Welcome!

Welcome to my blog about the real estate market in Murfreesboro, TN, the Rutherford County seat. I've been a real estate agent in middle Tennessee for over 11 years-- through the good, the bad and the "whatever's next" years. It's a crazy market, one no agent has seen before, but the challenge somehow makes the ride more fun!

Sellers--NOW is the time to list!

Are you ready to test the real estate waters?  Well, jump on in!  The graph below shows there's no better time!  Sales have been steady overall since March 2011 and THAT'S something to get excited about!  No big peaks or valleys like we saw with the stimulas package and recession reports.  Just steady sales, like the little engine that could.

On top of that, the graph shows the number of new listings coming on the market is still declining, which takes us right back to the number one rule of economics-- supply and demand.  Fewer homes to choose from, great news for sellers.  Sellers still have to clean, paint, declutter, and make their home shine, but there's a better chance they won't get lost in a sea of homes.

Ready?  Call me, and let's go for a swim!
