Not surprisingly it looks like the real estate transfers in Knoxville and Farragut Tennessee were down a bit this past week. I counted 135 with the usual high numbers in the lower price ranges as it’s been all of 2009 I’m very excited for 2010 to begin (which is will in only 4 more days) and see what a new year holds for us. On one hand interest rates remain very, very low which makes buying attractive. But on the other hand unemployment remains higher than usual in Tennessee although we’re faring better than many other areas. I believe I’m predicting a modest improvement in the volume of sales with prices still stagnant to downward. A good time to buy if you’re thinking about that. For sellers you have to price your houses competitively and be prepared to deal if you want to sell, you’... 12/28/2009

My favorite virtual tour provider, VisualTour.com has a new feature that lets you create a YouTube video from your virtual tour and then uploads it to YouTube. While I was putting some extra photos on a listing today I had a thought. I wondered if it would be possible to download the Visual Tour video from YourTube as an MPEG file and then upload that same file to Realtor.com and put a video on your listing along with the virtual tour and still photos. I'm happy to report it worked like the proverbial charm and now my Realtor.com listings can be enhanced with video in addition to the other enhancements you can provide for your listings. Here's the end result.   07/21/2009

.......................I want to thank you for inviting me over to look at your house and talk with you about selling it.   Before I get started talking about what I'm going to be doing to get your house sold as quickly as possible, let's take just a few minutes to talk about the things I'm not going to be doing and why I'm not going to be doing them.   First and foremost; don't pick up your daily newspaper and start looking for a 3 line ad that looks just like everyone Else's 3 line ad and also, don't be looking for a small color photo in the glossy, color magazines that you pick up at the bank or grocery because you won't be in them either.     The reason is simple; print ads are not as effective, both from a cost standpoint and being effective. According to a National Association of ... 06/23/2009

The just ended week of February 15th saw a return to triple digits for Knoxville and Knox County, Tennessee real estate transfers. The Register of Deeds office recorded 138 transfers during that week. Here's a breakdown by price ranges.   All the Knoxville area Realtors I’ve been talking with during this past week are saying their showing activity is up and lots of traffic coming through Sunday open houses and phones ringing in their offices. I was at a closing for a sale last Thursday on a home built by Saddlebrook Homes and the site agent said they had 8 more closings by the end of February. Here’s what you can buy in Knoxville today in the various price ranges. In the Northshore Drive/Choto area this lakefront beauty can be yours for $2,300,000 or so.     Read more of the latest real... 02/17/2009

Inman news headlines today: "California home sales drop 28% in August""Resale single-family median home prices fell in 11 of 20 regions in California while sales dropped 27.8 percent in August compared to the same month last year, the California Association of Realtors trade group reported this week." "Home purchases decline last week" "Applications for home-purchase loans dropped significantly last week as long-term interest rates climbed higher, the Mortgage Bankers Association reported today."Do you think someone interested in maybe buying a house would see this as a bad sign? ;-)Granted times are tough in some areas. Fortunately they are certainly not tough in all areas. For instance, in my town of Knoxville, Tennessee our resale single-family median home price actually rose 6.6% in... 09/26/2007
