👋 We've just written a blog post about how the NAR Real Estate Commission Settlement Proposal could affect your next home purchase or sale in Nashville and beyond. See the link in our bio or visit bit.ly/com-set The media has made it sound like a significant change is coming. In some ways, it is, but in other ways, it's business as usual. Here are the proposed terms that could affect your next transaction: 🔷𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗲-𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: As we advance, the MLS will no longer publish “cooperating commission” to the buyer broker, making the payment and amount of buyer agent commissions entirely negotiable. 🔶𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Buyers must sign a written agreement outlining payment terms with their buyer representative before previewing houses. This doesn't mean sellers can never pay a commission to a buyer's agent or that buyers must pay it themselves. Instead, the details will be negotiated and agreed upon differently for each house. Some sellers might offer cooperating commissions, some buyers may opt to pay their agent's commission themselves, and sometimes, it will be negotiated as part of the purchase offer. We might even see new models for buyer representation arise, such as retainers, hourly fees, or pay for specific services. These changes will make the residential real estate market function more like the commercial one. We're excited to watch how the industry adapts. If you have questions, we'd love to chat. bit.ly/com-set ★★★★★ 🪪 James + Stephanie Crawford 📍Nashville REALTOR®, Broker 🪧Brokers Cooperative 📲 615) 266-6778 🌎 NestingInNashville.com #realestatecommission #commissions #nashvillerealestate #realestateblog #nestinginnashville #brokerscooperative #sitzerburnett #nationalassociationofrealtors

Here’s how the real estate market in 2024 is shaping up. #nestinginnashville #brokerscooperative #nashville #nashvillerealestate #realtor #nashvillerealtor #realestatevlog

Ever wondered how to distinguish between Nashville and Davidson County in terms of market stats? It all boils down to the post office. Nashville operates under a metropolitan government covering the entire county, but interpreting home sales stats on a broader scale can be tricky. If a property has a mailing address in Nashville, it's included, but areas with distinct city names like Hermitage, Madison, Antioch, and Old Hickory won't make the cut. The confusion deepens because locales commonly known by their names, such as Donelson, Oak Hill, and Bellevue, are included due to their Nashville addresses. Additionally, some parts of town that many think are outside the county have portions inside Davidson County – I'm looking at you, Goodlettsville, Brentwood, and Mount Juliet. 🏡🌆 #NestingInNashville #BrokersCooperative #Nashville #NashvilleRealEstate #Realtor #NashvilleRealtor #MovingToNashville #NashvilleHomes #RealEstateBlog #RealEstateBlogger #NashvilleRealEstateAgent #DavidsonCounty #RealEstateMarketInsights

🏙️ This is not surprising to me. For years I’ve been wondering exactly who these young people were that could afford such high in-town rent. I love many of the changes we’ve seen, but as a #NashvilleNative I don’t think I could’ve afforded #NewNashville in my 20s, and possibly not in my 30s. I’m crossing my fingers that perhaps some of the institutional owners will decide to cash out and convert to condo. It could potentially bring some much-needed “affordable” inventory to the ownership market. 🤞 #nestinginnashville #brokerscooperative #nashville #nashvillerealestate #realtor #nashvillerealtor #nashvillecondos #firsttimehomebuyer #fha #thda #buyingahome #lovewhereyoulive

🍁September's real estate landscape in Davidson County is an intriguing blend of opportunity and challenge. Buyers should be ready to act decisively, while sellers can expect a reasonably quick sale at a favorable price. “Months Supply of Inventory” stands at a healthy 2.47. In simple terms, the market is 𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑙 leaning towards sellers having more leverage than buyers. 🍁𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁? First-time buyers, rejoice! You’re finding more success in winning bids in the current climate compared to hotter markets of the recent past. You may even be able to negotiate perks like closing cost assistance or interest rate buy-downs. Another change we’re observing is an increase in new construction contributing to the inventory. This is partly because existing homeowners of older homes are hesitant to sell, as they don’t want to forfeit their current low interest rates. Builders have recognized this gap, now creating more affordable options like condominiums and suburban townhomes in and around Nashville. 🍁𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 The “List to Sold Price Percentage” is holding strong at 98.5%. That’s great news for sellers who are getting close to their asking price. Meanwhile, the “Median Sold Price” is at $457,000. This is down about 1.6% from last year, but that doesn’t mean that prices are trending down overall. It fluctuates by area and price range. Generally, we find that the market at and below 500k remains hot while the luxury market is a bit cooler. 🍁𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
 Despite interest rates hovering around 7%, competition still remains robust. However, the 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 of closings happening has fallen. We think this will continue to be the case throughout Middle Tennessee for the foreseeable future (until interest rates come closer to 5-6%). Still, a lack of inventory and the enduring desirability of Nashville will combine to make the market stable and attractive for the sellers who do decide to venture into the market. #nestinginnashville #brokerscooperative #nashville #nashvillerealestate #realtor #nashvillerealtor #howsthemarket #marketstats

Did you know that Nashville homes boast the largest yards in the nation? Neither did we until I stumbled upon this information in a recent @nashvillebiz article. Nashville currently takes pride in having the largest median lot size among the country’s 50 biggest cities – a sprawling 11,813 square feet (or .27 acres). Check out our latest blog post (link in bio) for more info!

Nashville real estate prices are a bit higher than the national average. Still, builders have begun focusing on more affordable new construction in our suburban districts, often in the form of townhomes. Affordable first-time buyer homeownership can still be achieved throughout Middle Tennessee. Here are the median sales prices of new-construction condos in June 2023 as reported by @realtracs Antioch - $266,040 Madison - $225,000 Lebanon - $275,567 Murfreesboro - $318,670 Gallatin - $332,045 If you know someone considering homeownership but they think it may be out of reach, please connect us!

Ha! 😭 but in all seriousness - one of our long-time clients recently referred her parents to us for assistance. They had a lovely 3-acre home in Kingston Springs but were ready to downsize and find a cozy one-level home closer to their family in Gallatin. We took the responsibility to heart and worked diligently to facilitate a smooth transition. First, we listed their current home and quickly contracted it for full price. At the same time, we carefully searched for the perfect home across town that met all their requirements and we negotiated a favorable deal that included a home sale contingency and pricing concessions, providing our clients with much-needed peace of mind. Thanks to meticulous planning and a bit of luck, both transactions closed on time, leaving our clients extremely satisfied. We are truly grateful for the trust placed in us by The Randles and want to emphasize that with careful planning and the right assistance, downsizing can be a nearly stress-free and successful experience.

If you or someone you know is thinking of buying or selling this year, we’d love put our 20 years of experience to work!

Happy Pride Y’all! 🌈

🏡 FEBRUARY MARKET UPDATE The volume of closed sales dipped by 25% compared to last year in Greater Nashville, while the available inventory increased by 147%. Days on the market are now 59, compared to 29 in 2022. We've returned to a much more normalized market where buyers have actual negotiating power. Though multiple offers do still happen on well-priced and well-prepared homes. We expect this spring/summer will remain brisk but tempered as higher interest rates are likely to remain for the foreseeable future. #NestingInNashville #BrokersCooperative #Nashville #NashvilleRealEstate #Realtor #NashvilleRealtor #MovingToNashville #NashvilleHomes #RealEstateBlog #RealEstateBlogger #NashvilleRealEstateAgent

❄ 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆❄ saw a year-over-year appreciation of 6% for single-family homes in the Greater Nashville area. Condominium prices were up about 5%. The available inventory of homes was up 144%, but gosh, did we need it. The volume of closings was down 31%, reflecting the push of higher interest rates. Buyers enjoy more choice and negotiating power as the typical home sells more than 2% under the list price, often with other concessions such as interest rate buy-downs or closing cost assistance. Still, it's important to note that these figures reflect a slight seller's advantage. Most areas have less than 3 months of available inventory - a number we refer to as the #AbsorptionRate. The buyers will have the upper hand once that number gets closer to 5-6 months of inventory. It will be interesting to see if that happens in the spring. We think it won't happen - at least in our area. Homeowners with secured interest rates in the 2-3% range aren't likely to give that up unless they must (marriages, babies, death, divorce, job transfers, etc.).

⁠ There are two reasons for this growth: more homeowners listing their homes for sale and homes staying on the market a bit longer as buyer demand has moderated in response to higher mortgage interest rates. ⁠ ⁠ The good news is that more inventory means more homes to choose from if you are a buyer. It also means that you may have more negotiating power. If you are a seller, know that the median sales price is 10.7% higher in Nashville than it was twelve months ago. You haven’t missed the boat.

Yes, the market feels very different than it did six months ago. The folks at @keepingcurrentmatters have this right though. Buyers have more options, AND sellers are making good on recent equity gains (though it may take more time and a few concessions). The market is slowing; normalizing due to the higher rates. Sellers who prep well and price correctly are still finding eager buyers. America is still short by about 5 million housing units. It will take years to fix that- if we ever do. First-time homebuyers who couldn’t compete a season or two ago now have options. Time will tell if the values will hold. We think they will in Nashville, but it won’t be the same story everywhere. Combined, we have 25 years in this business. we’ve seen all kinds of markets, and we can help you negotiate this one. #nestinginnashville #brokerscooperative #nashville #nashvillerealestate #realtor #nashvillerealtor #realestateblog #realestateblogger #keepingcurrentmatters #realestatemarketupdate #nashvillehomes #movingtonashville

The July 2022 housing stats are in, and it’s official: the Nashville market is cooling off, though perhaps not in the way you were expecting. The number of transactions dipped by 19% in July when compared to the same time last year. We also saw a 76% increase in available inventory. You might think that greater availability and less demand would cause prices to fall, but so far, values are holding up… read more at NestingInNashville.com/blog #nestinginnashville #brokerscooperative #nashville #nashvillerealestate #realtor #nashvillerealtor #realestateblog #nashvillehomes #movingtonashville #interestrates

This is according to FORTUNE and @corelogicres Buyers now have more leverage than we’ve seen in a long time. We were spoiled by interest rates that were artificially low for years. That’s no longer happening, but values are holding AND buyers have more options. Don’t expect rates to come back down especially after today’s three-quarter point fed hike). Rates are in a historically healthy spot now. A more balanced market is a GOOD thing.

I have no idea how/who to attribute, but look at this beautiful Davidson County art I found on the Internet. #lovewhereyoulive #lovewhereyoudwell #lovewhereyounest #nestinginnashville #brokerscooperative #nashville #nashvillerealestate #realtor #nashvillerealtor #davidsoncountytn #cumberlandriver #nashvilleart

How’s the market? It’s still red hot. Other parts of the country are starting to see some slow downs. In our area, we still don’t have enough inventory for many buyers to be deterred. We have been noticing more price reductions recently. I suspect we will see that the number of showings will be somewhat decreased once the June numbers arrive. Interest rates have risen quite a bit and that is expected to continue until the fed is able to curb inflation. Overall the Nashville market is still very attractive to both investors and folks fleeing higher dollar areas. Real estate is almost always a safe bet against inflation. #nestinginnashville #brokerscooperative #nashville #nashvillerealestate #realtor #nashvillerealtor #realestate #tnrealestate #tnrealtor

🏡 #Househunters headed to #Nashville from California or New York have an extra $163,486 to spend when compared to local buyers, according to an analysis by @redfinrealestate... ____ We've had success helping friends and clients how to succeed in this aggressive seller's market. Let us know if we can help. 🔷 Steph & James 🔶 NestingInNashville.com 🔷 Brokers Cooperative 🔶 615.266.6778 _____ ... article continued ... "The average maximum house budget for migrants coming to metro Nashville is $736,868. Meanwhile, local buyers have an average maximum budget of $573,382. That means out-of-town buyers in Nashville on average boast a maximum home buying budget 28.5% higher than local buyers — the biggest difference in the nation. Nashville ranks No. 1 among U.S. metros for the biggest disparity between what migrant buyers and local buyers can spend. "Nashville is becoming increasingly popular for people moving from one metro area to another, with a net inflow of roughly 4,000 in the fourth quarter, up from about 2,900 in the fourth quarter of 2019," the report states. "Net inflow is a measure of how many more Redfin.com users looked to move into a metro than leave." This analysis shows why many local homebuyers face difficulties finding a house they can afford, and it also indicates one reason home prices here are exploding. In Nashville, the median home purchase price jumped from $367,090 in March 2021 to $461,620 in the same month this year, according to @greaternashvillerealtors. West Coast buyers in Nashville are paying far above asking price “without batting an eye,” Nashville-based Redfin agent @hopegeyer said in the report. “In their eyes, they’re getting a deal. It’s really hard for locals to compete right now, and it can be devastating for first-time buyers who aren’t able to offset high prices by selling a home before they buy a new one.” Source: @nashvillebiz #nashvillerealestate #nashvillerealtor

The term “household income” was given new meaning in 2021 as a banner year for home appreciation found houses themselves earning more than the median worker in major metros across the country, according to Zillow. While homeowners watched their assets multiply in 2021, the chasm separating many renters from homeownership widened, as home prices skyrocketed and rising rents eroded their ability to save for a down payment. Rents rose 16% across the U.S. in 2021 and upward of 25% in popular locales.  #NashvilleRealEstate #NashvilleHomes #Nashville #NashvilleHomeValues #NashvilleRealtor #NashvilleVloggger #NashvilleBlogger #zillow #HomeValues #Equity #HouseholdIncome

🏡🏡🏡 Do you want to know what to expect for Nashville Real Estate in 2022? Here are the top three trends predicted to drive the market this year. 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, expect that the supply of homes for sale will continue to be the number one issue in Nashville real estate. Supply has become a growing issue over the last few years due to increased local demand, a decade of below-average new construction volume, and an antigrowth sentiment in many communities. Across the nation, we need five million more new construction homes today to be a balanced market. At the current rate, it will take five to ten years for the national supply and demand to stabilize. 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝, expect that real estate will continue to appreciate in Nashville in 2022. In 2021, the median sales price of a home rose 22.4 percent from $339,000 to $414,900. Expert projections for home value increases in 2022 range from 6 percent up to a high of 19.8 percent locally. Last, the biggest risk to the local market is rising interest rates due to inflation. In December, the Federal Reserve announced they would be eliminating their bond purchases by March 2022. In addition, they announced plans to raise the Federal Funds Rate up to three times per year between 2022 and 2024. Rising interest rates destroy a buyer’s purchasing power. A one percent increase in interest rates reduces buying power by eleven percent. That means if you were approved to buy a $400,000 home with interest rates at three percent, then an increase to a four percent rate brings your approved purchase price down to $356,000. If you plan to buy a home in the near future, it’s imperative that you start early and find an expert Realtor who can guide you through all of the obstacles in this market to help you find your home in Nashville.

Just one of many reasons why the Nashville real estate market will remain strong throughout 2022. With the additions of Amazon and Oracle, we are poised to see continued skyrocketing growth- even if the national market cools, as some are predicting. The old axiom remains true: Don’t wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate and wait. #nestinginnashville #brokerscooperative #nashville #nashvillerealestate #realtor #nashvillerealtor #realestate #sellersmarket #investinrealestate #investinnashville #marketpredictions #herecomes2022 #buyrealestateandwait #buyrealestatenow #buynow #middletennessee #nashvillehomes

We believe, 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱𝗹𝘆, in the power of homeownership. It builds wealth. It enables retirement. It changes lives. It has certainly changed ours. It also builds a stronger middle class and what follows are better schools, lower crime rates, higher voting percentages, and a more engaged citizenry. Real estate transactions aren’t always easy. Sometimes they can be downright frustrating. But the American system of homeownership has made our model of buying and selling real property the envy of the world. We believe Realtors® are crucial in helping to make the American Dream a reality. For this, and so many other reasons, we are proud to be locally-owned, independent brokers. If we can be of assistance in making your homeownership dreams a reality, we'd sure to help. 💙🧡 👩‍❤️‍👨 James & Stephanie Crawford 🕸 NestingInNashville.com ☏ 615.266.6778 #️⃣ #homeownership #Nashville #NashvilleRealEstate #NashvilleRealtor #NashvilleRealtors #NashvilleBrokers #RealEstateBlog #RealEstateBloggers #Investing #investinginrealestate #homesweethome #homesweetnashville #liveinnashville #NestingInNashville #BrokersCooperetive #BuyRealEstateNow #BuyRealEstateAndWait #home #NashvilleHomes #homeequity #movingtonashville #movetonashville #buynashville #sellingnashville #firsttimebuyer @corelogicinc

Just realizing that I forgot to upload this video to IG from a few months back about the craziness that is Nashville real estate.

Eileen and Justen had already started their new life in Ireland 🇮🇪 when we put this charming Donelson home on the market. One weekend and several offers later, we accepted a contract for $30,000 over the asking price. We were able to coordinate painters, cleaners, and repair people from afar. They didn’t even have to come back to the states for closing. Congrats to these lovely folks on a successful sale! 🍀 Thank you so much for choosing to work with us. >>>>>>>   Stephanie & James Crawford NestingInNashville.com   Brokers Cooperative 615-266-6778 <<<<<<< #nestinginnashville #brokerscooperative #nashville #nashvillerealestate #realtor #nashvillerealtor #realestate #hipdonelson #donelson #donelsontn #penningtonbend #37214 #donelsonrealestate #donelsonrealtor #movingtonashville

Hoping to avoid the costs of a jumbo loan? Higher limits are almost here. The conforming loan limits for 2021 maxed out at $548,250 in most areas and a little more in others. FHFA officials have signaled that it might increase the baseline limit for most U.S. counties to $625,000 in 2022. But that’s not yet official. Even so, some mortgage lenders are now offering loans up to that amount. Looking for a great lender? We’d love to connect you with our best resources.

🔑 Looking for more space? With a little bit of planning, it is still possible to buy and sell at the same time. 🪧📦🏡 We listed Shawna‘s tiny #EastNashville home at a super attractive point. We marketed it as coming soon for a few days. Then facilitated 36 showings over the course of a weekend. And 🧨 just like that 💥, it was under contract for 18% over the asking price to a completely non-contingent buyer who agreed to let her stay in the property rent-free for 60 days after closing. Her impeccable decor and style didn’t hurt. 💋 We then strategized the winning bid for her cutie🍰replacement home. Lots of friends helped along the way.

📬 How Will Inflation Affect Nashville Real Estate? Inflation, as you know, means your money is devalued. This can be alarming to many investors. The direct effects of inflation are obvious enough – increases in the cost of goods and services – but there are also many other negative (and even some positive) effects to consider. When inflation hits, there is an increase in the cost of construction. We’re currently seeing an increase because of COVID-related shortages in materials, but rising inflation could bring more. When the cost of materials goes up, so do new home prices. Inflation also causes money to become more expensive to borrow. When loans become more expensive, fewer people get them, and this can flatten economic growth. With all these negative effects, what could possibly be positive about inflation? Inflation means the people who own property see more equity gains. Real estate can be great protection for your portfolio during inflation, and the longer the inflation lasts, the more your home value benefits. Nationally, some markets are beginning to slow. We don’t see a significant slowdown happening in the Nashville market at any time in the near future. The thousands of jobs being brought by Amazon, AllianceBernstein, Oracle, Ford, and others will attract new buyers to the Midstate area for years to come. Even a hike in mortgage interest rates won’t deter new folks from coming here so the outlook for Nashville real estate remains quite sunny for sellers and will continue to be a challenge for buyers. Have you considered buying a new home or investing in a rental property to prepare for your retirement? We’d love to speak to you about your plans. >>>>>>>   Stephanie & James Crawford NestingInNashville.com   Brokers Cooperative 615-266-6778 <<<<<<< #nestinginnashville #brokerscooperative #nashville #nashvillerealestate #realtor #nashvillerealtor #realestate #inflation #nashvillehomes

🎯🌱 Tennessee has seen a growth of more than 564,000 people over the past decade, bringing the total population to 6.9 million, Census data shows. Nationally, metropolitan areas grew as smaller rural communities shrank. Tennessee saw similar trends. A majority of newcomers to Tennessee settled down in Davidson County and the counties surrounding Metro Nashville. Davidson County now has 715,884 people, an increase of 14.2% from the 626,662 people from 2010. The uptick accounts for 15% of the statewide growth over the past decade. "That equates to one new resident per hour for the last ten years," said Nashville Mayor John Cooper in a Thursday tweet. But neighboring counties grew at a faster pace. Williamson County, for example, saw a 35% jump in population over the past decade. A increase of more than 64,000 people brought the total population to more than 247,000, data shows. Wilson County grew by 29.6%, and Sumner County by 22.2%, according to the data. >>>>>>> Stephanie & James Crawford Broker, REALTOR 615-554-3745 NestingInNashville.com Brokers Cooperative 615-266-6778 <<<<<<< #nestinginnashville #brokerscooperative #nashville #nashvillerealestate #realtor #nashvillerealtor #realestate #census #tennesseecensus #populationgrowth #movingtonashville #movetonashville #nashvillecensus #itcity

Sellers definitely still have the advantage. I’ve heard rumblings at the national level of a softening, but we are not feeling that here in #Nashville. The respondents to the survey aren’t feeling it either. Here are more highlights from Fannie Mae’s Home Purchase Sentiment Index: •77% of consumers said it’s a good time to sell, up from 67% last month. Fifteen percent of respondents said it’s a bad time to sell. •64% of consumers said it’s a bad time to buy a home, up from 56% last month. Thirty-two percent of respondents said it’s a good time to buy a home. •48% of respondents said they expect home prices to rise over the next 12 months, up from 47% last month. •57% of respondents expect mortgage rates to go up over the next 12 months, up from 49% last month. Thirty percent expect mortgage rates will stay the same and 6% expect rates to decrease. •88% of consumers say they are not concerned about losing their job over the next 12 months, up slightly from 87% last month. •27% of respondents say their household income is significantly higher than it was 12 months ago, a drop from 29% last month. Fifty-six percent of respondents say their household income is about the same as last year while 13% say their household income is significantly lower.

Summer has us busy as a 🐝! June is traditionally a great month for real estate sales and that is holding true for this year too. Despite a lack of inventory across-the-board, home sales are up again this month by 11%. ☀️🕶

Nope! It’s in Green Hills. 210 Burlington Place just hit the market for $4.8 million. Once home to Nashville’s fourth mayor, this home was constructed and designed in 1932 by Bryant Fleming, the noted architect of #Cheekwood. It was relocated from its original home on Elliston Place and lovingly restored using original materials and old world craftsmanship. This impressive home is marketed by @zeitlinsir colleagues @jessicaaverbuch and @melaniebaker.realestate

🎢🎡🎠🎟 Nashville’s first theme park since #Opryland could be right around the corner, according to @nashvillebiz Guerrier Development is in the site selection process for Storyville Gardens, a 100-plus-acre amusement park centered around stories, reading and world travel. DeLisa, the project’s lead, says construction should begin in mid-2022 and complete in 2025. The park will revolve around the four corners of the globe: Africa, America, Asia and Europe. Current design plans let patrons enter through “Africa,” then embark on a tour across the world, with plenty of classic story-themed attractions along the way. In addition to roller coasters and other rides, the park is slated for more than 220,000 square feet of retail, dining and entertainment space. Check out the #storyvillegardens YouTube page for more info.

🤯 This is hands-down the hottest market any of us have ever seen! 🔥🏡📊💰 And now, thanks to new buyer-bridge solutions, buying and selling at the same time is WAY less complicated and risky than you might imagine. If you’ve thought of making a move, we can help you understand your options and how to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime market. A huge thanks to Realtor colleague @nashvillejolly for exporting and spreadsheeting all of that @realtracs data.

...when your buyer client wins in this crazy real estate market.

Right now, there are more Realtors® in the US than there are houses 🏘 for sale. Housing inventory remained at a record low of 1.03 million units at the end of February, down by 29.5% year over year, which is a record decline. A severe lack of new construction and major construction delays homes aren’t helping matters.

We all know the market is 🔥, but I believe this is a first. According to @realtracs during the month of April, the average sales price of a single family home exceeded the average asking price in every single Middle Tennessee county. Williamson county leads the pack with the average home selling for 2.6% over asking price. With the median price in #WilCo now over 660k, we aren’t talking about about small amounts of cash here. It’s definitely an intimidating time to be a buyer, but the still-low interest rates and the promise of more and more high-paying jobs from Amazon and Oracle mean that this isn’t a bubble. If you are thinking of dipping your toe in the waters, we would love to be your guide.

Check out this amazing property that first time buyer Andrew just snagged right on the Cumberland River. With news of the Oracle deal, this may have just been the smartest purchase ever. Congrats and thank you so much for letting us help.

Goodness, we sure saw some home value appreciation in Davidson County during these past four years...

I suppose the market is gonna do what markets do. When inventory is this tight, buyers are in a real crunch. For those potential sellers staying on the sidelines, there are several options to painlessly eliminate the dreaded home sale contingency. If you are curious, let’s chat.

💥Last month in Davidson County the median sold price was higher by $50 than the median asking price. Makes sense because there are multiple offers and bidding wars at every turn. We desperately need listing inventory. Know anybody that wants to sell? There are now some pretty cool solutions to the home sale contingency problem that is worrying folks into staying put . We’d love to talk with you about it. Instead, you could make your move today while interest rates are still low 🏘

👩🏡✊ Single women account for roughly 20% of home purchases, compared to 13% for single men, and those numbers have been trending away from each other for several years. 73% of women say owning a home is very important to them, more than getting married (41%) and having children (31%). Townhomes and condos are more popular among single buyers of either sex than they are with married buyers. Condos with well-run homeowners associations, good security and/or gated access are particularly attractive to the first time female buyer. These female buyers aren't a homogeneous bunch. They're women of all ages, races, and income levels - never married, single moms, widows, and divorcees. If you'd like to talk over your options for buying in this fast-paced market, we'd love to help.

Thank you so much Sam and Amber for working with us again. We so appreciate you! Round III is coming right up! 🥊💥

The arrival of ☀️daylight savings☀️ means that spring is officially here, but where are the houses? Buyers. Are. Scrambling. Low inventory, high demand, and ultra-low interest rates have created an atmosphere where the sellers have the upper hand. Bidding wars are so common in fact that I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see the average sales price exceed the average list price when we see the stats at the end of the month. Sellers who have come to market are sitting pretty and cashing big checks, so why aren’t more people listing? I think it’s because they’re scared that they won’t be able to find a replacement property. They don’t want to get stuck moving into a rental or having to move twice. If you are that seller, I want you to know that you have more choices than you think. Many buyers will allow you to rent back after closing - sometimes at zero cost. We also have two outstanding programs available locally that can make you non-contingent if you qualify @knockdotcom @ribbonhomeapp If you are a buyer, it’s imperative that you have all your 🦆🦆🦆. There are strategies to win in this environment, but you can’t wing it. You must have a ✅plan and ✅proper expectations. Ready to jump in?

Yes, Virginia, affordable homes do still exist in Nashville. Our buyer snagged this lovely townhouse right by Percy Priest Lake for under $250,000. This market can be intimidating, and frustrating for buyers. But with patience, and planning, it is possible to find a gem.

Agents are a dime a dozen, right? Before you randomly hire your neighbor’s ex-sister-in-law, it might wise to take a breath and think it through. When it comes to the handling of your most valuable asset’s acquisition or sale, be sure to: * Check references on independent sites like Zillow and Yelp * Make sure that your agent has modern technical skills as well as experience working in your neighborhoods of interest * Take the time to interview your agent, preferably in person over coffee or on a face-to-face medium like Zoom * If you are looking for something specific, ask us for a Professional Referral. We are glad to hook you up with the right agent whether it be in Nashville or any place else in the world. Visit our latest blog post to read more about finding the best agent to satisfy YOUR needs

Current Obsession: satin bronze hardware. Yes?/No? What do you think?

Reminder that opening up those cupboards can help keep the pipes from freezing up.

Is now the time to make a move on your terms? Many homeowners who were thinking of selling last year ended up putting their move on hold because of the pandemic. Because of this, we expect to see more eager sellers hitting the market this spring. But listing right now, despite the cold weather, could prove to be advantageous. Why? 1. Compared to last year, showings are WAY UP. 2. Meanwhile, the current inventory of available listings is WAY DOWN. 3. Bidding wars are happening right now. 4. Interest rates remain at all-time lows, driving buyer demand. Right now, sellers are in the driver’s seat. Now is the time to sell your home on your terms by negotiating terms that work for YOU. If you have questions, we’d love to chat.

I’m of the opinion that people refinance way too often. It usually takes at least two years to pay off the costs incurred or equity lost. But right now, it could be worth it. We just shaved about six years off of our loan, and the payment did not go up. • • • • #refinance #refi #nestinginnashville #brokerscooperative #nashville #nashvillerealestate #realtor #nashvillerealtor #realestate #nashvillemortgage
