Williamson County Real Estate: December 2008

Franklin real estate - I have stopped listening to the news, and reading the paper. and I feel a lot better because of it. The media puts a lot of drama into any bad news they can find, so it always seems like the world is about to end. I stopped watching earlier this year when it became apparent they most of the networks were doing everything in their power to sway the election. I believe that the public should here unbiased reporting, but I don't know where it would be.

Does the media control what I do as a realtor? Of course not, they have no idea what goes on in Tennessee, or in most cases anywhere besides New York or Los Angeles. Why should I let them influence my life, business, or customers. The fact of the matter is this, in Nashville, it's cheaper to own a home than it is to rent a similar home, or apartment. This fact alone is enough to make people want to buy. People are still moving into Nashville and need a place to live. It will cause the rents to increase, and homes to become even more attractive. Interest rates are at a 30 year low, and prices of homes have not started to rise yet, but they will eventually.

What does it mean? The Nashville real estate market is not dead, but slower than normal. I expect that to change quickly. As a realtor who has been waiting for this perfect storm for several years, I'm just doing all I can to take advantage of the rush when it comes. It will be well underway before the media reports it.

Franklin is always a nice place to visit. But during the Christmas holiday, they really put on a show. The main streets and town square are tastefully decorated, and the locals dress as if the were living an another century. You may recognize the period from the Charles Dickens tales, and it's all in fun.

 Treat yourself to a little fun this holiday. Visit Franklin for the weekend and then buy a house. Everyone agrees that it's a great place to visit, but it's even better to live there.

 Leipers fork is a small community just a few miles from Franklin in Williamson county. The community has maintained it's historic small town appearance, and has become somewhat of a tourist hot spot due to the concentration of celebrities who live in the area. Most of the homes in the area are located on lots of at least 5 acres, and the population of the community is still very small, and the residents seem to want it to stay that way.

Here are a few pictures of the Christmas parade from my friend Merrill Osborne.

Last week, I spent over 20 hours in an airplane with Elizabeth so that I would have the pleasure of experiencing Alaska. Why would we go to Alaska in the winter time you might ask. Elizabeth was training one of the local hospitals on the use of the software products that her company developes and maintains.

I was just there for moral support.

While I was there. i learned a few things about Alaska that I had guessed, but really didn't appreciate until I had a chance to see it in person.

• It's cold. The 5 days I was in Anchorage, it never came close to freezing, the roads didn't have any snow on them, just a solid layer of ice about 2 inches thick.
• The locals are called ditch divers when they lose control of their car.
• Everything costs a lot more than it does in Tennessee.
• It's dark a lot longer than I'm used to. sunrise at 10:00 and sundown at 04:00.

I don't plan to go back every, but if i do, it will be during the summer.

Nashville real estate - I have had more phone calls, e-mails, text messages, and contracts from strangers about Nashville and Franklin real estate, than from my sphere of influence for the first time in my career. Most of these people are from other states, but all have the same thing in common. The want to purchase Nashville real estate, and they found me, or my listings on the web. either from my blogs, or my websites.

I have to admit, that I was a non-believer at first. I really didn't think that this environment would really generate many Nashville real estate buyers or sellers, but I was wrong. My next 2 scheduled closings are from strangers who found the real estate through my website, and in turn used me as a buyers agent.

Thank you Activerain.
