Top 5 Remodeling Projects to Improve Your Home's Value
The new Cost Vs. Value Report recently came out and NAR summed up the top 5 remodeling projects to improve your home's value.
1. First on the list was the entry door replacement. Apparently if you replace your entry door and put the glass panels on either side, you will recoup more than 100% of the value of that job if you go to sell your house!
2. Garage Door Replacement was second on the list of the top 5 remodeling projects. And I completely agree with this one - nothing … (0 comments)

There were a healthy number of condo sales (36) during the months of May and June 2010 in Nashville's Green Hills area - check it out!

Compared with last month's downtown Nashville Condo Market Report, this market report shows a small decline in condo sales.

I think it's safe to say that many folks took advantage of the First Time Buyer Tax Credit which expired at the end of April 2010. At least this Green Hillls Condo Sale Market Report seems to indicate that!

So, you put your house on the market and got a buyer for it. You've been patiently waiting through the inspection process and the financing process and now you're down to the date of closing.

Nashville's 12th South Area Home Sales for January and February 2010: A Market Report
I decided to start a market report for Nashville's 12th South area in 2010. I live very close to this area and frequent the restaurants and shops!

Nashville's Green Hills Area Condo Sales: January and February 2010 Market Report
During the months of January and February, there were 9 Condo Sales in the Green Hills area. This is one more sale than we saw in the month of December 2009. Per month, this is WAY DOWN from what we saw in December. Also, for some reason a condo sale from the Lofts on Eighth were included in this report, which I took straight from MLS data. So that is an average of four Green Hills condo sales per month for January and February 2010.
