The Great Smoky Mountains Real Estate Market Sees Steady Growth Through February 2016

Posted by Gatlin on March 3, 2016

For over the last few months, the local & national real estate markets have reflected a gradual and steady growth in several key real estate market categories. As we look at the statistics for the Great Smoky Mountains real estate market through February of 2016 and the starting into the new year of 2016 itself, we will see that such local & national trends, particularly in the Great Smoky Mountains real estate market, continue to reflect these same trends of gradual growth that we also see nationally, and have seen for some time now. Let’s now see what the numbers have to say for February of 2016, as compared to those one year ago, in February of 2015.

In the category of Residences Sold, we see that in comparing February of 2016 to that of February of 2015, the number of residences sold increased by 16% in terms of homes being sold, as there were 229 more homes that were sold as of the end of February of 2016, as opposed to February of 2015. This figure shows a continued robust growth through February 2016, as opposed to one year ago, and is largely in line with the growth rate in this very same category that we have for at least the last couple of months, as well. We will see if this trend continues with any future statistics in this category, but it does show a continued strong trend for residential sales on the whole, as well as continued growth.

In the category of Residential Dollar Volume from February of 2016, as opposed to February of 2015, we see an increase of 22% in terms of dollar volume through February of 2016, as compared to February of 2015, remaining constant from last month in this same category. This category does show a continued high percentage from year-to-year, showing that there is continued, strong growth in this category, as compared to that of 2015 for the same month, with this statistic showing one of the largest increases in this category over the last few months. This continues to show a continued local, as well as national, trend of relatively steady, stable, and even robust growth in terms of this category, as well, and also continues to reflect the consistently higher home prices that have been taking place for over the last eighteen months now on a national scale.

There is also continued good news for sellers in the Average Sold Price Category. For February of 2016, as compared to that of February of 2015, average sold prices show an increase of 5%, which continues to show steady and consistent strength in this category on average, reflecting a stronger local market in this category, albeit being down a bit from the previous month in this category. As confidence continues to grow in both the local and national markets, we foresee that this relatively steady and upward trend of higher home prices will likely continue for at least the short-term horizon, if not longer.

In addition, available homes on the market are continuing to show a trend of steady decreases, which has also occurred over the last several months, as well. Through February of 2016, as opposed to February of 2015, the number of available homes did decline by 6%, or reflecting a numerical decrease of 290 homes in terms of available inventory. This decline continues to show a marked decrease in terms of available inventory in the local market, and still reflects a continued decline in available inventory on the whole here in the local market, which has been occurring now for the last several months. This is largely in line with the latest national real estate trends, which also shows a gradual decline in available home inventory as a whole. This may foretell that with declining inventory, the local market is showing movement towards more people wanting to buy the available properties currently in the local market, and that with higher home prices, more people may feel a greater sense of confidence in placing their homes for sale on the market, along with greater interest in buying what inventory is currently available, as well. We will keep watching to see if this particular trend continues, and see what it does for the real estate market as a whole, both here locally, as well as nationally.

As the markets continue these gradual trends of growth locally and nationally, these statistics are largely expected to remain largely steady at least for the short-term, largely continuing the same continued gradual, but steady, growth that has been seen now for over the last few months, and is largely expected to continue into 2016. Mortgage rates still remain at historically low rates, and there are still plenty of housing options to choose from, especially in the Great Smoky Mountains real estate market.

The Great Smoky Mountains Real Estate Market Continues its Gradual Growth to Start 2016

Posted by Gatlin on February 4, 2016

Posted by Gatlin on January 14, 2016

As we enter into January of the new year, you probably have noticed one of more famous mountains here in the Smokies, while visiting our area, namely that of Mount LeConte, which is actually the 3rd highest elevation peak in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, at 6,593 ft in height. In addition, did you know that there is a lodge at the top of Mount LeConte? Actually, there is – it is LeConte Lodge, located high atop Mount LeConte, and offers a place of amazing beauty, quiet simplicity, & much more for hikers and visitors alike. You can learn more about the goings on of LeConte Lodge by going to their website, which can also give you some good information about Mount LeConte, as well, including the latest weather conditions.

The Great Smoky Mountains Real Estate Market Continues Steady Growth Through The End of 2015

Posted by Gatlin on January 7, 2016

For over the last few months, the local & national real estate markets have reflected a gradual and steady growth in several key real estate market categories. As we look at the statistics for the Great Smoky Mountains real estate market through December of 2015 and the end of 2015 itself, we will see that such local & national trends, particularly in the Great Smoky Mountains real estate market, continue to reflect these very same trends of gradual growth that we also see nationally, and have seen for some time now. Let’s now see what the numbers have to say for December of 2015, as compared to those one year ago, in December of 2014.

In the category of Residences Sold, we see that in comparing December of 2015 to that of December of 2014, the number of residences sold increased by 17% in terms of homes being sold, as there were 250 more homes that were sold as of the end of December of 2015, as opposed to December of 2014. This figure shows a very robust growth through December 2015, as opposed to one year ago, and is in line with the growth rate in this very same category for last month, as well. We will see if this trend continues with future statistics in this category, but it does show a strong result for residential sales on the whole, as well as continued growth.

In the category of Residential Dollar Volume from December of 2015, as opposed to December of 2014, we see an increase of 24% in terms of dollar volume through December of 2015, as compared to December of 2014. This category does show a continued high percentage from year-to-year, showing that there is continued, strong growth in this category, as compared to that of 2014 for the same month, with this statistic showing one of the largest increases, if not the largest, in this category to date. This continues to show a continued local, as well as national, trend of relatively steady, stable, and even robust growth in terms of this category, as well, and also continues to reflect the consistently higher home prices that have been taking place for over the last eighteen months now on a national scale.

There is also continued good news for sellers in the Average Sold Price Category. For December of 2015, as compared to that of December of 2014, average sold prices show an increase of 6%, which continues to show steady and consistent strength in this category on average, as well as remaining constant from that of last month, reflecting a stronger local market in this category. As confidence continues to grow in both the local and national markets, we foresee that this relatively steady and upward trend of higher home prices will likely continue for at least the short-term horizon, if not longer.

In addition, available homes on the market are continuing to show a trend of steady decreases, which has also occurred over the last several months, as well. Through December of 2015, as opposed to December of 2014, the number of available homes did decline by 4%, or reflecting a numerical decrease of 195 homes in terms of available inventory. This decline continues to show a marked decrease in terms of available inventory in the local market, while not as steep as prior months, and still reflects a continued decline in available inventory on the whole here in the local market, which has been occurring now for the last several months. This is largely in line with the latest national real estate trends, which also shows a gradual decline in available home inventory as a whole. This may foretell that with declining inventory, the local market is showing movement towards more people wanting to buy the available properties currently in the local market, and that with higher home prices, more people may feel a greater sense of confidence in placing their homes for sale on the market, along with greater interest in buying what inventory is currently available, as well. We will keep watching to see if this particular trend continues, and see what it does for the real estate market as a whole, both here locally, as well as nationally.

As the markets continue these gradual trends of growth locally and nationally, these statistics are largely expected to remain largely steady at least for the short-term, largely continuing the same continued gradual, but steady, growth that has been seen now for over the last few months, and is largely expected to continue into the new year of 2016. Mortgage rates still remain at historically low rates, and there are still plenty of housing options to choose from, especially in the Great Smoky Mountains real estate market.
