Real Estate Needs

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).

Tax Credit can be used for closing costs

Check it out here. There is also a chance for those who make above the set limit on income to still get a tax credit (it is just a bit reduced) so it is worth checking into even if you are above the $75,000 single income and $150,000 joint income. 

Check out those rates. www.bankrate.com

Have a wonderful Monday!

Monday News


Check out those rates. They just keep going down down down www.bankrate.com. If you are seriously looking to buy a house do it in 2009. I promise I don’t believe everything I read on the internet, but here is a pretty good article on the forecast for interest rates in 2009. It certainly does not hurt to at least read around and see what the “experts” are saying for the coming year.

I have found a dream condo here in Chattanooga so hold on…here is comes…
1407 Market St., Chattanooga, TN 37402. I’ll post a link once it is up on the server directly to the listing. It is 1bd/1ba but has  3600 sqft. 1800 upstairs/ 1800 downstairs and is right in the heart of the new vitalization on Main St all for $5009,000. You are literally directly across from the Carta garage on Market next to the Choo Choo. The street level space can be used for commercial and there are two separate residences upstairs, but this could be built out however the purchaser chooses… Wonderful downtown living if you ask me.
