Hot new property

mshipp — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 12:35:31 +0000

Check out this hot new property or at least it is in my most humble opinion. Located at 209 W 17th St. Chattanooga,TN 37408. It is a great 2ba/1.5ba, 1150sqft. condo with 2 great outdoor spaces. There is even a laundry room. Talk about luxury for $169,000 in downtown Chattanooga. I won’t lie it does need some lighting and kitchen updates, but is a great investment, a great location, and a great layout.

This weekend is going to be beautiful in Chattanooga so be sure to get out there and enjoy local activities. Today there is an Octoberfest ordeal going on down on the NorthShore of town.

Bridgeview Condos / Terrace at Frazier

mshipp — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:51:24 +0000

Check out these awesome condos…4 Cherokee Blvd Chattanooga, TN 37402 has all the amenities the Northshore has to offer. Starting at $327,000-on up there for a penthouse these offer covered secured parking, great porches/patios, gas fireplaces, built with the utmost integrity, step out into Renaissance Park and so much more!

There is another great Northshore condo at the corner of Frazier and Tremont. Check out www.terraceatfrazier.com for all the information on the building and be sure to call me to set up that appointment. You always want someone who is working for you and not the developer.

Both buildings have advantages and disadvantages it is merely a difference in taste. Bridgeview for sure has better outdoor living spaces, but Terrace has extra storage space available with the unit and the potential to build out a unit specific to your needs. If you are looking for upscale living on the Northshore you cannot go wrong with either of these developments.

Have a great day and keep me in mind when you run into someone who is looking to buy or sell.

Real Estate Needs

mshipp — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 14:08:18 +0000

Keep in mind that any realtor can help you buy or sell a home. On the buy side it is basically free for you to use a realtor. They can help you find the perfect home, help negotiate, and keep all the paperwork in order and on time, and best of all they are working for you not the seller…

New community being built out in Apison called Prairie Pass with nice smaller homes. Check out this article….

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).

Have a wonderful Friday and an even better weekend. It is supposed to be beautiful here in the Tennessee Valley.

Can’t beat the originals

mshipp — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 12:28:16 +0000

Sometimes you just cannot beat an original building with all its character, and of course its location. The Railway Lofts are a wonderful option to all the new condos being built currently. It is a wonderful old building, with older windows and most importantly huge potential and a price point for downtown that can’t be beat. Ranging between $144,000-$200,000 and they are loft style living.

Check out those rates today or rather from Friday…www.bankrate.com

Now is the time to buy with new home owner or current homeowner. For those new homeowners the $8000 tax credit can claimed any time throughout the year. You can amend your taxes at any point to get the money back sooner or you can wait and claim it on your 2009 taxes. Your choice. Check out the tax credit here. It should also be noted that this is credit is for anyone who has not bought or sold a home in the past three years so it should be new home buyers not necessarily first time home buyers.
