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.

If you are interested in learning more about the pleasures of living in Westhaven Community  or the statistics of that market please contact The Grumbles Team or preview our social links below.

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 | 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 | 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.

Mulberry Hill The Ellis House Kitchen showing raised ceiling with exposed Hand Hewn Beams

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.
This property is now offered for sale by The Grumbles Team at EXIT Realty of the South for $894,000.   To continue to learn more about Mulberry Hill – The Ellis House, read our future blog posts going over each aspect of the preservation of the property or contact Mike Grumbles at 615-587-5843 to schedule your private showing.  You can also search historic homes for sale on our website.

Grumbles Team Williamson County Real Estate Analysis for February 2011 and the six months prior

Posted on March 31, 2011 by | 2 Comments

Grumbles Team Williamson County Real Estate Analysis for February 2011 and the six months prior

February 2011 for middle Tennessee was a slow sales month in fact it was the slowest February in the last six February’s. Focusing on just Williamson County the pending ratio dropped from around 7.5% to around 5%, indicating that March would also be a slow sales month.  However real estate seems to be buzzing again Williamson County and we are eager to see March’s sales numbers.   The chart above in the gallery showing the months of inventory and absorption rate is somewhat alarming. With the drastic change, however, it is somewhat to be expected. Each spring you can see the similar result happened in January 2010.  What is alarming is that in 2011, it was much more drastic drop. We now have the highest inventory for the last 14 months.  Months of inventory is just a key indicator for how long it would take to absorb all the current homes listed for sale in Williamson County, if buyers would keep buying them at the same rate.  That absorption rate is about  150 units per month in all of Williamson County and that yields about 14 months of inventory.    Again, these are not predictors of the future they’re only key indications of what happened in the past so we look forward to seeing what the results of our analysis of March show us.

Looking into the detailed citywide analysis of the total market overview there are some interesting things I want to point out, for example, in Franklin specifically there is more inventory than in Brentwood.  The Williamson County cities that have the highest months of inventory or the most inventory to clear out with the current consumption rates are Thompson Station at 21.3 months of inventory and then Fairview at 21.1 months of inventory. You may notice that College Grove has an exceedingly high months of inventory at 45.6. This is  such a small market with very few properties on the market that the numbers just artificially inflated.  So if home to selling Thompson Station or in Fairview you have to price that property that a real value to the buyers because the supply and demand is in favor of the buyers.  If you happen to be buying in either of those markets it’s probably a good time to get the best value for your dollar.

Looking specifically at the active properties in Franklin, we can see that the average property that’s now listed is $627,298 and those homes of already  been reduced 3% down to 97.2% of their original list price that’s a stark difference compared to the average closed price of the last six months in Franklin of only $412,468.    This indicates that the buyers are buying smaller homes with lower sales prices.  A similar trend can be seen in Brentwood.

The Grumbles Team strives to give you all the research and data you might need to make your real estate purchase or sale decisions. We have the total market overview for Williamson County by zip code or by city.  If you’re looking to buy or sell a home outside of Williamson County, we can always prepare a specific total market overview for your area.

412 Vienna Court Franklin Tennessee 37067 Andover Subdivision Single Family Residential Home For Sale

Refined and updated home tucked away from traffic but ohhh-sooo close to Cool Springs active lifestyle and Franklin Tennessee.  This property is fresh and is ready to make someone a great new home.  Practically walking distance to the soon to open Whole Foods store and there should be plenty of appreciation when the McEwen center gets fully developed.  No concerns here about a busy through traffic neighborhood.  Andover is a neighborhood located off of Liberty Pike in Franklin TN that intersects Mallory Lane near the CVS pharmacy and a strip center with many local restaurants and small business as well as fitness club.  From this location it is a few minutes to I-65 at the newly constructed McEwen Exit at Nissan World Headquarters  or to the Hwy 96 Intersection.

The home is at the end of a cul de sac with a green space median creating an elegant entry to the home each day. Inside the main level flooring is updated with a unique dark laminate wood floor.  The decor has been tastefully completed and the touches are sure to appeal to you as it is warm and inviting.  The layout flows well and the casual living areas are privately placed on the rear of the home.  The kitchen has granite counter tops, high-end stainless steel appliances, antiqued cabinetry, and tile flooring.   A home office is located off of the living room and contains professional character.

The four bedrooms are all upstairs as is the laundry room.  No shoebox bedrooms in this floor plan, the Rutledge from Pulte homes).   The landing at the top of the stairs is not confining and has an overlook for the 2 story foyer.

The master suite is ample even for a king sized bedroom suit and large furnishings.  The double door entrance to the master bath reveals an upgraded master suite that is stylish and roomy.  Great warm colors and custom cabinets and sinks.  The walk-in closet is perfect.


The rear yard has a complete privacy fence and a barrier of natural area between the adjoining property.  The large magnolia tree will provide great shade for entertaining on the patio.  Ample room in the rear yard and a unique paved work patio on the side of the home for projects.  The garage is clean enough to eat-in and it even has the work table now to do just that.
