One advantage of living in Franklin Tn is the abundance of city parks surrounding the city. My neighborhood backs up to the eastern Battlefield that has been purchased by to city to protect it from being developed. It was a golf course for years and the city kept some of the cart paths that are now used as walking trails. I walk my dog Rusty every morning usually as the sun in coming up and the views are usually amazing. For those of you who sleep in, I understand. But wow what you are missing. information on this page is based on information on Nashville real estate per the Nashville Multiple Listing Services, Inc. and is deemed reliable but, not guaranteed.

Gray Fox Realty is privileged to get to call downtown Franklin, TN home in a quaint 1912 cottage they is referred to as the World Headquarters.   Gray Fox Realty was the brain-child of Mike Grumbles and Joey McCloskey at the end of 2016 with operations beginning in early 2017.   The company is different in that it has a give back attitude and that is exemplified in the flat fee full service model without any upselling.  The typical GFR client  saves $16,000 in real estate commission when compared to a 6% listing agreement.   Commissions are negotiable, but why force your friends, family, and neighbors to negotiate for a great service at a great price.  The other thing that sets the company apart from most brokerages (and we mean almost all of them) is the centralized control of marketin... 02/04/2023

I get this question a lot lately, are home prices starting to come down in Franklin. It's a good question, and the data seems to indicate that maybe, but very slowly. Franklin home prices are still considerably higher than they were at this time last year with the median sales price up 16% year over year. However, the number of homes sold for July of 2021 was 260, compared to just 155 this year, a reduction of 41%.  For the first time in many months, we have more homes available to sell that we sold in the previous month. Usually when this happens we start to see price reductions and competition for buyers instead of multiple offers for every home. The reason for the change is much higher interest rates compared to last year. The Federal Reserve Bank has decided that we need a recession... 08/07/2022

 You only get one chance to make a first impression so make sure your home is staged so it leaves buyers impressed. When selling your home, the first impression is everything! Some simple ways to get it market-ready are staging and de-personalizing. This means removing personal items like photos of family members or aunt Edna's 100 piece doll collection that might turn off potential buyers (or just creep them out). While you may love these things, they make it difficult for buyers to see them themselves in their potential new home and will distract them from all of your homes features. When you decide to put your home on the market, it will no longer feel like "your" home. You must detach emotionally from your belongings and make sure they don't distract buyers by allowing them to imagi... 09/04/2021
