What does all of this mean? There weren't enough homes on the market for under $100,000 to even bother calculating separately (there were 10 for those keeping score at home). If you have a home to sell in Ooltewah for under $200k there's not much reason to wait around for the market to pick up. Even in the $200-400k range, there's still only an 8 month supply. The upper end of the real estate market fares better in Ooltewah than in the rest of Hamilton County with only a 19 month supply compared to 28.5 for Hamilton County as a whole. If you've got a lower to mid level home to sell in Ooltewah and want to move up to a bigger house nearby...get your selling shoes on. If you've lived in your house for 5 of the last 8 years you might even qualify for the new $6,500 tax credit.
