Nashville Area Oak Hill Home Sales: December 2009 Market Report

Sorry to say it, but the December 2009 home sales were down again in Oak Hill. From three closings during the previous month, this Nashville satellite city could only show two this time around:

I am personally hoping that the $6500 move-up tax credit will help with the Oak Hill home sales in the coming months. If you haven't heard about it, there is a $6500 tax credit offered to those who have not purchased (to live in) a new home during the past five years. Of course, … (2 comments)

My Strategy of Internet Lead Conversion is To Be Me!

COLD CALLING - YUCK!
I've been working leads since Day 1 in the Real Estate Business. At the beginning, I definitely had the sweaty palm syndrome. I would procrastinate making the cold calls, talking to friends at the office. Finally, I would bite the bullet and start making the calls.
WHAT IF THEY ARE MEAN TO ME?
I'll be honest. I don't like to be on the receiving end of these types of calls, so I was totally cool with people not responding nicely. After all, life is short, right?!

I'm Pouting About the Bias of Foursquare!
Okay, so I feel like a child pouting about not getting what she wants right now, but I have to say my two cents on this issue!

Let me begin by saying that I REALLY enjoyed reading Clint's featured post on Foursquare yesterday! He is absolutely right on the money by saying that Foursquare is a great marketing opportunity! I am using it and I would love to be your friend on Foursquare!
Foursquare does, however, present a problem for me as a single female. Here is the comment I put on Clint's … (7 comments)

The Green Hills Condo Sales were down a bit from the previous month.

Green Hills Terrace and Burton Hills were the top two condo choices for Green Hills homebuyers in the month of November 2009.
And it's a good thing that they got in while they did, because the month of December in the Green Hills area of Nashville is notorious for its crazy mall traffic!
Happy Holidays to all and here's to a great year of Green Hills Condo Sales in the upcoming 2010 year!

I wanted to win some chocolate and macadamia nut treats from Sally Cheeseman, so I am officially entering her contest right now! I consider myself neither a pessimist nor an optimist. I believe in a positive attitude and a realistic point of view. When challenging myself to think positively on these predictions, I knew that my reader would have to take it with a complicated grain of salt. In the hopes of being positive, I'm going to attempt this list Letterman-style: 10. Active Rain will feature 10 or … (13 comments)

Downtown Nashville Condo Sales: October 2009 Market Report

WOW - check out all of the downtown Nashville condo sales for the month of October 2009! 35!!!
Ranging in price from $64k to $434k, these condo sales reflect a couple of things: 1. the push towards the original ending date of the first time buyers tax credit and 2. the trend of living in downtown Nashville!
A large percentage of these downtown Nashville condo sales were at the Velocity in the Gulch, who cleverly offered to match the $8k tax credit as an incentive to purchase.
Here's the data:

Home Buyer's Tax Credit Extended and Expanded: It's Official!

I just received an email explaining all of the details on the Homebuyer's Tax Credit, which has been extended and expanded to current homeowners.
According to Me, this is good news for current homeowners, who were previously left out of this tax credit. Perhaps this will encourage the middle part of the housing market to start moving! This is also good news for first time homebuyers, as they now have another five months to seal the deal on their first home (that is, if they can actually get approved for a … (2 comments)
