homesales: 96 Things You Should Know About Home Sales In The Gardens Of Killearn
- 12/20/11 12:49 AM
The Gardens of Killearn is a very popular Northeast Tallahassee neighborhood located in the southeastern corner of the large Killearn Estates subdivision. Homes in the Gardens for the most part were built in the 1990s, and most homes are more than 2,000 square feet of heated and cooled space with three or four bedrooms. Just as we are seeing across the rest of the Tallahassee real estate market, home values are still falling in the Gardens of Killearn. And also like many other Tallahassee neighborhoods, the average recent home sales price has begun to stabilize. So how do prices stabilize while … (13 comments)
homesales: 2012 Housing Market Forecast
- 12/11/11 11:59 PM
Every year around this time, I put together a real estate forecast and try to explain my expectations for the coming year. I am proud to say that I have been fairly accurate in my projections, and often times hit the nail on the head while many others in the Tallahassee housing market were calling for something entirely different. Long-time readers of the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog will recall that my real estate forecast for 2011 called for falling home values and the potential for "worst year ever" for the total number of closed home sales. Currently, home values have fallen … (6 comments)

The Tallahassee Neighborhoods page has been one of the most trafficked pages on our website, and it got so busy it almost brought down the entire site. Apparently, it wasn't too smart creating a single page with over 5,000 links to articles and homes for sale in Tallahassee subdivisions. Oh well, live and learn. The growing number of visitors to our real estate website has shown that there is great interest in learning more about Tallahassee subdivisions and what is happening with their individual real estate markets.

If you are a long-time reader of the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog, then you most likely know that we track a lot of home sales information from nearly every Tallahassee neighborhood that has had a sale in the past twenty years. This is no small feat as there are over 1,600 neighborhoods in Tallahassee. In doing some of my previous reports where I showed the most active Tallahassee neighborhood as Southwood, I was often reminded by readers that there was a mistake in my report and that Southwood was not indeed the most active in home sales. You see, because I … (2 comments)

homesales: Executive Home Sales Performing At Market Average
- 11/18/11 01:33 AM
I recently wrote an article about where to buy a $300,000 home in Tallahassee, and I received a request to provide a similar report in the next higher price range, what we will refer to as "Executive Homes" In Tallahassee. Due to the lack of liquidity in the Tallahassee housing market for homes priced above $300,000, our price range tracking expands greatly. Today, we will look at neighborhoods in Tallahassee where homes have sold in 2011 for $300,000 to $500,000. Note: "MP" asked for homes for sale in Tallahassee priced from $300,000 to $350,000, so we created a page just for … (0 comments)

- 06/08/11 12:08 AM
We have been reviewing the top neighborhoods in Tallahassee for the past few weeks in an attempt to identify the rate at which home values are changing, and we’ve chosen the subdivisions that have the most sales over the past year because they give us more information from which to work. But occasionally we get a reader request for a neighborhood that has fewer sales, and today is one such day where we will take a look at Pine Tip Hills in Northeast Tallahassee. Recently, “Nancy” asked “Mr. Manausa, Why don’t you ever have Pine Tip Hills on your lists????” So … (0 comments)
