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.

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.

Every Season Is A Great Time To Visit The Smokies

Posted by Gatlin on January 24, 2013

Visitors to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park will find a different kind of beauty in every season. Let’s explore a little bit of what rewards each season in the Smokies has to offer.

Spring offers the ever changing display of wildflowers. This year the 63rd Annual Wildflower Pilgrimage will be held from April 24th through April 28th. Participants will enjoy seminars, guided tours and more. Dating back to 1951, the event offers over 150 programs with something for everyone from the serious botanist to the weekend gardener.

Summer hiking gives you the opportunity to follow a trail to a cool retreat in a mountain stream or enjoying the numerous water falls throughout the Smokies. Abrams Falls is a popular spot for hikers. At only 20 feet high it may seem inconsequential, however there is a huge volume of water rushing over the falls making it a fantastic experience. Trillium Gap Trail offers you the opportunity to stand behind the 25 foot high waterfall after wandering through old growth hemlock forest. These are just a few of the nature experiences that await summer visitors.

Fall is a favorite time of many to visit the mountains as they show off a brilliant display of color as the leaves change. The change usually spans over seven weeks with different elevations showing its unique variety of trees and colors at different times. Mid September is a great time to view colors at higher elevations from a location such as Clingman’s Dome. A hike to higher elevations such as Mt. LeConte or Andrews Bald would be sure to deliver beautiful autumn views. Early through mid October provide a wide diversity of colors as the mid and lower elevations begin to change and include many varieties of very colorful trees.

Not to be dismissed, winter in the Smokies offers it’s own kind of sparkle. With many trees bare, mountain vistas open up that are normally hidden. It is a great time to see stone walls, chimneys and snow capped mountain peaks. Not up for a winter hike? Enjoy time at Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort tubing, ice skating, snowboarding or skiing. Sevierville, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Dollywood all offer a wide variety of winter activities as their Winterfest festivals kick off. You can enjoy parades, shows, brilliant light displays and much more.

The market is picking up so far for 2013. Why not schedule a winter or spring visit, relax in a mountain cabin and take a look at a few that are ? You may just find yourself purchasing a second home in the mountains so you can easily enjoy all four seasons.

A Summary Of The 2012 Smoky Mountain Real Estate Market

Posted by Gatlin on January 3, 2013

We hope each of you had a great New Year! As we move in to 2013 we would like to look at the final statistical numbers for 2012 that the Great Smoky Mountain Association Of REALTORS has released. If we go all the way back to the statistics early in the year we know 2012 started with a whirlwind of activity and the trend continued all year. Let’s take a look.

In the category of Total Residences Sold we finished out 2012 with an overall increase of 12%. Buyers were very active throughout the year and took advantage of all time low mortgage rates.

In conjunction with the above category Total Volume of real estate sold in the area was also up with an increase over last year of over $11,000,000.

Prices were still down at the close of the year but have continued to show improvement. As supply continues to dwindle prices will keep pushing towards positive numbers.

The amount of time homes spent on the market showed a decrease of 2.5%. As market factors continue to stabilize we expect to see this number continue to improve.

We would also like to note that 2012 finished with only a 3% increase in inventory vs. 2011. This is an improvement from the 2011 vs. 2010 number which showed a 9% increase. If financing continues to stay at low rates, which we expect it to, inventory will continue to decrease resulting in a balancing of supply and demand in the Great Smoky Mountain region.

It’s a fresh new year and we expect 2013 to continue the upward trend for real estate. It may be the right time to consider an investment or second home purchase in the mountains. Take a look at what the market has to offer by visiting our . We are happy to help with making your Smoky Mountain real estate dream become a reality!

Economists Continue To Report Good News For Real Estate

Posted by Gatlin on December 27, 2012

In a news release on December 20th the National Association of Realtors shows that market conditions continued to improve in November, with lowering inventory and rising prices. The article states that total existing home sales including single family homes, town-homes, condos and co-ops rose 5.9% in November which reflects a 14.5% increase from November of 2011. Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist, said “Momentum continues to build in the housing market from growing jobs and a bursting out of household formation”. Let’s take a more in depth look at the breakdown of the numbers.

One of the big factors contributing to the market recovery is the lowered inventory of distressed homes on the market. Foreclosures and short sales only made up 22% of the sales in November, down from 24% the previous month and 29% in November of 2011. These properties were only showing average discounts of 16-20% from market value, a sign of increased demand. Yun said “The market share of distressed property sales will fall into the teens next year based on a diminishing number of seriously delinquent mortgages”. The current low interest rates and availability of programs to assist home owners will continue to contribute to the reduction of this type of home inventory.

Total housing inventory at the end of November represented a 4.8 month supply with sales at their current pace. This is the lowest supply the market has witnessed since September of 2005. We are also seeing time on the market decrease both nationally and locally with the national stats showing a 28.6% decrease from the same month last year.

As demand increases prices are expected to continue their steady rise. The national median price for existing homes was $180,600 last month. This is not only the ninth consecutive month of year over year gains but also represents a 10.1% increase in price from last November. The last time we were able to see price increases sustained for this many months in a row was from September of 2005 through May of 2006.

We believe that this positive trend will continue through the end of the year and in to 2013. Next week we will take a look at how 2012 finished out for the Smoky Mountain real estate market. The following months of January and February are traditionally a flurry of activity for our area when a large number of buyers visit to view homes. If you have been thinking of coming to explore the market give us a call or email, we are happy to schedule an appointment. If you have a home to sale, now may be the time to ask for a , you may find that now is the time to list.
