The Great Smoky Mountains Real Estate Market Continues to Grow Steadily Through November 2015

Posted by Gatlin on December 3, 2015

For over the last eighteen months or so, 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 November of 2015, 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 November of 2015, as compared to those one year ago, in November of 2014.

In the category of Residences Sold, we see that in comparing November of 2015 to that of November of 2014, the number of residences sold increased by 16% in terms of homes being sold, as there were 230 more homes that were sold as of the end of November of 2015, as opposed to November of 2014. This figure shows a very robust growth through November 2015, as opposed to one year ago, and does show a near doubling of last month’s rate in this same category. 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 November of 2015, as opposed to November of 2014, we see an increase of 23% in terms of dollar volume through November of 2015, as compared to November 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 November of 2015, as compared to that of November of 2014, average sold prices show an increase of 6%, which continues to show steady and consistent strength in this category on average, 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 November of 2015, as opposed to November of 2014, the number of available homes did decline by 5%, or reflecting a numerical decrease of 242 homes in terms of available inventory. This decline shows 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 through the remainder of 2015, along with possibly into 2016, as well. 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.

Solid Real Estate Growth Predicted Through The Year 2017 Nationwide

Posted by Gatlin on November 19, 2015

As we look ahead to the coming years of 2016 and 2017 in the national real estate market, a recent forecast by the Urban Land Institute states that the real estate industry will remain sustainable and solid through the year 2017. There are many signs pointing to this kind of solid, sustained growth, including a projected net job growth of 2.9 million people per year over the next 2 years, as well as having the interest rates for 10-year Treasury notes average at or around 3%, despite any increases, and will remain lower than the long-term average of 4.1%, and other related factors, all pointing to a sustained growth through 2017 for the real estate market, barring any unforeseen downturns, crises, or other events that could change such a forecast. Very encouraging news, for sure, and could bode well heading into the new year for national real estate on the whole.

With forecasts like this that show a continued growth in real estate nationally, along with still historically low interest rates, now is a great time to see what the Great Smoky Mountain real estate market can do for you today.

The Great Smoky Mountains Real Estate Market Remains Steady Through October 2015

Posted by Gatlin on November 5, 2015

For over the last eighteen months or so, 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 October of 2015, 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 October of 2015, as compared to those one year ago, in October of 2014.

In the category of Residences Sold, we see that in comparing October of 2015 to that of October of 2014, the number of residences sold increased by 7% in terms of homes being sold, as there were 84 more homes that were sold as of the end of October of 2015, as opposed to October of 2014. This figure, while not as robust as the previous month in this category, still represents a continued upward trend for residential sales, as compared to a year ago, in 2014 for the same month. On the whole, this shows continued and sustained strength in this category for the local market.

In the category of Residential Dollar Volume from October of 2015, as opposed to October of 2014, we see an increase of 14% in terms of dollar volume through October of 2015, as compared to October 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. 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 October of 2015, as compared to that of October of 2014, average sold prices show an increase of 7%, which continues to show steady and consistent strength in this category on average, 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 October of 2015, as opposed to October of 2014, the number of available homes did decline by 9%, or reflecting a numerical decrease of 414 homes in terms of available inventory. This decline shows a marked decrease in terms of available inventory in the local market, and represents one of the largest declines in this category to date, but still generally 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 beginning to show some possible movement towards more people possibly wanting to buy the many available properties currently in the local market, and that with higher home prices, more people may start to 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 continue 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 through the remainder of 2015.

US Housing Starts Nationwide Recently Increased by 6.5% in September 2015

Posted by Gatlin on October 22, 2015

Some very encouraging new data regarding housing starts throughout the United States was released by the U.S. Commerce Department this week. For this past month of September 2015, U.S. housing starts actually increased by 6.5%, up to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 1.21 million units, which was actually higher than anticipated (1.15 million units) and is the sixth-straight month in which housing starts remained over 1 million units, pointing to a potential sustainable housing recovery nationwide. Housing also has a broad impact on the economy, with rising home prices increasing overall household incomes and also supporting greater consumer spending as a whole. In the South alone, housing starts increased by 0.6%, which rose overall housing starts in the region to its highest level since October 2007. With great apparent confidence in term of housing starts throughout the U.S., this could be a further sign of a recovering housing market nationwide, and will be certainly worth watching to see if this overall upward trend will continue, along with its impacts for the housing sector as a whole.

With encouraging trends like those of increased housing starts throughout the country, now is a great time to see what the Great Smoky Mountains can do for you and your home ownership needs.

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

Posted by Gatlin on October 8, 2015

For over the last eighteen months or so, 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 September of 2015, 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 September of 2015, as compared to those one year ago, in September of 2014.

In the category of Residences Sold, we see that in comparing September of 2015 to that of September of 2014, the number of residences sold increased by 15% in terms of homes being sold, as there were 215 more homes that were sold as of the end of September of 2015, as opposed to September of 2014. This figure is actually one of the largest, if not the largest, increase in sales seen so far this year, when comparing a month in this year (2015), as opposed to the previous year (2014) in the same calendar month. Quite an increase, for sure, when comparing September 2015, to that of the year before, in September 2014 – all of which shows a continued strength in this particular real estate category.

In the category of Residential Dollar Volume from September of 2015, as opposed to September of 2014, we see an increase of 22% in terms of dollar volume through September of 2015, as compared to September of 2014. This category does show a very high percentage from year-to-year, showing that there is continued, strong growth in this category, along with reflecting the strongest growth year-to-year so far to date in 2015, as compared to that of 2014. 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 September of 2015, as compared to that of September of 2014, average sold prices show an increase of 6%, which continues to show steady and consistent strength in this category on average, reflecting a stronger local market in this category, despite a slight decline in this category from that of the previous month. As confidence continues to grow in both the local and national markets, we foresee that this relatively steady 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 September of 2015, as opposed to September of 2014, the number of available homes did decline by 4%, or reflecting a numerical decrease of 199 homes in terms of available inventory. This decline is not as steep as the previous month, but 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 beginning to show some possible movement towards more people possibly wanting to buy the many available properties currently in the local market, and that with higher home prices, more people may start to feel a greater sense of confidence in placing their homes for sale on the market. We will continue 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 through the remainder of 2015. 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.
