About Dyer County, TN

A couple of weeks ago I blogged about a new HUD foreclosure at 2650 Jones Road. Here is a link to that Dyersburg HUD foreclosure post in case you missed it.

There is another fantastic Dyersburg HUD foreclosure buying opportunity at 710 Burges Chapel Road. Priced at only $125,000 this foreclosure should go fast. I personally sold this home to a couple back in 2006 and they got a FHA loan to purchase this home for a sales price of $165,000.

This is a beautiful home with ceramic tile, hardwood, fireplace, built in bookcases, a lake(not on property)right behind the house, big front porch, storm room inside the house, attached carport and a detached 3 car garage.

Let me remind everyone that I sell many of the HUD foreclosures here in my area and would love to assist anyone in purchasing a HUD foreclosure in the Dyersburg area.

This Dyersburg HUD foreclosure is a great opportunity for someone to get the home of their dreams. Here is a link to this Dyersburg HUD listing.

The Dyersburg Dyer county fair came to Dyersburg on labor day and extends through Saturday the 12th of September. The fair is always during the first "full" week of September.

There is so much to do and see at the fair. My daughters entered vegetables from our garden, crafts that they personally made and also cooked several desserts and entered them as well. I even entered some of my vegetables and we all got ribbons and money for our entries.

Last night we attended the magic show with Brian Staron who got his first start in magic by performing here in a talent competition. Brian is now employed at Disney World as a full time magician and entertainer.

Today, the school systems are out for fair day. I have been about three times this week and shot a few pictures with my blackberry and those are down below.

Dyersburg,Tennessee is a great place to live and raise a family!

We are seeing signs here in Dyersburg,Tennessee of a market recovery. Included in this recovery are jobs! Actually, many of the factories here in the Dyersburg area are calling back workers who were laid off over the last several months.

The steel mills just across the river from Dyersburg are also rehiring workers and also hiring new employees as well. I have two friends who just got hired at two of those mills.

Yes, the Dyersburg real estate market is definitely on the road back up and it is about time! Our phones here at Carousel Realty are really ringing and most of my agents are showing properties and writing contracts.

It sure is good to be selling real estate again and also good to see many laid off going back to work!

About a year ago, one of my tenants at Laurenwood apartments got disabled during an accident(slipped on ice while getting down from his tractor trailer truck). He lived upstairs at Laurenwood but after the accident he spent a couple of weeks in the hospital.

Since he had been a longtime renter we worked on an empty downstairs apartment to make it handicap accessible. About 1 month later a factory called looking for a Dyersburg handicap accessible apartment so we made the apartment across the hall handicap accessible. They had an employee just get injured at work who needed lots of rehab and a handicap accessible apartment.

Well that employee just moved out(after a few months) and we now have open a Dyersburg handicap accessible apartment. This unit is located in Laurenwood apartments which is located on Tickle Street just down the street from the hospital.

This apartment is available for short term or long term so give us a call at 731-285-2277.
