The Market Slows But Continues To Climb

Posted by Gatlin on March 28, 2013

The National Association of REALTORS reported that pending home sales slowed in February but still remained at the second highest level that has been seen in almost three years. As inventory decreases it is believed that limited available choices for buyers are causing the leveling out of activity. Let’s look a little closer at the market activity.

The Pending Home Sales Index, which reflects contracts not closings, fell less than half a percent from January but remains 8.4% higher than February of 2012. Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist, said “Only new home construction can genuinely help relieve the inventory shortage and housing starts need to rise at least 50 percent from current levels.” In light of this KB Home, the fifth largest U.S. home builder has announced that they intend to invest more than a billion dollars this year in land acquisition. Jeff Mezger, KB Home Chief Executive explains “With the backdrop of a housing recovery that is now accelerating, we feel it is the right time to step up our investment growth.” Other builders are chiming in with the same sentiment. Increased builder activity will have a positive effect on the economy as jobs are created and money is spent in building materials and by new owners in the market purchasing furniture, appliances and household services.

In the Smoky Mountain area we are seeing a slight decline in inventory and a gradual rise in prices but there are still plenty to choose from. Last week we spoke about the launch of a new search website that features:

Plenty Of Reasons To Plan A Spring Trip To The Smokies

Posted by Gatlin on March 14, 2013

Aside from the beauty of the flowers and trees blooming and things turning green in the mountains there are numerous other reasons to plan a visit this Spring. As is customary in the area each season is celebrated with a multitude of festivals and events. Let’s take a look at a few of the upcoming choices for those looking to experience a Smoky Mountain celebration when they visit.

An always anticipated event, the season opening for Dollywood, kicks off in just a few short weeks on the 23rd with Dollywood’s Festival of Nations. This event lasts through April 22nd and this year features The Paper World Show by Mimirichi with entertainers from Ukraine. Many other acts will be performing as well. Take a journey to Ireland with Spirit Of The Dance, enjoy the Zambian Vocal Group bringing us songs from Africa and much more.

Someone in the group love to fish? Enter the Smoky Mountain Trout Tournament for a chance to win over $10,000 in cash and prizes! On April 6th & 7th visitors of all ages can enjoy getting in to the outdoors and trout fishing over 20 miles of Smoky Mountain streams. More details may be found at the event website.

Want to take a walk down memory lane? April 19-21 will be the return of the Spring Grand Rod Run. One of the all time favorite events for the region, it is a great time to visit and enjoy a metal and chrome display all the way down the Parkway. With thousands of cars and vendors from all across the nation someone is always on hand to tell the stories about these beautiful machines. There are numerous booths, demonstrations and contests to enjoy making it the perfect time to enjoy a piece of yesteryear.

The Titanic Museum will be hosting numerous events as well including a Children’s Weekend on May 11th & 12th and several events focusing on our Veterans. Things will continue on in to Summer with Dolly Parton’s 28th Annual Homecoming Parade on Friday May 10th. Very similar to other parades, this one features gorgeous floats, marching bands, horses and more. The big difference? Dolly herself leads the festivities through town! You should arrive early to get a great view as the event draws more than 50,000 visitors to the area.

All of these events throughout the year are designed to make the Sevier County region of the Great Smoky Mountains a favorite place to visit.

February Continued The Positive Trend For Smoky Mountain Real Estate

Posted by Gatlin on March 7, 2013

As we prepare to move in to the Spring market we will take a look and see what the statistics had to show for February in real estate trends. We see positive news in key categories and look forward to this continuing through March and the rest of the year. As recent posts have shown, the National real estate market is experiencing great things as well. On Monday, Freddie Mac reported record breaking profits as they closed out 2012. The mortgage giant showed an $11 billion gain, their largest ever and their first profitable year since 2006. $5.8 billion of this profit must be paid back to the United States Treasury and beginning this year 100% of profits from Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae will be given back as re-payment of the approximately $71 billion in aid they received during the housing crash. We see these gains as more evidence that the housing market has turned a corner.

As we look at the statistics for Sevier County, Tennessee we will start with the Total Number Of Homes Sold. Compared to February of last year we do see a decrease. We feel this is partly due to a lowering of inventory. As we move in to Spring we certainly expect to see this number exceeding last year’s again.

In the category of Total Volume Sold we also see a slight decline as well which relates to the numbers above.

Positive news for sellers when we look at Average Sold Prices. February shows a gain of 17% over the same period last year. Though less homes sold for the month buyers were willing to pay more for homes which may be related to less homes being on the market to choose from and the presence of a few multiple offer situations.

In the last category, Available Homes On The Market, we see a 9% reduction in inventory. This will continue to help with boosting prices.

Though there is still plenty of inventory available, as a seller now may be a good time to consider putting your home on the market. We understand that you may be wary as you may have considered it before and not been successful at getting the price you need. However as prices are rising and inventory is shrinking leaving less competition why not treat yourself to a free to see if things have changed? We are excited about the positive news for the area and invite you to spend some time at to see what opportunities are available in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Now Could Be The Time To Consider Selling

Posted by Gatlin on February 28, 2013

Next week we will be sharing the February statistics for the Great Smoky Mountain region however, looking at preliminary numbers we expect to have very positive news to share. As in our area, nationally reports of market improvement continue to come in. Let’s see what our sources have to say.

Last week the National Association Of Realtors said it is becoming a seller’s market. NAR reported that the current inventory of homes on the market represents a 4.2 month supply at the current pace, the lowest we have experienced since April of 2005. This is a 25.3% decrease from the same time last year. Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist has concerns that the limited inventory presents challenges for increasing sales volume as buyers are faced with lack of choice. “Buyer traffic is continuing to pick up, while seller traffic is holding steady,” he said. “In fact, buyer traffic is 40 percent above a year ago, so there is plenty of demand but insufficient inventory to improve sales more strongly. We’ve transitioned into a seller’s market in much of the country.” Yun went on to say, “We expect a seasonal rise in inventory this spring but it may be insufficient to avoid more frequent incidences of of multiple bidding and faster than normal price growth.”

The national median price for existing homes of all types was up in January by 12.3% from January of 2012. In the Smoky Mountains, single family homes remained even with last year and we expect to see them starting to rise as we are experiencing a decrease in inventory as well. As buyer activity continues and inventory shrinks prices will show gains.

We are also seeing properties spending less time on the market as buyers are not hesitating to move forward with offers once a property has been identified. Mortgage rates remain low and buyers are taking advantage of available opportunities. With all of these positive changes happening now is a great time to get a free market analysis of your property and see if now may be the prime time to get your property on the market. Email me or give me a call at 877-678-2121 and I am happy to prepare a detailed report for you.

If you are considering a purchase, there are still plenty of great homes at this time but as we expect prices to begin a rise now is the time to . It is very important with the current market conditions to work with an experienced Buyer’s Agent who will help you to balance between moving quickly on the perfect home and protecting your interests. We also strongly encourage speaking to a mortgage lender to begin the process of getting pre-qualified prior to viewing homes to make your negotiation position stronger once you have identified a property. We are here and ready to help with all the details.

Inventory Decreases & Foreclosure Discount Prices Begin To Narrow

Posted by Gatlin on February 21, 2013

In statistics for the Great Smoky Mountain region posted to our website on February 14th we noted that prices were nearly even and inventory was down by 10% in a year over year comparison. Today, Bloomberg reports that nationally sales of previously owned homes increased by .4% with available properties dropping to the lowest level since 1999. Carl Riccadonna, senior U.S. economist at Deutsch Bank Securities said “Incomes continue to rise, interest rates are low and inventory is lean. The outlook is improving.”

Along with this we are seeing major changes in the foreclosure and distressed inventory and how it is affecting the real estate market. It is reported that foreclosure filings fell 28% in January from the previous year and are now at the lowest level since April 2007. As overall inventory continues to decrease prices will level and start to rise with distressed properties being no exception. In an article on Housing Wire, Dr. Yangling Mayer, FNC Senior Research Economist said “The fact that we are seeing a combination of rising home prices and a bottoming out of foreclosure prices is a very good sign the housing recovery is taking hold. This is the very first time in the long housing recession that the two are happening at the same time.” By the fourth quarter of 2012 the average foreclosure discount had dropped to 12.2%, a huge drop from the average 25% discounts we were seeing during the peak of the downturn. During that quarter foreclosures only accounted for 18.1% of the single family sales, down from 26.5% in the first quarter of 2012.

This all adds up to great news for the real estate market. If you own a property in the Smoky Mountain area and have been waiting for the right time to put it on the market now is the time to get a free market analysis. It is a comprehensive report showing current market statistics and what prices buyers are currently paying for homes similar to yours. If you would like to see what kind of price the market may bring for your home just to send me a request.

If you are thinking of buying a second home or investment property in the Smoky Mountain market, now is the time to start looking as there are still several great deals available but we do expect prices to begin to rise and to see more multiple offer situations as inventory continues to tighten. Spend some time at to get a feel for all the region has to offer. When the time is right we are happy to answer your questions or set up an appointment to show you homes.

The Smokies Come To Life With Spring Just Around The Corner

Posted by Gatlin on February 14, 2013

The Great Smoky Mountains offer their own beauty in every season but it is always thrilling to watch as spring approaches and gains steam transforming the mountains with new life, increased wildlife activity, the blooming of flowers and the budding of trees. There are numerous reasons to plan a visit during spring, with a multitude of festivals, activities and workshops. Today registration opened for the 63rd Annual Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage. The 5 day event in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park will be held from April 23rd-27th this year and fills up quick. Let’s take a look at a few of the offerings and reasons to register now. It’s an event not to miss if you love the Smokies.

All 5 days are packed with activity. Most programs are held outdoors in the park with some classes and seminars being held at various indoor venues in Gatlinburg. This year’s program will offer 146 professionally guided walks and presentations allowing participants the opportunity explore the region’s flowers, fauna and natural history. Many walks offer the chance to explore the back country, led by seasoned hikers. For those of you who have photography as a hobby, you are invited to enter the photography competition as well. The competition includes categories for flora, fauna and landscape. Winners will be chosen by votes of those registered for the pilgrimage and an awards ceremony will be held. Just looking to improve your photography skills? A beginner’s photography workshop will be offered with outdoor, hands-on instruction.

In recognition of the 175th anniversary of the Trail of Tears, Wednesday’s indoor events focus on Cherokee culture. There will be talks about the Trail of Tears, Cherokee Culture After The Trail and Cherokee plant lore. Prefer an outdoor experience while learning more about the Cherokee? Join Native American, Karen LaMere at Metcalf Bottoms Picnic area on Wednesday morning for “Native People’s Use Of Nature’s Garden” and listen to a history that has been passed down through the generations as well as taste and learn uses of native plants gathered from nature. Davy Arch, a Cherokee woodcarver and storyteller will also lecture on Cherokee culture and demonstrate carving, mask making and more. His presentation is a great time to learn how plants played a part in Cherokee arts all the way back to the ice age.

If you are a seasoned hiker you are sure to enjoy one of the longer, more strenuous hikes. A Wildflower Hike along Ramsey Cascades Trail will allow you to see a diverse range of wildflowers as you walk through one of the old-growth forests up to the 100′ falls. Looking for a beautiful but easier hike? Take the opportunity to walk the Noah “Bud” Ogle Trail and see many different wildflowers and American chestnut tree remnants in the fields of the homestead. Interested in the wildlife in the mountains? Join David Whitehead, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Manager as he describes the history, tracking signs, human impact and environmental issues of the areas black bears and wild hogs while enjoying a 2-3 mile easy walk at Little River Trail head.

This is just a very small sample of the wide variety of events and opportunities offered at the event this year. There is something for everyone who is interested in spending more time on the trail and learning more about the area’s heritage and the Smoky Mountains. You may download a full event schedule, register and more at the official event website.

The Smoky Mountain Real Estate Market Is Taking Off In 2013

Posted by Gatlin on February 7, 2013

The Road To Recovery The first month of 2013 has started with positive numbers and great news. As we look at the statistical numbers we see a whirlwind of activity and gains toward improvement that are bigger than we have seen in quite some time. Let’s take a look.

In the category of Total Residences Sold we have started 2013 with an overall increase of 8%. January is typically a busy month in the area for real estate but we see a trend towards increased buyer activity from recent years.

Total Volume of real estate sold in the area was also up with an increase over the same period last year of over $1,000,000 or 8%.

Prices have actually remained nearly even with last year. The numbers show only a $707 difference in the Average Sold Price. This is very positive news for sellers.

Inventory of available homes has dropped by 10%. As buyers are more active and the above numbers improve we expect to see this number continue to decrease helping prices to remain even and start to rise.

As supply and demand continue to balance out we believe now is the time to consider a Smoky Mountain Purchase. Take a look at our website to view all of the available homes and get started on the road to making a great investment. We are here to help when the time is right for you.

Expect Good Things For Real Estate In 2013

Posted by Gatlin on January 31, 2013

2012 closed out with definite signs of continued market improvement. Reports and trends are pointing to these gains continuing this year. January has started at a fast pace for the local real estate market and in recent weeks we have experienced multiple offer situations and bidding wars on homes. When we look at January’s statistics next week we expect to see an increase in activity.

New home construction is reported to have accelerated to its highest rate since 2008. As existing inventory continues to move we believe we will see new home construction continue to rise. Other reports show that repairing and remodeling of existing homes has picked up as more owners are preparing their homes for the market spurred on by positive signs of recovery.

The Joint Center For Housing Studies at Harvard University released a 32 page report on January 23rd relating to improvement of the housing industry. The report shows that in most metropolitan markets home prices have steadily risen with new home construction climbing by almost 30% in 2012 and existing home sales passing the four million mark for the first time since 2007. As momentum builds in the market it is expected that the remodeling and home improvement industry will get a boost as well. The report goes in to depth about how and why that industry will see a flurry of activity and how it relates to the current real estate market conditions. You may download a full copy at their website.

In another report released this month they go on to say that even after the housing crash, as the market begins its recovery the dream of home ownership is alive and well in America. In one survey by Pew Charitable Trusts 81% of those surveyed agreed that buying a home is the best long term investment in the United States. Using information from the National Housing Survey data from 2010-2012, Drew and Herbert found that of both owners and renters 94% of people between the ages of 18 and 44 anticipate buying a home in the future. While having the desire to own a home is different from actually purchasing, we believe that as prices are still low as long as favorable mortgage conditions remain we will see a large number of buyers entering the market this year.

There are still many opportunities to purchase a residence or investment in the Great Smoky Mountains. As conditions improve we are seeing increases in inventory as more owners are moving forward with delayed plans to sell. We believe prices will continue to rise and now is the time for buyers to take advantage of still available deals and for sellers to consider getting a to determine if now is the time to put their home on the market. We are happy to help with achieving your 2013 real estate goals. Spend some time at and let us know when you are ready to begin exploring all that the Smoky Mountain market has to offer.

Sevierville – A Great Place To Make Your Smoky Mountain Home

Posted by Gatlin on January 17, 2013

Named after John Sevier, the first governor of Tennessee, Sevierville is proud to be the eighth oldest town in the state and the largest city in the county. The city boasts a Heritage Museum, located in the historic downtown area, and a one-mile Riverwalk along the banks of the Little Pigeon River.

While capturing the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, this modern mountain town offers a diverse selection of real estate options that is sure to please even the most discerning of tastes. Once farmland, the City of Sevierville is now an urban metropolis and suburban paradise with residential properties ranging from the cozy condo to the sprawling estate.

Sevierville was founded in 1795 and later incorporated in 1901. One of the more charming aspects of the city is the Trolley system that serves the area on two trolley routes, one extending into Pigeon Forge. Sevierville is conveniently located near I-40 and the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most visited park in our great nation.

Festivals abound in the eastern Tennessee mountains, and there is no better place to be than in Sevierville, with community involvement and enthusiasm showing throughout the city. A few of the festivals and events to enjoy are:

*TN Smokies baseball

These are only a few of the reasons why residents love living in the great City of Sevierville. If festivals celebrating life in Sevierville are not reason enough, the vistas surrounding the city and the recreational options they provide are another reason to call Sevierville home. Residents in Sevierville can enjoy golfing, fishing in Douglas Lake, hiking on more than 650 miles of trails, and camping in the untouched forests around the city. Horseback riding and canoeing along the French Broad River are action-packed options for a great day in Sevierville. Other forms of recreation are scattered throughout the city including shopping, dining, theaters and museums, just to name a few.
