Too Long

It has been a while since I’ve posted sorry about that.

There is not much new news around the real estate world. The market is still in recovery and the tax credit is still set to expire Dec. 1st of this year. That said there is a BIG push from the Realtor association and many other advocates to have the tax credit extended and possibly expanded. I’ve heard up to $15,000, so all hope is not lost, but I am not sure it is worth the gamble either. With the country’s deficit on the rise daily it seems nearly impossible to continue to hand out money to people, but that hasn’t slowed the government down recently so I guess we’ll just see.

That said I have a great house to check out and use that $8000 tax credit on. 611 Texas Ave. Signal Mtn, TN 37377 priced at $159,900 with 3bd/1.5ba  1460sqft and a huge fenced in backyard. Walking distance to Signal Point and in the heart of the Old Town district. Check it out and bring an offer soon before it is snatched up. There is a possible lease/purchase option available on this home for the right candidate.

Carta and VW

This is a little bit funny. Carta will be providing bus services to employees at the new VW plant. Check it out here. 

This new and reasonably priced home came up yesterday at 708 Tremont St. Chattanooga, TN 37405. It is a 2bd/1ba home located literally within walking distance to coolidge park, frazier and whatever else you want to explore on the northshore. I am going to show it here in a bit so I’ll let you know how it shows, but online it looks like the deal on the Northshore. Resale value will be really good here in a few years (or at least I think so).
