It’s a great time to buy a home in Middle Tennessee!

Many homes are on the market with lower prices than several years ago!

There are very affordable loan programs, including government backed loans!

First-time buyers still get a break!  Even if your spouse is a former homeowner; as long as your name was not on a previous home, you can still qualify as a first time buyer.

Credit scores are more important now than in the past, so keep your credit payments current.  Get pre-approved before shopping for a home.  Contact a reputable bank or a professional who specializes in home mortgages. I can help you with this process!

In these times, even a seller may help you finance your home with a second mortgage.  Work with your realtor to determine the availability.

Choose a full-time professional real estate agent!  I have tips when selecting an agent!  Select a reputable firm that has a proven “track record” of buying and selling homes in the areas you prefer. See my credentials under JoAnne Staler’s “About Me” in her “Team” review!

Homes will once again appreciate in value.  In today’s market, it could be your best investment and with tax advantages!

A recent article posted on Realty Times outlines Buyers’ Home Feature Preferences as revealed in the latest National Association of Realtors 2007 Profile of Buyers’ Home Feature Preferences survey.  According to Realty Times oversized garages saw the biggest growth in terms of what 57 percent of buyers deem “very important” in a home. Among buyers who purchased homes without this feature, 56 percent of them said they would have paid more for an oversize garage, compared to only 6 percent in the 2004 survey.

Realty Times also reports other priorities for today’s home buyers include air conditioning, with three out of every four respondents ranking this as “very important,” and a walk-in closet in the master bedroom, which was very important to 53 percent of respondents. Hardwood floors and granite countertops each gained 7 percentage points from the 2004 survey, with 28 percent and 23 percent, respectively, of buyers viewing these features as “very important.” Other preferred features include a backyard play area, living rooms and laundry rooms.

The survey reports responses from buyers who purchased homes in 2006. They were asked about 75 features and room types to assess the importance of each feature.  A typical home purchased by buyers participating in the survey was $205,000, 12 years old, 1,840 square feet in size, with three bedrooms, two baths, central air conditioning and a garage.

The Nashville City Paper reports two Nashville Tennessee high schools — Hume-Fogg and Martin Luther King Jr. academic magnet high schools — are making national lists of top public high schools.  According to the Nashville City Paper article last fall, MLK and Hume-Fog were ranked 23 and 24, respectively, on Newsweek magazine’s list of 1,300 American schools.  Nashville Board of Education member Steve Glover said that while he wants to see increased academic expectations of students at zoned schools increase, MLK and Hume-Fogg may play a role in keeping some kids in public rather than private schools.  Students at Hume-Fogg and MLK must meet academic requirements to qualify for attendance. There still are more qualifying students than there are seats at the schools, so a lottery is held to determine who can attend.Click here to read this Nashville City Paper article in its entirity.

According to MLK’s website Martin Luther King Academic Magnet is also honored by U.S. News and World Report as a gold medal award-winning high school and The Siemens Foundation, in association with the College Board, has designated Martin Luther King Academic Magnet as a top performing high school in Advanced Placement science and math courses.

The Nashville City Paper reports Mayor Karl Dean is authorizing the Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency to take the lead on redevelopment of Downtown Nashville’s Riverfront along both banks of the Cumberland River.  According to the Nashville City Paper Mayor Dean routinely tells visitors to Nashville that in three to four years, the downtown riverfront will look completely different and it will become the centerpiece of the city.  Dean said it was too early in the process to convey a long-term vision for the riverfront, but he added the key is to make it more accessible.  “I think it needs to be the center of the city that we’re all focused on,” Dean said. “It will be an area that will attract people downtown. There are a variety of development possibilities on both sides of the river that will unfold over time.

A statement from the mayor’s office said “the plan envisions a redeveloped waterfront as a recreational, environmental, and economic development asset, and includes such public features as new parkland and play spaces, greenways, boardwalks, piers and docking facilities, integrated with significant mixed-use development.” 

MDHA oversees Nashville’s redevelopment districts, which among other things, provide tax incentives to encourage developers to invest in an area.  “I’m deeply grateful to Mayor Dean for placing the Cumberland River among his priorities,” Jameson said. “Redeveloping the waterfront, and the East Bank in particular, will provide the city with wonderful new parks, recreational opportunities, and much-needed business expansion potential, while simultaneously addressing one of Nashville’s most environmentally and aesthetically challenged areas. In a word, this is huge and we should all be grateful to this administration.”
