Boy it sure has been a great Saturday! I got up this morning and reviewed a few blog posts here on activerain. Then my family and I went to the park to walk and enjoy the sunshine. We grabbed a bite at McD's and then decided to go out to a friend's house and fish off the dock(Lakewood Community-I will do a post in a few days about this area).

My girls got the shovel out and dug for worms while I loaded up the fishing poles and tackle. When we got there, our friends were already fishing so we joined in. We did not catch very many but I was with my family and friends. We finally said our good byes and I took my family home and I went to meet my clients.

We only looked at two homes, one at "The Farms" priced at $199,000 and the other at "Heathridge" priced at $187,000. Both of these properties just got listed and are very nice. I will return to this post on Monday and add a few pictures. This family I showed homes to today have been looking for a few weeks here in the Dyersburg area. The reason it is taking so long to sell them a home is because they are looking for a real motivated seller and a lower than appraisal price.

I told them they have been watching too much TV "bad news". Our market is actually doing very well! Over and over again I show them the comps for homes in the area and continue to explain that Dyersburg is doing very well economy wise and is actually a growing area. If I were in the market for a new home here in Dyersburg,Tennessee I would want to buy a house that is still going up in value and not going down.  

This family liked both homes today and I really believe they will pick the Heathridge home because it is on a small lake(I built this home 9 years ago when I was a contractor). Both of these areas(The Farms & Heathridge) are very "hot" areas in which to purchase and sell. I have written an earlier post about two other hot areas (in a little lower price range) and will return to write about these areas very soon!
