Hot new property

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.

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.

Bridgeview Condos / Terrace at Frazier

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!

Photo

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. Photo-1

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.

Neutral Party

I am not a neutral party when it comes to government, but perhaps I should be….This article explores Obama’s stand on home ownership vs. rental. Looks like more government for all and where is all that money this incredibly wealthy government is getting coming from??? That being said rent is the only option for some people right now but rent can very easily be more expensive than a mortgage. Being mindful of where your money is going is important but so is being able to afford owning a home which comes with sometimes large bills, i.e. new roof, new a/c, water damage etc…

Check out this great home on at 1606 Wood Nymph Trail Lookout Mountain, GA 30750. 3bd/2ba with over an acre of land for $224,900. You cannot beat the price for the area!
