Why Move To Nashville?

I was born in Ohio, raised in Charlotte, NC and moved to Nashville in March or 2004. My son was born in Charlotte, my daughter, right here in Nashville and our new baby will be born here in Nashville in a few weeks. This is a great place to raise a family. The city is also rich in History. In the War of 1812, General Andrew Jackson, was credited with winning the final battle in New Orleans which reported ended the war. When he came back to Nashville, they gave him a heros welcome. The church where this took place still stands today! You can also visit his home in Hermitage, TN. You can also visit many civil war sites and battlefields in and around the Nashville area. Aside from the rich historical benefits Nashville offers, you can spend many evenings downtown on Broadway going in and out of all the classic "honky-tonks" and listen to some of the worlds greatest musicians playing nightly in over a dozen different bars and clubs.

Nashville also has several museums and art gallery's, legendary music stores and record shops as well as plenty of shopping at Opry Mills Mall and Cool Springs Galleria.

Did you know that TN does not have a state income tax? Now that's reason enough to move here! Granted, we have a higher sales tax than some, but even at 9.25% sales tax, you still come out better than paying an income tax.

If you would like more information on our great city or the surrounding areas, please let me know!

Don't Miss the Boat!

If you have followed the stock market the last year and were not regularly investing in it, you have missed the boat and I know you have got to be kicking yourself for it. Let's just look at Ford Motor Company. Imagine you bought $10,000 worth of stock in Ford last April when stock was about $2.00 per share. $10,000 would have bought you 5,000 shares of stock. Today, on March 24th, 2010, only 11 months later, that investment of $10,000 would be valued at $69,300! You see, the best time to invest in anything, is when you can get it cheap. If you can get a quality product for a low price, you do stand to make money in time. This is exactly where we are in the housing market right now. No one really knows if we are totally at the bottom, but we have got to be pretty close. In many markets, housing prices are down 30% to 50% and even more. No one could promise you that the stock market was going to recover. No one can promise you the housing market will recover. All we have to look at is the past. Everything we see and know point to increased home values. In a free market, values do go up and down based on demand and other market drivers. If you are upset about missing the boat on the first major increase in the stock market, maybe you want to try to ride the potential wave of the real estate market by buying a new home or even try your hand at investment property?

Setting Expectations As A First Time Home Buyer

Many first-time home buyers really do not have a grasp on the housing market. This is okay! I was the same way when I bought my first home. I had no idea what I was doing or how much things cost or were supposed to cost. Now that I'm a little older, and have bought and sold a couple more times, and not to mention the fact that I'm a real estate agent now and was not then... I know much more about the market. I'm supposed to. It's my job to know! One of the things that will help you if you are a first time home buyer, is to set you expectations correctly. Here's one of the best ways to do that. Contact a couple of lenders or mortgage bankers, and ask them to get you pre-approved or pre-qualified. They will need to know some personal and financial information, but you will need to do this anyway to get a loan for a home. Once you know what you qualify for, you will know how much house you can afford. With that information, you can get a good Realtor or real estate agent to send you a list of properties that are in that price range of what the bank has qualified you for. It's very important that you know what you can afford prior to looking for houses. It's real tough to think that you can afford a $225,000 home and go look at a few of those only to find out that you only qualify for $175,000. Not that a $175,000 house is a bag thing, but when you compare it to a house that costs $50,000 more, you are not going to be happy with what you can get. So, save yourself some heartache and emotional scaring, get pre-approved before you start the house hunt! If you are a first time home buyer right now, don't forget about the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit. Ask me or a local Realtor or real estate agent if you qualify. This credit will expire very soon! As always, I hope this post was informative to you!
