Why Is The Gatlinburg Area Such A Great Place to Live?

Posted by Gatlin on October 9, 2014

Literally millions of people come to the Gatlinburg area every year, and help our local economy by bringing billions of dollars here, but there remains one important question that some may be asking – Why do so many people come to the Gatlinburg area every year, and even eventually decide to live here?

The answer to this question begins with by simply looking at the Great Smoky Mountains, featuring such peaks as Mt. LeConte, Clingman’s Dome, and much more, along with having one of the world’s best known national parks, right here at our doorstep! The natural beauty of our area draws many to this area, along with a relatively unspoiled landscape, which remains the envy of people from all over the country and the world to this very day. In addition, you could also point out the many attractions of the area, including Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, the Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum, the new Rocky Top Sports World complex, and much more. Also, not too far away from Gatlinburg is the world-famous theme park, Dollywood, as well as the well-known nearby cities of Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and many more, which all contribute a sense of East Tennessee mountain life at its finest!

So, why do so many people come to Gatlinburg every year? The answer is simple – a combination of natural beauty, atttactions, culture, and more, all adding up to a one-of-a-kind, unique environment unlike any other in the country and the world.

Heading Into October 2014, The Great Smoky Mountains Real Estate Market Remains Steady

Posted by Gatlin on October 2, 2014

Throughout 2014 to date, we have seen the local and national real estate markets reflecting largely 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 2014, we will see that such trends, particularly in the Great Smoky Mountains real estate market, continue to largely show the same general trends of slow & steady growth that we are also seeing nationally. Let’s now see what the numbers have to say for September of 2014, as compared to those one year ago, in September of 2013.

In the category of Residences Sold, we see that in comparing September of 2014 to that of September of 2013, the number of residences sold actually declined slightly by 3% in terms of homes being sold, as there were 37 fewer homes that were sold as of the end of September of 2014, as opposed to September of 2013. While this does reflect a departure from the largely prevailing trend of increased home sales in the last several months, this also could indicate that with declining inventory, which has been the case for the last couple of months here in the local market, people are still looking for properties to buy and purchase on the open market. While it is way too early to say if such a downward trend will continue, this category certainly bears watching to see if these statistics will change, or reverse themselves entirely, as we continue to head into the Fall and Winter months of 2014.

In the category of Residential Dollar Volume from September of 2014, as opposed to September of 2013, we see an increase of 6% in terms of dollar volume through September of 2014, as compared to September of 2013, which is slightly down from last month’s increase of 9%, but continues to reflect a general upward trend in terms of Residential Dollar Volume throughout 2014 to date. This shows a continued local, as well as national, trend of relatively steady growth in terms of this category, possibly 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 September of 2014, as compared to that of September of 2013, average sold prices show an increase of 8%, which is a decrease of 1% from that of last month, reflecting a continued trend of gradually higher average home prices on both the local & national levels, and remaining largely constant for the past year or so. 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.

In addition, available homes on the market are continuing to show a slight decrease, which has also happened over the last couple of months, as well. Through September of 2014, as opposed to September of 2013, the number of available homes did decline by 1%, or reflects a decrease of 70 homes in terms of available inventory, which is one of the larger declines of available inventory seen in at least the last couple of months locally. This actually is still largely in line with the latest national real estate trends, which also shows a small decline in available home inventory on the whole. However, despite this decline in inventory, it remains unknown if this decreasing trend in available inventory will continue, but this trend certainly also bears watching to see if it will, in fact, continue.

As 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 slow, but steady, growth that has been shown for over the last year or so. 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.

Celebrating the Heritage of the Town of Pittman Center!

Posted by Gatlin on September 18, 2014

On Saturday, September 20, 2014, the Town of Pittman Center, TN, located just to the east of Gatlinburg, will be celebrating its annual Heritage Day event, from 9AM-4PM. Some of you are probably wondering – where is Pittman Center and what makes this amazingly beautiful mountain town so special? Actually, Pittman Center has a very interesting and unique heritage all its own, and also has earned many great distinctions and honors over the years for its location, as well as its natural beauty. Today, we focus on Pittman Center, and its truly unique mountain heritage, right here in the Great Smoky Mountains!

The story of Pittman Center starts with Frederick Emert, a Revolutionary War veteran who first settled in the area in the year 1784, and this area was first named Emert’s Cove, after Mr. Emert. Later, in 1919, a visionary Methodist missionary preacher named Dr. John Sevier Burnett came to the area, and began to build a center for the mission work being conducted there, and then his good friend, the Rev. Eli Pittman, came to the area a year later, in 1920, and then decided to build on the small settlement being established there, leading to the start of the Town of Pittman Center. In 1974, the Town of Pittman Center was officially incorporated in the State of Tennessee, and has remained as such ever since.

In addition, the Town of Pittman Center has also earned some notable distinctions over the years, as well. One of these involves the Middle Prong of the Little Pigeon River, which was recently ranked as being the cleanest river in the entire State of Tennessee. Also, the Town of Pittman Center was recently selected as being one of the best small cities in the United States. More importantly, the Town itself is situated in a broad valley area, with the nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park serving as a wonderful and beautiful natural background, as well as being in close proximity to the nearby cities of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and many other Sevier County cities. As you travel up or down U.S. Highway 321, which goes through the Town of Pittman Center, it is not hard to see why this Town is “a community dedicated to preserving our mountain heritage.” For more information on Pittman Center, you can visit the Town’s official website today to learn more about this unique community.

With wonderful places like Pittman Center, it is not hard to see why so many come to this area every year, and find great places to live, work, and play.

Heading Into September 2014, The Great Smoky Mountains Real Estate Market Continues its Slow, Steady Growth

Posted by Gatlin on September 4, 2014

Throughout 2014 to date, we have seen the local and national real estate markets reflecting slow, but steady, growth in several key real estate market categories. As we look at the statistics for the Great Smoky Mountain real estate market through August of 2014, we will see that such trends, particularly in the Great Smoky Mountain real estate market, continue to show the same general trends of slow, but steady, growth that we are also seeing nationally. Let’s now see what the numbers have to say for August of 2014, as compared to those one year ago, in August of 2013.

In the category of Residences Sold, we see that in comparing August of 2014 to that of August of 2013, the number of residences sold actually remained relatively unchanged (0%) in terms of homes being sold, and actually, there were six (6) fewer homes that were sold as of the end of August of 2014, as opposed to August of 2013. While this does reflect a departure from the largely prevailing trend of increased home sales in the last several months, this also could show that the market has become even more steady in terms of numbers of sold homes. While it is too early to say if such a trend will continue, it certainly bears watching to see if these statistics will change heading into the Fall and Winter months of 2014 or not.

In the category of Residential Dollar Volume from August of 2014, as opposed to August of 2013, we see an increase of 9% in terms of dollar volume through August of 2014, as compared to August of 2013, which is only slightly down from last month’s increase of 11%, but continues to reflect a general upward trend in terms of Residential Dollar Volume throughout 2014 to date. This shows a continued local, as well as national, trend of relatively steady growth in terms of this category, possibly 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 August of 2014, as compared to that of August of 2013, average sold prices show an increase of 9%, which is an increase of 1% from that of last month, reflecting a continued trend of gradually higher average home prices on both the local & national levels, and remaining largely constant for the past year or so. 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 the foreseeable future.

In addition, available homes on the market are continuing to show a slight decrease, which has also happened over the last couple of months, as well. Through August of 2014, as opposed to August of 2013, the number of available homes did decline by 2%, or reflects a decrease of 93 homes in terms of available inventory, which is the largest decline of available inventory seen in at least the last couple of months locally. This actually is still largely in line with the latest national real estate trends, which also shows a small decline in available home inventory on the whole. However, despite this decline in inventory, it remains unknown if this decreasing trend in available inventory will continue, but this trend certainly also bears watching to see if it will, in fact, continue.

An Introduction to Clingman’s Dome, The Highest Point in Tennessee!

Posted by Gatlin on August 21, 2014

When people come to the Great Smoky Mountains, people in the Gatlinburg area often think first of the mountain that some of the streets, attractions, and other places are named after, namely that of Mt. LeConte. However, there is another famous mountain that also deserves just as much consideration, which is the focus of this week’s blog post – Clingman’s Dome!

Clingman’s Dome is actually the highest point in the State of Tennessee, and is right along the border with the State of North Carolina. At 6,643 ft. in elevation, Clingman’s Dome is also the third highest mountain east of the Mississippi River, behind only Mt. Mitchell and Mt. Craig, both of which are in western North Carolina. One of the great features of Clingman’s Dome, along with being in the well-known Great Smoky Mountains National Park, is the Observation Tower, where many visitors come every year to see some of the most amazing and awe-inspiring views of the Great Smoky Mountains that you may ever see.

Based at the summit of Clingman’s Dome, visitors can see these incredible views for up to 100 miles in all directions, seeing both western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee at the same time, along with other states, on especially clear days. Plus, Clingman’s Dome is half in Tennessee, and also half of North Carolina! In addition, the world-famous Appalachian Trail (AT) also runs across the top of Clingman’s Dome, attracting many hikers and explorers from around the world every year. Clingman’s Dome is a true natural wonder, and it is no wonder why so many people visit it every year.

With mountain wonders like Clingman’s Dome, it is no wonder why so many people come to the Gatlinburg area every year, and why so many people want to live, work, and play here, as well.

Heading Into August 2014, The Great Smoky Mountain Real Estate Market Continues to Remain Steady

Posted by Gatlin on August 7, 2014

Throughout 2014 to date, we have seen the local and national real estate markets reflecting slow, but steady, growth in several key real estate market categories. As we look at the statistics for the Great Smoky Mountain real estate market through July of 2014, we will see that such trends, particularly in the Great Smoky Mountain real estate market, continue to show the same general trends of slow, but steady, growth that we are also seeing nationally. Let’s now see what the numbers have to say for July of 2014, as compared to those one year ago, in July of 2013.

In the category of Residences Sold, we see that in comparing July of 2014 to that of July of 2013, the number of residences sold increased by 3% in terms of homes being sold, in that 42 more homes were sold as of the end of July of 2014, as opposed to July of 2013, which remains unchanged from last month, reflecting the same percentage in this statistical category. This reflects a general trend of steadiness, as well as gradual growth, in the real estate market as a whole, and as we look at the rest of the statistics, we will see that the local market does indeed continue to reflect this same general trend of steady and slow growth, with respect not just to Residences Sold, but in other real estate statistical categories.

In the category of Residential Dollar Volume from July of 2014, as opposed to July of 2013, we see an increase of 11% in terms of dollar volume through July of 2014, as compared to July of 2013, which is slightly up from last month’s increase of 10%, but continues to reflect a general upward trend in terms of Residential Dollar Volume throughout 2014 to date. This shows a continued local, as well as national, trend of relatively steady growth in terms of this category, possibly 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 July of 2014, as compared to that of July of 2013, average sold prices show an increase of 8%, which is an increase of 1% from that of last month, reflecting a continued trend of gradually higher average home prices on both the local & national levels, and remaining largely constant for the past year or so. 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 the foreseeable future.

In addition, available homes on the market are continuing to show a slight decrease, which has also happened over the last couple of months, as well. Through July of 2014, as opposed to July of 2013, the number of available homes did decline by 1%, or reflects a decrease of 37 homes in terms of available inventory. This actually is still largely in line with the latest national real estate trends, which also shows a small decline in available home inventory on the whole. It remains unknown if this decreasing trend in available inventory will continue, but this trend certainly bears watching to see if it will, in fact, continue.

As 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 slow, but steady, growth that has been shown for over the last year or so. 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.
