Chattanooga Real Estate Market Stats for April 2012

Brainerd Cottage

I *just* got through writing up the Chattanooga real estate report for March 2012 and, quite frankly, I couldn’t get it posted fast enough because it was rather anti-climactic knowing what I already knew about April (it’s rather heartening). Note to self: finish last month’s report before this month is over. Anyhoo, let’s get on… Read More

Chattanooga Homes Sold March 2012

Chattanooga Real Estate St Elmo 3

I’m a little, er lot, late with the geekery goodness for March. But I’m going to make up for it by having rather good news to report. Without further ado, I give you the homes sold in the Chattanooga/Hamilton County area for March 2012. I talked quite a bit about what some of these numbers mean… Read More

Chattanooga Real Estate Market Stats for February 2012

May 2010 083

Doesn’t that title just make you giddy with excitement? This month I added a bitty bit more information there under number of sales. Just out of curiosity I looked up the same report for February 2011. Now, granted, we had a extra day in February this year, but holy cow! That’s a big  jump. For… Read More

How do I loathe thee, FHA?* Let me count the ways…

Common Area 600x300

FHA is a fabulous program for many, many, many homebuyers. Modest down payments, standard (low!) interest rates no matter what the borrowers’ credit scores, the ability to roll the up front mortgage insurance premium (UFMIP) into the loan… <insert screeching sound> Yeah, that up front mortgage insurance is really no fun. It’s just a fee… Read More

Check it out and then I’ll tell you what I think we’re gaining… You see what I did there? All of Hamilton County’s… Read More

I’ve got some good news & some bad news…

Ooltewah Homes for sale in Windstone subdivision

…which do you want first? Good news it is! Existing home sales (nationwide) are at a one & a half year high. And that’s got to be a good thing. A lot of smart people are thinking that this is the bottom of the housing market trough and that the upswing has started. I happen… Read More

Want to nudge that electric bill down a bit?

Reduce energy bills, letting EPB pay for improvements!

WITHOUT setting the thermostat on 58 this winter or 78 this summer (who makes up those tips, anyway)? Sadly, most of the tax credits for energy efficient improvements have gone the way of the dinosaur. Luckily Chattanooga’s electric company, EPB, is taking up some of the slack. Right now and for the forseeable future, EPB… Read More

Chattanooga Real Estate Market for November 2010, now with more geekery!

Red Bank homes for sale

Typically, my Chattanooga real estate market reports look something like what you’ll find at the other end of that link back there. I have to admit, they are almost agony to put together. It’s just that boring. Don’t get me wrong, I’m as wonky as the next real estate geek, but there’s not much of… Read More
