Dyersburg, TN

The news today stated that many are leaving states such as California because of the heavy tax burden placed on residents.

I would like to personally invite those people to the state of Tennessee because we have no state income tax and the cost of living is one of the best in the country. I would like to encourage you to move to west Tennessee and specifically to Dyersburg,Tennessee.

If you are looking for good schools, good doctors and hospital, accessibility to shopping, great churches and great people then look no further than Dyersburg,Tennessee. Our crime rate is low and community leaders are always looking for ways to improve our community.

Perhaps you are a Realtor looking for a place to move and get started again selling real estate. Look no further than Carousel Realty in Dyersburg,Tennessee. We are busy helping people like you relocate to our area and are always needing to hire more agents to help us.

It appears that the real estate market in Dyersburg,Tennessee is starting to turn. I pulled the MLS data that compared Jan 1 - July 9th 2008 to Jan 1 - July 9th 2009.

Single Family Homes

Quantity sold 09 (108) vs 08 (189)

Volume sold 09 ($11,311,050) vs 08 ($20,971,729)

Average sales price 09 ($104,731) vs 08 ($110,961) median sales price 09 ($89,450) vs 08 ($95,000)

Quantity active 09 (490 listings) vs 08 (644 listings)

From just these numbers the number of single family homes sales have dropped from last year by 81units

Average sales price has dropped from last year by6%

The number of active listings has also dropped.

From all appearances 09 has been pretty dismal (except for new listings) compared to 08. However, since we have been so busy the last few weeks, I pulled data for April 1 - July 9 09 verses same period in 08.

Average sales price 09 $108,936 vs 08 $108,853 median sales price 09 ($97,725) vs 08 ($93,000)

Most housing analysts judge the direction of the real estate market by the median sales price. The median sales price is the midpoint between the most expensive house and the least expensive house sold in an area during a specific time. The midpoint of theprice of homes-equal number of properties sold above the median price as the number of properties sold below the median price. The Median Sales Price is often used as an indicator of the strength and direction of the real estate market.

Looking at all of 09 verses all of 08 the median price dropped from $95,000 to $89,450

Looking at April 1, 2009 to July 9th, 2009 the median price has increased from $93,000 to $97,725

I really believe the Dyersburg real estate market has turned the corner and is headed back up!

For the last two or three weeks, all of the full time Realtors at Carousel Realty including myself have been working really hard with clients. It is almost like someone turned on the faucet.

I believe the Dyersburg market has turned and I know my broker, Mike Frazier has been saying the same thing. It has been really hard for me personally for the last year because of slow sales but my trainer Jackie Keeling and broker Mike Frazier have been training us very hard and telling us this day would come.

Every year, many people come to Dyersburg,Tennessee to celebrate the 4th of July holiday with family and friends. Some of these people plan to move "back" to Dyersburg and they look around for houses while visiting relatives here.

Last year, my websites, mikefrazier4homes.com, dyersburgrealestate.com, and dyersburgrealestate.info had record traffic from people looking to relocate to the Dyersburg area.

Many that come also jump on Google and search the term Dyersburg real estate or Dyersburg homes for sale. Not only do my websites come up near the top but many times one of my blogs like this one also pops up.

After what has seemed as an eternity(actually just a few months) the real estate market here in Dyersburg Tn has turned the corner. We are still seeing alot of foreclosures but we are also selling "regular sale" homes as well.

Because Dyersburg is a regional shopping and business area, many people are still relocating to the Dyersburg Tn area for jobs.

I am seeing the biggest influx of new employees coming in to work at our local hospital. I blogged earlier about a new cardiac wing opening up so many are coming in to work there. I have personally worked with several doctors coming to Dyersburg.

Some of the industries here are rotating employees out and others in. NSK Power Steering Systems is bringing in an additional 50 jobs.

All of my "full time" agents are very busy now showing and selling property. If you are relocating to the Dyersburg area, now is a great time to purchase a home. Home prices are lower than they have been in a few years. Some are relocating here expecting to find houses to lease and at this time those are so hard to locate. We do have temporary and long term housing available in the form of 2 bedroom apts located at Twin Oaks apartments at 900 East Tickle Street and also Laurenwood apartments located at 1013 East Tickle street. Both sets of apartments are just down the street from the hospital.

Because Dyersburg did not experience the double digit gains in real estate prices over the last couple of years, we also did not experience the double digit declines in home prices.

Dyersburg,Tn is a great place to live and to work and we look forward to you joining us here in Dyersburg!
