Oak Ridge Market Study Third Quarter 2008

Here are the numbers for the third quarter 2008 in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The number of houses sold decreased by 11%, but it was a slight increase over the first quarter. The average sale price has actually increased each quarter this year, and the average days on market have reduced. The houses with 2000-2499, 3 bedroom, 2+ baths have been the most difficult to sell this year. In the third quarter, however, there was a drop in the price of those houses, and they sold quicker. The three best selling house sizes are:

1000-1499 sq. ft., 3 bedroom, one bath, but the price of those houses have dropped about 3%
1500-1999 sq. ft., 3 bedroom, two bath,but the price dropped 15% over the 2nd quarter
3000-3999 square foot house, those houses saw a 17.5% increase in average sale price

Zaa at the Oak Ridge Tennessee Farmer's Market

We had the best time this Saturday at the Oak Ridge, Tennessee Farmer's Market. Besides buying the freshest area grown corn, tomatoes, peppers, and squash, we got to eat lunch there, thanks to Zaa.

Zaa is a professional chef who cooks omelets and crepes for breakfast and pasta for lunch using foods bought at the farmer's market. He does bring a few prepared foods, unbelievably delicious brownies, chocolate cake, sweet potato pie, and the best deviled eggs you've ever eaten in your life. He treats his customers like royalty and doesn't charge anything, but he does take tips. I'm pretty sure after you meet him and eat his food, you will want to leave him a big tip!

He has quite an exciting story to tell about his life. You must ask him. He was present after Katrina. And he was a chef in a Dallas hotel where he cooked for presidents, The Rolling Stones, and many other famous people.

Now he is a caterer in the area. For more information on how to contact Zaa, send me an email: Cathy@CathyGlass.com

My family spent many afternoons and Saturday mornings on the North Ridge Trail when my daughters were young. We saw fantastic mountain views, identified wildflowers, watched creek life. hiked, picnicked, climbed rocks, and even saw evidence of historical homesites. What great memories we have of the North Ridge Trail.

The North Ridge Trail in Oak Ridge, Tennessee is a great 7.5 mile hike that goes most of the length of Oak Ridge. There are several accesses to the trail, Endicot Lane, Georgia Avenue, Delaware Avenue, Orchard Lane, Walker Lane, Wedgewood Roda, Illinois Avenue at W. Outer Drive, and W. Outer Drive (west of No. 852). You can find out the lengths and difficulties from http://www.orrecparks.org/

Hikers can also let maintenance people know about problems on the trail at http://www.tcwp.org/northridgetrail.shtml
