Starting Into 2015, The Great Smoky Mountains Real Estate Market Continues its Gradual Growth

Posted by Gatlin on February 5, 2015

For over the last year or so, the local & national real estate markets have reflected a largely gradual, but steady, growth in several key real estate market categories. As we look at the statistics for the Great Smoky Mountains real estate market through January 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, but steady, growth that we also see nationally, and have seen for some time now. Let’s now see what the numbers have to say for January of 2015, as compared to those one year ago, in January of 2014, to start the new year.

In the category of Residences Sold, we see that in comparing January of 2015 to that of January of 2014, the number of residences sold actually increased slightly by 2% in terms of homes being sold, as there were 22 more homes that were sold as of the end of January of 2015, as opposed to January of 2014. This actually shows a real reversal from the last couple of months, when Residences Sold showed a slight decline each month, as we ended 2014. This may indicate a potential start of growth in home sales, though it is too early to say if this will continue. However, this does pose a good start to 2015, at least initially, regarding Residences Sold.

In the category of Residential Dollar Volume from January of 2015, as opposed to January of 2014, we see an increase of 10% in terms of dollar volume through January of 2015, as compared to January of 2014, which is actually a 2% increase from that of December of 2014’s statistics, and continues to reflect a general upward trend in terms of Residential Dollar Volume, which has been in evidence for at least the last few months, if not longer. This shows a continued local, as well as national, trend of relatively steady growth in terms of this category, continuing to reflect the higher home prices that have been taking place for over a year or so now on a national scale.

There is also continued good news for sellers in the Average Sold Price Category. For January of 2015, as compared to that of January of 2014, average sold prices show an increase of 8%, which actually is a slight decline from December of 2014 (showed a 9% increase), but still shows an increase nonetheless. As confidence continues to slowly 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, into the new year.

In addition, available homes on the market are continuing to show a slight decrease, which has also occurred over the last several months, as well. Through January of 2015, as opposed to January of 2014, the number of available homes did decline by 3%, or reflects a decrease of 146 homes in terms of available inventory, which is still one of the largest declines of available inventory seen in at least the last couple of months in the local Great Smoky Mountains real estate market. This is still largely in line with the latest national real estate trends, which also shows a 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 wanting to buy the many available properties currently on the market, and with higher home prices, more people are feeling a greater sense of confidence in placing their homes for sale on the market. We will continue watching to see if this particular trend continue, and see what it does for the real estate market as a whole, both here locally, as well as nationally, into the new year.

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 expected to continue into this new year. 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.

First-Time Home Buyers Could Have Better Prospects in 2015

Posted by Gatlin on January 29, 2015

According to a recent article by Realtor.com, first-time home buyers could have some good news for 2015. One key factor for this improved outlook centers on mortgage rates still remaining at historically-low levels, along with recent improvement in employment prospects for younger people, particularly in the 25-34 age demographic. In addition, there have also been recent to the FHA annual mortgage insurance premium rate, with it being lowered from 1.35% to 0.85%. What this means is that first-time home buyers potentially could afford to buy a home sooner than expected, and that there may be more willingness for them to do so. Very encouraging trends, to be sure, and are definitely worth watching throughout the course of the year. In addition, you can also learn about a new program being offered by the Tennessee Housing Development Agency regarding first-time home buyers, which may allow up to 100% possible financing in certain situations.

With improving trends for potential first-time home buyers nationally, coupled with continued historically-low interest rates, now is a great time to see what the Great Smoky Mountains can do for you.

Recent Housing Data from Trulia’s Housing Barometer for 2014 Shows Improvement Across The Board

Posted by Gatlin on January 15, 2015

In the past year of 2014, and as we go into the new year of 2015, we have seen several indicators in the national real estate market that shows signs of an overall improving market as a whole. Now, recent housing indicator data from Trulia.com’s Housing Barometer seems to support such improvement, showing that all five of their indicators, namely existing home sales (excluding distressed sales), home-price levels relative to fundamentals, delinquency plus foreclosure rate, new construction starts, & the employment rate for people aged 25-34 (a key demographic in terms of measuring potential first-time home buyers and household formation), are steadily up from what they were a year prior to last year, 2013. Existing home sales showed an increase of 73% in 2013 up to 82% in 2014, home-price levels increased from 66% in 2013 to 82% in 2014, delinquency plus foreclosure rate levels went from 59% in 2013 to 76% in 2014, new construction starts went from 46% in 2013 to 53% in 2014, & the employment for 25-34 year olds went from 26% in 2013 to 46% in 2014. All of these indicators appear to a return to a more normal real estate market nationally, as we head into 2015. Very encouraging and optimistic new, to be sure, and certainly bears watching into the new year.

With these very encouraging trends nationally in real estate hearing into 2015, now is a great time to see what the Great Smoky Mountains can do for you and your home ownership dreams.

The Famous & Well-Known Mount LeConte!

Posted by Gatlin on January 13, 2015

As we enter into January of the new year, you probably have seen some snow up on the peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains, giving a real sense of mountain life during wintertime here in the Smokies. One of the mountains you probably know very well is that of Mount LeConte, which is 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 regular Blog page, which can also give you some good information about Mount LeConte, as well, including the latest weather conditions.

With such beautiful landscapes and scenery, as offered by Mount LeConte and the Great Smoky Mountains, now is a great time to come and see the wonder of the Smokies for yourself.
