Williamson County TN Real Estate Market Overview September 2011

The above table is also available for each zip code.

The months of inventory for Williamson County is now at 7.2 months and Nolensville and Spring Hill are still leading the way with below average inventory. The dominant market in Williamson county is still Franklin with 812 sales over the past 6 months and with 945 active listings (single Family Residential). Nolensville also has an unusually high pending ratio at 26% meaning that over 1/4 of their marketed homes have contracts pending. If you are considering a purchase in Nolensville, then you should be aggressively looking with a member of The Grumbles Team as the inventory is being depleted rapidly.

Deeper analysis shows that home prices are still declining. Homes listed for sale without a contract have been reduced almost 6% on average across the county. Homes that have sold over the past 6 months saw 2.6% on average reduction before a buyer was found and then 4.3% was negotiated out off on those homes.

The highest priced home for sale in Williamson County is now $27,500,000 and the lowest price is $10,000, while the median is $400,000. The median SOLD price was $340,000 from the past 6 months.

The past few months of increased sales has reduced the spike in inventory that we saw back in May of this year.

We hope that you have gained further insight into the Williamson County market and that you will read more on our blog or follow our social media links below to learn more about how The Grumbles Team can help you navigate the real estate climate whether buying or selling or investing.

Westhaven Total Market Overview for September 1 2011 by The Grumbles Team

Posted on September 6, 2011 by TheGrumblesTeam | Leave a comment

Westhaven Total Market Overview for September 1 2011 by The Grumbles Team

The real estate market in Middle Tennessee is stabilizing and many neighborhoods are experiencing a shortage of homes for sale compared to the rate at which consumers are buying them in those areas. If you would like to talk to a member of The Grumbles Team to understand if your area is experiencing these signs and what the value of you home would be then please call 615-587-5843. We specialize in knowing the market data and are always glad to share that with our clients at a no obligation consultation.

The chart above shows that now there are 95 homes for sale in Westhaven Subdivision and that 12 homes are pending sales. This pending level is almost equals the high for the past 12 months. That is definitely good news for the real estate climate in this area. The highest price home for sale is $939,900, while the lowest price is $269,900. The median home price on a home listed for sale is $533,578.

The highest price of a SOLD property over the past 6 months is $920,000 and the minimum sales price over that period was $285,000. There is a home pending that has a list price of $1,118,426 so larger luxury homes are still selling in Westhaven.

The table above shows that there is 10 months of active inventory and 12.6% pending ratio. The rest of Williamson County has a lower inventory at 7.2 months, but in this case I think that the dramatic spike in new construction and To Be Built Listings are keeping the inventory number inflated.

Reduced Fee Real Estate Commissions vs The Grumbles Team Difference

Posted on September 1, 2011 by TheGrumblesTeam | 1 Comment

Reduced Fee Real Estate Commissions vs The Grumbles Team Difference

The Grumbles Team understands the local real estate market and will work with sellers to show them exactly how to sell homes for more money and in less time than selling as an unrepresented seller or using an a la cart service. They promise commission savings, but improperly marketing the home and incorrectly pricing it only leads to frustration later and lost dollars when a sale isn’t realized.

Services that The Grumbles Team provides to move the property towards a successful sale and help the Seller realize their goals.

Consult with the Seller on proper marketing strategies, including staging. Consult with the seller on what their goals are in selling a property, share with the seller the market research, and how our proprietary reports can help us determine the most marketable price, Fully review the listing agreement paperwork, schedule a photographer to show the homes features in the best light, install a NAR recommended safe lock-box on the property, install an EXIT REALTY sign on the property indicating your intentions to sell and make an EXIT, prepare a marketing story for the the experience of owing the home including, dining entertaining, and shopping. Conduct market research as to who the potential buyers might be and where they are currently (relocation), conduct MLS research as to what agents may have the future buyer for your home, market to those agents, market to the agents with listings that may be the future buyer for your home (move-up buyer and empty-nester buyers for example). Prepare virtual Tour of the property to showcase the property to buyers doing their research online. Make sure that the property is dominating Google for the area and type of property.

The Grumbles Team does all of this and much much more to get your house SOLD, why because we only get paid when it is SOLD. (And we have not even begun to talk about the negotiating, Title, financing, etc.) A typical a la cart reduced service listing company gets paid up front, so their incentive to do anything else to assist in actually selling your home is zero. When the seller realizes that in a good market or in a bad housing market, that the professional marketing and services provided by a full service agent can generate a higher net. It may be to late as the seller already spent months in a declining market watching their values decline and spent the money up front on a service that did not generate the expected results.

We only request that before signing up for a fee before results agreement that you talk to us and then make your most educated decision as to how you want to proceed with the marketing of your Franklin, TN home.

We also offer free in home market reports and home valuations in Franklin, TN in areas such as Polk Place, Dallas Downs, Sullivan Farms, Westhaven, and McKay’s Mill.

9170 Concord Road Brentwood, TN 37027 For Sale, The Ellis House At Mulberry Hill Historic Home of Williamson County

Posted on August 22, 2011 by TheGrumblesTeam | Leave a comment

9170 Concord Road Brentwood, TN 37027 For Sale , The Ellis House At Mulberry Hill Historic Home of Williamson County

Part 2 – The Log Cabin

The property at 9710 Concord Road Brentwood TN, 37027 is offered for sale and this is a unique chance to own Brentwood history. Debbie Laster has preserved The Ellis House for future generations as the previous owner was also a preservationist, she has the Sanders Cabin relocated to this property around 10 years ago. Please take a moment to read this blog on the cabin and it’s history and then come and see it in person at the Open House on Saturday 8/27/2011 from 2:00 -5:00.

Brentwood Historians can’t document it but it is believed that this is the original 24 member Mill Creek Baptist Church in 1804 which is where the Concord Baptist Church has its roots today. Without that documentation, the log cabin is known as the Sanders Cabin. In the 1830′s it was owned by the Sanders family who had a daughter Nancy who lived in the cabin and later married a Union soldier after he came to collect the chickens after the Civil War. Nancy and Stan were married lived in the cabin but later moved to the North. Upon Stan’s death, Nancy moved back to Williamson County and is believed to have occupied the cabin until her death.

To preserve this cabin each log was numbered and it was disassembled and reassembled correctly at the Mulberry Hill property behind The Ellis House. The current owner restored the log structure and made improvements to see that the history would live on. In a memorial to Stan and Nancy, a Northern and Southern Marriage, Debbie specified Northern White Pine flooring upstairs and Southern Poplar for the main level flooring. The renovation included new sub flooring and many upgrades to make it a more convenient space. These are items like a new 2 ton HVAC system, cable, new toilet fixtures, replaced the screened in porch with new tile flooring and 2 large Pella sliding glass windows.

The loft bedroom was brightened with a triple picture window that provides beautiful scenery of the Mulberry Hill country setting. This cabin would be the perfect place for a person that needs an escape to let the creative juices flow, whether writing, singing, painting, or planning that next business decision. It is truly a place that will be cherished by the next owner as an escape from daily life.

Be sure to read our other blog posts documenting this entire home. The Grumbles Team can schedule a private showing of this great property, simply call 615-587-5843.

The Ellis House At Mulberry Hill Historic Home of Williamson County 9170 Concord Road Brentwood, TN 37027 For Sale

Posted on August 14, 2011 by TheGrumblesTeam | 3 Comments

The Ellis House At Mulberry Hill Historic Home of Williamson County 9170 Concord Road Brentwood, TN 37027 For Sale

Part 1 – The Kitchen House Restoration

The concept of preservationist Debbie Laster was to maintain as much original intent usage as possible and when she began the demolition of some of the kitchen structure to make the many upgrades including all new plumbing and gas lines she found a treasure in the attic above the kitchen. A friend of Debbie’s noticed that the original ca 1830 hand hewn beams were still supporting the roof and then it was decided that the wall between the dining area and the kitchen house should be removed and the ceiling raised to 12 feet to showcase these fantastic beams and create the original style open kitchen as it would have been constructed many years ago in one of the early additions to the property. I think that you will agree from the photo below that this was the first of many great decisions.

During the restoration many quality upgrades were included as well as commercial level updates like 12 gauge wiring throughout and a new buried electrical service installation from the new pole at the street all the way to the house. The kitchen has a fire wall installed to ensure safety to the rest of the property and then Debbie moved on to the kitchen restoration that you can still see today.

The first item was to preserve some of the history of the old removed ceiling which was done by constructing a large center island that would bear the ca 1830 2 inch poplar boards from original kitchen house ceiling. The island includes a triple copper sink and copper faucets with ornate design on the face.

The island needed to have the conveniences that today’s chefs would expect and to make life living in the Ellis House a pleasure so the island was constructed to include a Sharp microwave warming drawer, Miele dishwasher with on

demand water heater, double garbage pullout, and garbage disposal.

The next focus was the appliance choice and no expense was spared as a stainless steel Wolf 60 inch dual fuel grill/griddle range with Wolf 60 inch lighted vent hood with roof mounted external blower were selected. A subzero 42 inch side by side refrigerator is concealed by period panels matching the new kitchen cabinets that are custom made ca 1800″s reproductions fabricated from 50% ca 1800 poplar and solid new poplar. To complete the look of these cabinets in the kitchen the upper cabinets have bronze handles ca 1890 while the hutch cabinet reproductions have 4 leaded glass doors ca 1890. All of the cabinets have Milk paint and Benjamin Moore paint finished with 3 coats of 100% Tung Oil. The base cabinets were complemented by period bin pulls ca 1860 and Bennington reproductions and a slate back splash with a copper pot filler and topped with 2 inch cobra soapstone counter tops.

Keeping with the concept of original use rooms the Miele stainless washer dryer have been relocated under the counter in the kitchen with Bronze knobs ca 1890.

The landscape is always in bloom and there is no expense spared to create a beautiful habitat in which to live. Besides that imagine coming in from work, heading over to the Residents center either for a workout in the gym, or a game of tennis or just to hang out in the relaxing all inclusive game room playing table tennis, air hockey, fooz ball or centipede. Once you burnt off your excess energy you can stroll over to the town center and get dinner at Ching’s Asian Bistro or Oscar’s taco shop or grab a fresh steak at Harris Teeter form the Grill. After dinner take a relaxing swim in either the adult only saline lap pool or enjoy splashing with the kids and such at the two resort pools. All of these amenities are within a walk or short bike ride of the house so they are easy to enjoy. This central location also has the shaded walking trail, stocked fishing pond and a play area within a short walk down Pearl street but out of earshot so the front porch remains quite for your enjoyment.

Westhaven is located a few miles west of Historic Franklin so you can also enjoy nightlife by visiting downtown Franklin to go to the newly renovated Downtown Franklin Theater or some great dining on downtown main-street like The Red pony, 55South Grill, or Riff Burgers.
