, Soddy Daisy, Hixson & Middle Valley or northwest Georgia: Fort Oglethorpe, Rossville, Ringgold, Chickamauga & Lafayette.

Julia, I just wanted to thank you for all of your help in getting a house for Heath. I know you will say you were just doing your job, but I feel like you went beyond of what was required for that. We really appreciate everything you did. Thanks again, Roland A
