About Johnson City's Briarwood

These neighborhoods share a very convenient location, a quiet, well-developed area just off Mountain View, near State of Franklin and I-26, but not too near. Typically, depending on their specific needs, buyers want to see what’s available in all of them.

A large traditional colonial with five bedrooms and four bathrooms for $300,000 is my new listing in the neighborhood. It has great light and a flexible plan with a master on each level. There's more information about 3305 BONDWOOD CIRCLE, in BRIARWOOD, on my website.

Others on the market in that area now are a one-level contemporary, a couple of other colonials not quite as “classic” as this one but with good features, and a Tudor with four bedrooms, 2.5 baths. There also a very large, dramatic contemporary on a beautiful lot - more expensive than most in the neighborhood but significantly different. I know of a couple of others that may be coming on the market soon – one is a large Victorian.

Because these are SUCH DESIRABLE NEIGHBORHOODS, people typically stay until there’s a special need that sends them elsewhere – relocation, down-sizing, etc. Neighbors see Towne Acres Elementary as one of the desirable things that drew them there. There’s a good mix of young families, retired folks, professionals. It’s a pleasant neighborhood to walk in – a good way to size up any area and a chance to meet some friendly folks.

There’s an interesting mix of home styles and sizes, usually within the range of $250,000 to $400,000, with some larger ones a good bit more expensive.

I’ve had the pleasure of marketing some of these and helping buyers with several homesin the neighborhoods and have shown just about all of them.

Having followed these subdivisions for years, I can show you a detailed picture of the market over the last few years, in case you ‘re thinking of making a move or know someone who might be interested in this area.

BRIARWOOD, BERKSHIRE AND PINE TIMBERS in Johnson City, TN are close together and typically people want to see what is available in all three, as well probably as in ROUNDTREE, if they want the convenience of being just the right distance from the I-26 corridor for an easy commute, and near shopping, restaurants, and other amenities.

People exclaim about the mountain views. I especially enjoy showing in those neighborhoods because I can see my house on the other side of State of Franklin from many intersections and a few back yards.

At this time, there is less to choose from on MLS than usual, - one in BRIARWOOD and one in PINE TIMBERS, none in BERKSHIRE. As usual, however, I keep track of those that have gone off the market for one reason or another, since often those sellers still would like to sell. My most recent sale in Briarwood was one of those. There are several reasons why properties in these neighborhoods, or others, might no longer be in MLS:

* Price was wrong
* Marketing wasn't thorough, attractive, or consistent
* Showing was difficult - pets, babies, etc.
* Property needed upgrading or de-cluttering
* Just bad luck or bad timing
* Sellers tried to do it themselves and just gave up.

I have several friends in these neighborhoods and I happen to know of two properties that are coming on the market shortly that you'll want to know about if you like this area - and you will when you see it.

Having followed BRIARWOOD, BERKSHIRE, PINE TIMBERS AND ROUNDTREE for years, I have a detailed history that will help buyers and sellers make informed choices. I'll save Roundtree for another day - there are several on the market there and a lot to talk about.

Call me for information about price ranges, amenities, recent sales, what's available now and what may be available very soon.
